Open Your Eyes
Guano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever

Have you ever been for sale?
When your isms get smart
Oh so selfish and mindless
With that comment in your eye
Do you think that you are hard?
Really harder than the other
Man you're acting cold
If you are not in charge
Don't split your mentality
Without thinking twice
Your voice has got no reason
Now is the time to face your lies

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god, don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat that machine that works in your head

Will you offer me some tricks
If I ever need them
Would you go into that room
If I call 'em
Do you think that you are better
Really better than the rest
You realized there's a problem
I know that you can give your best
Have you ever had a dream?
Or is life just a trip?
A trip without chances
A chance to grow up quick

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god, don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat that machine that works in your head

Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever
Night and night you feel nothing
There's no way outside of my land

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god, don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat that machine that works in your head

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god, don't pretend to be blind




Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat that machine that works in your head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Guano Apes’s song, “Open Your Eyes” encourage listeners to think critically about their lives and the world around them. The opening line, “Hide your face forever, dream and search forever,” suggests that we hide from our fears and challenges, hoping that they will go away. However, the song suggests that this is not the best way forward. The following lines, “Have you ever been for sale? When your isms get smart, oh so selfish and mindless,” seem to imply that we might be selling ourselves short by subscribing to other people’s beliefs and value systems without considering their impact on our lives.


The song then goes on to challenge listeners to be introspective and to question their assumptions about themselves and the world around them. The chorus, “Open your eyes, open your mind, proud like a god, don’t pretend to be blind,” challenges us to overcome our biases and be open to the truth. Additionally, the line “Beat that machine that works in your head,” suggests that we need to break free from the limiting social constructs that often define us and determine our perspective.


Overall, the lyrics of “Open Your Eyes" encourage us to be more awake and aware of our surroundings, to think for ourselves and to be brave enough to face the realities of the world head-on.

РАСКРОЙ СВОИ ГЛАЗА

...скрывай своё лицо вечно.... —
..мечтай и будь в поиске вечно!..

...ты когда-нибудь "продавался", —
в то время, как учения, которым верил, заумными чересчур оказывались?
- ...о, это так эгоистично и легкомысленно!... -
..особенно когда во взгляде твоём виден комментарий..
- думаешь, что тебе так трудно? -
реально, - думаешь, тебе сложнее, чем остальным?!
— ..."врубил крутого", —
когда не "самый главный" ты!...
- ..смотри, не сойди с ума,
пока не взвесил всё дважды!!.. -
у тебя нет оснований повышать свой голос,
и настало время раскрыть всё твоё враньё!!
— ...раскрой свои глаза, свой разум раскрой!!... —
хоть ты и горд, словно бог, не прикидывайся слепцом!
..если запутался в себе, лучше вырвись из всего этого!
— победи тот механизм, что работает в твоей голове!!..

будешь выкидывать передо мной "фокусы" всякие,
даже если мне это будет нужно?
— ...войдёшь ли ты ко мне туда,
куда позову я?... —
считаешь, что ты лучше,
реально, лучше остальных?! —
понимаешь, - в этом вся проблема! -
ведь я-то знаю - на большее способен ты!!
...у тебя когда-нибудь была мечта?
или для тебя жизнь всего лишь путешествие?
то, в котором ни на что нет никакого шанса,
особенно - нет шанса быстро повзрослеть!...
...раскрой свои глаза, свой разум раскрой!!... —
хоть ты и горд, словно бог, не прикидывайся слепцом!
..если запутался в себе, лучше вырвись из всего этого!
— ...победи механизм, что работает в твоей голове!!...

..скрывай своё лицо вечно..
— ...мечтай и ищи себя вечно!!... —
за ночью - ночь, а ты так ничего и не ощущаешь! -
ведь из "моих владений" выхода нет, понимаешь?

...раскрой глаза!! разум освободи!!!... —
хоть и горд, подобно богу, - не прикидывайся слепым!!
..если запутался в себе, лучше вырвись из всего этого!
— ...победи механизм, что работает в твоей голове!!!...
- ...раскрой свои глаза!!! свой разум раскрой!!!... -
хоть ты и горд, будто бог, - не прикидывайся слепцом!!
..если запутался в себе, лучше вырвись из всего этого!!
- ..победи тот механизм, что работает в твоей голове!!!..

"Open your eyes"


Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever

Have you ever been for sale
When your isms get smart
Oh so selfish and mindless
With that comment in your eye
Do you think that you are hard
Really harder than the other
Man you're acting cold
If you are not in charge
Don't split your mentality
Without thinking twice
Your voice has got no reason
Now is the time to face your lies

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a God don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head

Will you offer me some tricks
If I ever need them
Would you go into that room
If I call 'em
Do you think that you are better
Really better than the rest
Realize there's a problem
I know that you can give your best
Have you ever had a dream
Or is life just a trip
A trip without chances
A chance to grow up quick

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head

Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever
Night and night you feel nothing
There's no way outside of my land

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head

100% correct song lyrics is here:
(Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever)

Have you ever been for sale?
When your ism gets smart
Oh, such a mindless
With that comment in your eye

Do you think that you are hard?
Really harder than the other?
Man, you’re acting cold
If you are not in charge

Don’t split your mentality
Without thinking twice
Your voice has got no reason
Now is the time to face your lies

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a God, don’t pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head

Will you offer me some tricks,
If I ever need them?
Would you go into that room,
If I call ‘em?

Do you think that you are better?
Really better than the rest?
You realize there’s a problem
I know that you can give your best

Have you ever had a dream?
Or is life just a trip?
A trip without chances
A chance to grow up quick

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a God, don’t pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head

(…Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever
Night and night you feel nothing
There’s no way outside of my land)

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a God, don’t pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head [x2]
