Open Your Eyes
Don Trip/Starlito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It says I'm never there and our relationships a ghost
Seeing as I'm fresh to death that shit should come of no surprise
I can see shes growing tired of tryin' to swim against the tide
And I ain't got no feelings its as if I was paralyzed
And all she seems to hear from me lately is alibis
But she's so in love with me I canht imagine why
I'm paid but her heart's the one thing you can't bribe
I would apologize but my pride's too oversized for me to swallow it
Gotta check your dial the time is now for us to call it quits
You hurt so I'll excuse you while you talkin' shit and tossing shit
Gotta duck like a nigga play for Iraq
And rewind it up divide it like a pint of Neapolitan
Although they say we all scream for ice cream
I shoulda done more than buy you nice things
[Chorus]
Tell me will you ever wake up
Will you ever see
That this is where I wanna be
Do anything for you except bleed
Even when it was hard for me
Kept holdin' on when I wanted to let go
All your secrets safe with me I'll never tell a soul
Just can't figure out why I can never tell you no
Say you love me but you never let it show
So I guess I'll never know
Alarm clock snooze button waking up wit whose woman
Not mine lately I been prayin' I can stop lyin'
'Cause last time wasn't the last time she couldn't stop cryin'
Livin' out a part grind my girlfriend my glock 9
But all I need in this life of sin is more money than I can spend
And her callin' like where you been
And me replyin' grinding babe sorry I ain't make no time today
But look I'm doin' fine let me catch this other line okay
You understand that understand me fuck them side hoes ain't no plan b
Ain't no plan b pills unplanned parenting apparently I ain't found her yet where is she
Lookin' for her like future got me lookin' forward to my future
Wifey no baby mama throwin' rice no Benny Hanas
Lookin' for a pretty woman with the wisdom of my grand mama
I'm trippin' kinda sound like I'm dreamin' don't it
[Chorus]
Tell me will you ever wake up
Will you ever see
That this is where I wanna be
Do anything for you except bleed
Even when it was hard for me
Kept holdin' on when I wanted to let go
All your secrets safe with me I'll never tell a soul
Just can't figure out why I can never tell you no
Say you love me but you never let it show
So I guess I'll never know
The lyrics to Don Trip/Starlito's song Open Your Eyes explore the theme of a failing relationship. The verses in the song present two perspectives - the first is from the point of view of the rapper, who is seemingly narcissistic and insensitive to his girlfriend's needs. He seems to be more concerned about his image and material possessions, and doesn't make time for his significant other. The second verse presents a somewhat different perspective, as the lyrics become more reflective, and the rapper questions his choices and seeks a deeper connection with someone who has the wisdom of his grandmother.
The chorus is an appeal for the significant other to wake up and recognize the rapper's commitment to the relationship. The chorus also hints at the difficulty of communication between the two, as she seems to have trouble expressing her love, leading the rapper to question whether his efforts are truly appreciated. Overall, the song presents a picture of a relationship that is in disarray, with the rapper torn between his ambitions and the need for a deeper emotional connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Skimmin' through this letter that she wrote
Reading through the letter she wrote to me
It says I'm never there and our relationships a ghost
The letter expresses that I'm not present and our relationship is non-existent
Seeing as I'm fresh to death that shit should come of no surprise
Since I present myself well, it shouldn't be a shock that she's dissatisfied
I can see shes growing tired of tryin' to swim against the tide
She's getting exhausted from trying to fix things that seem hopeless
And I ain't got no feelings its as if I was paralyzed
It feels like I have no emotions, like I'm numb
And all she seems to hear from me lately is alibis
I keep giving her excuses instead of making things right
But she's so in love with me I canht imagine why
She loves me deeply, even though I don't see why
I'm paid but her heart's the one thing you can't bribe
Money can't buy her love and affection
So we goin' back and forth with all the arguments
We argue a lot
I would apologize but my pride's too oversized for me to swallow it
I should apologize, but my ego is too big to let me apologize
Gotta check your dial the time is now for us to call it quits
It's time for us to break up
You hurt so I'll excuse you while you talkin' shit and tossing shit
I'll forgive you for the hurtful things you say or do while you're upset
Gotta duck like a nigga play for Iraq
I have to dodge like I'm in a warzone
And rewind it up divide it like a pint of Neapolitan
Taking it back and analyzing it like it's a Neapolitan ice cream split into sections
Although they say we all scream for ice cream
Even though people say we all love ice cream
I shoulda done more than buy you nice things
I know I should have done more to show my love, not just give material possessions
[Chorus] Tell me will you ever wake up
Asking if she'll realize what's happening
Will you ever see
Will she see the truth?
That this is where I wanna be
This relationship is where I truly want to be
Do anything for you except bleed
I'll do anything for her, except sacrifice too much of myself
Even when it was hard for me
Even when things get difficult
Kept holdin' on when I wanted to let go
I held on despite wanting to end it
All your secrets safe with me I'll never tell a soul
I'll keep all her secrets safe and never reveal them
Just can't figure out why I can never tell you no
I can't understand why I can't say no to her requests
Say you love me but you never let it show
She says she loves me but it's not always evident
So I guess I'll never know
I might never find out the truth
Alarm clock snooze button waking up wit whose woman
Waking up next to someone who's not my girlfriend
Not mine lately I been prayin' I can stop lyin'
It's not my girlfriend, and I want to stop lying
'Cause last time wasn't the last time she couldn't stop cryin'
She's cried before, and it's not the first time
Livin' out a part grind my girlfriend my glock 9
Living in a world of struggle with my girlfriend and gun by my side
But all I need in this life of sin is more money than I can spend
Money is my priority in this sinful life
And her callin' like where you been
She's asking where I've been
And me replyin' grinding babe sorry I ain't make no time today
I apologize for not having time for her
But look I'm doin' fine let me catch this other line okay
I'm doing well, let me take this other call
You understand that understand me fuck them side hoes ain't no plan b
You should understand that I have no backup plan or other women
Ain't no plan b pills unplanned parenting apparently I ain't found her yet where is she
I don't have a fallback plan, and I'm not ready for unplanned pregnancy or fatherhood until I find the right woman
Lookin' for her like future got me lookin' forward to my future
I'm searching for the right woman and excited for my future with her
Wifey no baby mama throwin' rice no Benny Hanas
I want a wife, not just a baby mama. I want a real wedding, not just fancy dinners
Lookin' for a pretty woman with the wisdom of my grand mama
I want a beautiful woman with the same level of wisdom as my grandmother
I'm trippin' kinda sound like I'm dreamin' don't it
I might sound crazy or delusional, but it's what I want
