Open Your Eyes
David Guetta - Stereo Mc'S - Joachim Garraud Lyrics

In David Guetta’s Open Your Eyes, the singer is in deep torment without their loved one. The first few lines are a clear indication that something is wrong: “All this feels strange and untrue / And I won't waste a minute without you / My bones ache, my skin feels cold / And I'm getting so tired and so cold.” The person is experiencing physical and emotional pain in the absence of this loved one. The next line mentions that “anger swells in my guts” which is a clear manifestation of frustration and sadness. The following line, “And I won't feel these slices and cuts” implies that the person is numbing themselves to avoid further emotional pain.

The chorus of the song is a plea to their loved one to open their eyes and see how much they are hurting: “I want so much to open your eyes / 'Cause I need you to look into mine / Tell me that you'll open your eyes / Tell me that you'll open your eyes / Tell me that you'll open your eyes / Tell me that you'll open your eyes.” Guetta’s plea for the person to open their eyes is essentially a call to action, an attempt to make the person see how much they need them.

In the second verse, the singer implores their loved one to leave behind the negativity that is holding them back: “Get up, get out, get away from these liars / 'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire / Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine / And we'll walk from this minute now / We can do what we like anywhere.” They want to be free from any negative influence in their life and start anew with their loved one. The final line of the song affirms the person's desire to be with their loved one: “And I won't waste a minute without you.”
