1) Omnipresent, superficially saccharine, and catchy, Dessert connect with their target audience in ways parents could never hope to understand or achieve. Dessert speak primarily to the young and disenfranchised with songs of inclusiveness, selflessness, and of purpose. Those willing to look past the glib and market-savvy image of the jpop ensemble will find intelligent, compelling lyrics that can be appreciated on many levels. Dessret are much, much more than the sum of their parts. To their fans, Dessert are a way of life (and of death it seems in Suicide Circle).

2) Now disfunct Heavy metal band from Riga, Latvia, formed in 1989. They have released one EP "Rockin' From Riga" (1990).

3) A Japanese Hardcore band. They released one full-length "soul searching" , one ep "world of fantasy" and appeared a few compilations.

4) Electronic musician with only a few tracks available. I haven't been able to find much on them but here's there itunes page: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/devil-single/id1158467358?i=1158467370

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Eyes Wide Shut" by Dessert reflect the unease of someone who is grappling with personal and universal issues. The opening lines express a feeling of internal struggle and haunting memories that the singer is experiencing. However, they are not interested in exposing the truth, indicating a sense of powerlessness or disillusionment with the current system. The use of the word 'cosmic amnesiacs' adds an existential dimension to the concerns, hinting that even the universe may be forgetful of the happenings in humanity's brief existence.

The chorus, "Eyes wide shut," is a reference to the film of the same name by Stanley Kubrick. In the movie, the singer willingly closes himself off to reality, an act mirrored in the lyrics of the song. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the singer's resignation to the current state of things.

The repeated line, "It's so simple like this," suggests a sense of acceptance or surrender to the way things are, even if it is not desirable. The juxtaposition of complicated issues with a dismissive tone highlights the overwhelming and complex nature of society's problems. The song leaves us with a few questions; What is the future of humanity when we are resigned to accepting the status quo? What does it mean when a system forgets about its own existence?

Line by Line Meaning

I know it haunts me and I want you too
I am aware that my past troubles me and I feel the same about you.

But I′m not trying to expose the truth
I have no intention of revealing everything that happened.

What's the future in this system of cosmic amnesiacs?
What is the point of dwelling in an existence where everything is forgotten?

It′s so simple like this
Everything seems to be easy when we stay quiet about everything.

Eyes wide shut, mm
We see nothing with our eyes closed, but it's also dangerous to keep them open.
