Open Your Eyes
DJ Encore (Feat. Engelina) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've given you some time
I can't make you come along
If you don't share your mind
Everytime you close your eyes
I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight
Is drowning in the rain
What does it take, to open your eyes
Don't let if fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes, don't let me wait
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Tell me why you turn away whenever I believe
Finally you've come to say I'm everything you need
Everytime you close your eyes
I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight
Is drowning in the rain
What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes, don't let me wait
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
I'm not asking of you, to give yourself away
I just want you to hear the words I say
It's only a matter of time x4
What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes don't let me wait
You've got to let the sunshine through the rain
In DJ Encore's song "Open Your Eyes", the singer is pleading with someone to let their guard down and be present in the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the other person has been closed off and distant, and the singer has been waiting patiently for them to open up. However, the singer is aware that it takes effort from both sides to make a relationship work, and they are frustrated with the lack of progress. The idea of the rain drowning everything in its path could be a metaphor that represents the difficulties and challenges that the couple is facing in their relationship.
The repeated refrain "What does it take to open your eyes" emphasizes the singer's exasperation and the urgency of the situation. The line "I'm not asking of you, to give yourself away" suggests that the singer does not want the other person to sacrifice their identity or independence, only to be more emotionally present. The phrase "It's only a matter of time" at the end of the song suggests that the singer has hope that things will improve eventually.
Overall, "Open Your Eyes" is a powerful and emotional plea for connection and intimacy in a strained relationship.
