Close Your Eyes
Edwin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think that you should know
While you're standing in the center
As the star of your own show
The lights come on and the juices flow
You smile and wave and then you have to go
They'll be eating from your hands
So close your eyes
Overdosing on the high you ride
The sounds and the sights
Of the world you love, dragonfire wonderland
You look around and they're watching you
Taking notes on everything you do
Behind the shades that block the sight of what you really did last night
So close your eyes
Overdosing on the high you ride
The sounds and the sights
Of the world you love, dragonfire wonderland
So close your eyes
Overdosing on the high you ride
The sounds and the sights
Of the world you love, dragonfire wonderland
Close your eyes
Overdosing on the high you ride
The sounds and the sight
Of the world you love
In this song, Edwin reflects on the exhilaration that comes with being in the spotlight. He exhorts his listeners that as they stand in the center of attention as the star of their own show, they must remember that they are in control. Edwin describes the rush that comes with being on stage - the lights shining on you, the audience enthralled, and the sense of power that it gives you. The lyrics also suggest that there is a hidden darkness to the fame, highlighted by the lines "Taking notes on everything you do, behind the shades that block the sight of what you really did last night." The song ends with a repetition of the title and a call to indulge in the dragonfire wonderland of fame - even if it's only in your mind.
Overall, "Close Your Eyes" seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of succumbing to the draw of fame and celebrity. Edwin outlines both the exhilaration and the limitations of stardom, driving home the idea that those who seek it might find themselves intoxicated by it, but may also find that it elevates them to a pedestal that they can't escape from.
