Scream
Eyes Wide Open Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are lost in the fray
Sorrow leads the way
Even the last anchors that
Holds you will fade
In need to cross the ocean and turn the tide
Turn the tide

Walk the endless road
Time to let it go
The echoes of a distant failure
In a sleepless haze
You wander the shadows

In this violent maze you
Set yourself free and

Scream
Let it out
Breath me in

And from the top of your lungs just scream
Let it out
Breathe me in
And so we scream

Washed up on the shore

Time to cut the cord
The colors of a brighter future
In a sleepless haze
You wander the shadows
In this violent maze you
Set yourself free and

Scream
Let it out
Breath me in
And from the top of your lungs just scream
Let it out
Breathe me in
And so we scream
Scream

You'll fill the distant hollow
And from the top of your lungs just scream
You'll fill the distant hollow
Let it out
Breathe me in
And so we scream
You'll fill the distant hollow
Let it out
Breathe me in
And so we scream
Scream

Overall Meaning

The song "Scream" by Eyes Wide Open deals with themes of emotional pain and finding release through screaming. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being lost in a difficult situation, where sorrow seems to be leading the way. Even the things that used to anchor the person are fading away, and they feel the need to cross the ocean and turn the tide to change their situation.


The chorus of the song encourages the listener to let out their emotions with a powerful scream. It's a moment of release, a time to let go of the past and the failures that haunt them. They wander in the shadows of their own thoughts, but in this violent maze, they're setting themselves free by screaming.


Overall, the song is a call for catharsis through the power of screaming. It's an anthem for anyone who feels oppressed or repressed and needs a way to release their emotions. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest that screaming can be a way to take control of one's own life and break free from the patterns that keep us stuck in difficult situations.
