Eyes Wide Shut
Bukahara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how do you feel?
It's on you to be bored
Our life is just a show
Turn off your phone
And how do you feel?
If you don't know what to do there are people right in front of you
The dreams that we forget
Cos hope is not the answer
If you keep your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Rip down your routine
And where will you be?
Like the rivers flow
You will know which way to go
Leave to city
And who will you be?
Begin all alone
You will find your reality
So try to remember
The dreams that we forget
Cos hope is not the answer
If you keep your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Turn off your TV
And how do you feel?
It's on you to be bored
Our life is just a show
Turn off your phone
And how do you feel?
If you don't know what to do there are people right in front of you
So try to remember
The dreams that we forget
Cos hope is not the answer
If you keep your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
Your eyes wide shut
The song "Eyes Wide Shut" by Bukahara advocates for a simpler and more fulfilling life, encouraging listeners to disconnect from electronic devices and their daily routine and instead connect with the people and world around them. The song begins by suggesting that turning off the TV and phone can help one to identify their inner feelings and avoid boredom, leading to a more mindful and purposeful existence. The lyrics then recommend breaking away from routine and exploring new places without being influenced by others, eventually leading to the discovery of one's true identity and reality. The final lyrics reiterate the importance of keeping one's eyes open, meaning staying aware of the world and the people around, rather than leading a life with closed eyes.
In essence, the song asks people to be more mindful of their surroundings and suggests that a simpler, less tech-dependent lifestyle can lead to greater happiness and self-discovery. In addition, "Eyes Wide Shut" points out the importance of maintaining a sense of childlike wonder and dreaming of possible futures, rather than relying solely on hope.
