Open Your Heart
Crush 40 featuring Bentley Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Danger, water rising
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds, floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take
All the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we?
What can we do?
You and I are the same in the way that
We have our own styles and we won't change
Yours is filled with evil, and mine is not
There is no way I can lose
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Ancient cities blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger
I don't know why you got me
But you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick
You won't have it your own way
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see
If it won't stop
There will be no future for us
It's hearts tied down by
All the hate, gotta set it free
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Gotta open your heart dude!
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Open your heart
Open your heart
The song "Open your heart" by Crush 40 (Johnny Gioeli) is an upbeat and powerful rock anthem that can be interpreted in a few different ways. On the one hand, the lyrics seem to describe a world in chaos, full of danger and fear, with dark creatures and steel clouds looming over everything. However, despite this bleak outlook, the singer is determined to never let go and to find a way through the chaos. The chorus encourages the listener to "Open your heart," implying that the key to making it through tough times is to be open, vulnerable, and willing to connect with others.
The verses of the song describe the chaos and destruction all around, with thunder, rain, and lightning emphasizing the danger. The sirens wailing further add to the sense of unease and fear. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that by opening our hearts and connecting with others, we can find a way through even the scariest of situations. The bridge of the song adds a note of urgency, describing how there will be "no future for us" if the hate and anger are allowed to tie our hearts down.
Overall, "Open your heart" is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to stay strong and open themselves up to others, even during times of chaos and fear.
