Close My Eyes
Gold Mind Squad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe it's, the way you reject me
You never call, I'm always hopeful
Even though I know.
It always ends the same
Your photo with no frame
I want you to be there next to me
When I close my eyes
I want you to see my actions speak
My every line
When I close my eyes
I hope you hear this
I want you to know that
Your everywhere I am
And every girl that I see
Isn't half the girl that you are to me
So throw away the things that hold you back
I want you to be there next to me
When I close my eyes
I want you to see my actions speak
My every line
When I close my eyes
When I close my, when I close my eyes...
I want you to be there.
The song "Close My Eyes" by Gold Mind Squad is a love song that talks about a man who is madly in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate his feelings. The main character in the song is hopelessly in love with someone who never calls and always rejects him. Despite the pain, he longs for this person to be by their side, and he imagines that this will happen when he closes his eyes. The recurrent statement, "I want you to be there next to me when I close my eyes," highlights the singer's desire to be with the one he loves.
The lyrics suggest that the singer feels that this person is everything to him, and he sees her in every girl he meets. He recognizes that although she is not perfect, to him, she is far superior to any other girl he comes across. He urges her to be herself and throw away the things that hold her back, indicating his willingness to accept her the way she is.
In essence, the song is about the struggle of finding love when the other person is not interested. The singer is willing to wait, hoping that someday he will be with the one he loves. However, it is uncertain whether this love affair will be successful, as the person that he loves doesn't seem to reciprocate his feelings. The song explores the complexities of unrequited love and the lengths one is willing to go to find love.
