Eyes Wide Open has since carved their way into the halls of Swedish Metal. Pointed out as a Melodic death metal or metalcore band by different genre purist, but Eyes Wide Open’s soul lies within the melody, big choruses and their catchy riffs.
With ”And so it begins” the Eyes Wide Open trilogy is finally complete. Starting with ”Revelations” to tell us whats about to come if we continue to leech on this planet and ”Aftermath” how we may or may not live through it.
”And so it begins” takes on the perspective of today, where we stand with all of our problems like wars, environmental disasters and our addiction to luxury. Will the revelations come true?
With the sudden departure of vocalist Patrik Fahlin, Eyes Wide Open had to evolve and Erik stepped up as their new vocalist.
Erik says: People probably thought we were done for when Patrik left us, but we pulled through big time. And now I don´t hesitate to say we are better than ever. With ”And so it begins” we prove ourselves among the top players and now I´m just thrilled to get out there to kick some ass.

Eyes Wide Open Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t wanna hear your delusive song
Pointless meanings and trivial gains
but at least you feed the trees
What you give is what you get
And for you I got nothing
Down to the wire
A spark to a wildfire
And the flames are burning me up
Burning me up
Burning me
I can’t stand the words from your lips
Shut up, you fucked it up
Please just stop your preaching to me
I cannot take it, I got the disease
It’s draining energy that I cannot refill
Blinding light
Down to the wire
A spark to a wildfire
And the flames are burning me up
Burning me up
Burning me
I can feel the flames that burn inside of me
I can feel the flames that burn inside of me
I can feel the flames that burn inside of me
I can feel the flames that burn inside of me
Blinding light
Down to the wire
A spark to a wildfire
And the flames are burning me up
Burning me up
Burning me
I can sense the power
That sparked my wildfire
And the flames are burning me up
Burning me up
Burning me

Line by Line Meaning
Don’t know why you’re holding on
I can't comprehend why you're refusing to let go
Don’t wanna hear your delusive song
I don't want to listen to your deceptive words
Pointless meanings and trivial gains
Your words and actions hold no significance or meaningful rewards
but at least you feed the trees
However, your presence still contributes to the growth and sustainability of nature
What you give is what you get
The consequences you face are a result of your own actions
And for you I got nothing
I have no positive response or value to offer you
Blinding light
An overwhelmingly bright presence
Down to the wire
Reaching a critical point or moment of decision
A spark to a wildfire
A small and insignificant event that escalates into a destructive and unstoppable force
And the flames are burning me up
The intense emotions or consequences I am experiencing are overwhelming and consuming me
I can’t stand the words from your lips
I have reached my limit and cannot tolerate the things you say
Shut up, you fucked it up
Please be quiet, your actions have ruined everything
Please just stop your preaching to me
I implore you to cease your attempts to persuade or instruct me
I cannot take it, I got the disease
I am unable to bear it, I am afflicted by the pain or negativity
It’s draining energy that I cannot refill
It is depleting my energy and I am unable to replenish it
I can feel the flames that burn inside of me
I am aware of the passionate emotions that consume me
I can sense the power
I can perceive the strength or force
That sparked my wildfire
That ignited the intense and uncontrollable emotions within me
