Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are believing in words that we don't understand
Trust in the media's honest appeal
And forgot to trust in what we feel
Set all your channels open to receive
It will not be in vain
Collecting and reflecting
Life behind the barriers, in invisible frontiers
In a jail of glass, with walls made of frozen tears
Through windows we see, in the papers, on TV
Those information cannot mean much
Through windows we see, but we cannot touch
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
It is just a different state of mind
A thinking of a different kind
A little bit more encouraged voice
Speaking for the right of choice
Farewell to all that lies behind
Farewell to this pair of tired eyes
The head in the sky, the feet on the ground
We break all the walls around
Life behind the barriers, in invisible frontiers
In a jail of glass, with walls made of frozen tears
Through windows we see, in the papers, on TV
Those information cannot mean much
Through windows we see, but we cannot touch
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
Open eyes and open ears
Won't let us get too far
If we can't lay down our masquerades
And stand for what we are
All these sheets of glass are the barries between
Those of us, who wish to be
Those, who don't wish to seem
It's time to open windows in our minds
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
"Open Windows" by Everon is a song about the dangers of blindly putting trust in media and information that we do not understand, and the importance of breaking down the barriers and opening our minds to new perspectives. The song begins with the acknowledgment that the world has become too complex for us to fully comprehend and control, forcing us to rely on news and media for information. However, we have forgotten to trust our own instincts and feelings, and instead have put blind trust in these sources. The first verse urges us to open ourselves up to new ideas and perspectives, to collect and reflect on the information we are receiving.
The second verse describes the feeling of being trapped in a world of invisible barriers, where even the windows we use to see the world are made of a jail of glass, representing the limitations of our perspectives. The song urges us to move beyond these barriers, to break down the walls that we have built around ourselves, and to leave behind the limitations of past experiences and perspectives. The chorus repeats the message of the importance of opening our minds and leaving behind the barriers that limit our understanding of the world.
The bridge of the song presents the idea that being open-minded requires a mind-shift, one that encourages us to prioritize the right of choice, and to speak up for our beliefs rather than following the herd. The outro reaffirms the message that we need to break down the barriers between ourselves and the world, to remove the blinders from our eyes and open our minds to new possibilities.
