Open Your Eyes
Case & Point ft. Lara Woolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We starve-look at one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Somewhere inside something
There is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives? I fashion my future
On films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything

Manchester England England
Manchester England England (eyes look your last)
Across the Atlantic Sea (arms take your last embrace)
And I'm a genius genius (and lips oh you the doors)
I believe in God (of breath, seal with)
And I believe that God (a righteous kiss)
Believes in Claude (seal with a righteous kiss)
That's me, that's me (the rest is silence)
That's me (the rest is silence)
(The rest is silence)

We starve-look
At one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Singing
Our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sun shine in

(Let the sun shine)

Let the sunshine (let the sunshine on in)
Let the sunshine in (yeah)
The sunshine in (open up your heart)
Let the sunshine (open up your heart)
Let the sunshine in (yeah, yeah)
The sunshine in (let it in)
Let the sunshine (let it in, let it in)
Let the sunshine in (let it in, yeah)
The sun shine in

Let the sunshine




Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
