I.O.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One memory flows in the air (let's think about)
So brothers and sisters, this we discovered (honesty)
Out roots and destiny push all the clouds away
Open up your heart and you will feel
Open up your eyes and you will see (open up your eyes)
Everybody's yearning, keep the fire burning
Open up your heart and you'll believe
Sometime the truth goes undercover
Get into the move and let it flow (like the wind, you know)
Go people around me, stand up like brothers
We're rising upon the sky to fly away
Open up your heart and you will feel (I know you'll feel it)
Open up your eyes and you will see (open up your heart)
Everybody's yearning, keep the fire burning
When love sets us free
Open up your heart and you'll believe
The song "Open" by I.O.S is a call for unity and love amongst all people. The lyrics suggest that if we open our hearts and eyes, we can achieve a sense of unity and understand that we all share the same roots and destiny. One of the key themes discussed in the song is honesty, and the importance of people being truthful with one another in order to create an environment where love can flourish.
The first line of the song, "We need unity between each other," is a powerful statement that highlights the need for people to come together in order to achieve a greater sense of community. The following line suggests that there is one memory flowing in the air that we need to think about in order to remember our shared connections. The song goes on to encourage people to stand up like brothers and sisters and rise up to fly away on the wings of unity and love.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that if we open up our hearts and eyes, we will feel and see the love and unity that surrounds us. The lyrics also suggest that everybody is yearning for this sense of unity, and that we need to keep the fire of love burning in order to achieve it.
Overall, the message of "Open" is one of hope and unity. It encourages people to be truthful and open with each other, to come together as brothers and sisters, and to keep the fire of love burning in order to achieve a greater sense of community.

1 van de mooiste Nederlandstalige liedjes waar ik om de zoveel maanden naar terug kom om heel hard te draaien.
Hun laatste 2 platen zijn te gek en het is heel vreemd dat zij niet dezelfde status hebben als inderdaad een Blof zoals al eerder genoemd werd.
Gestoord inteelt clubje in de NL muziek scene. Er lopen trouwens nog veel meer bandjes rond in Nederland waar je spontaan kippenvel van krijgt. Er is helaas nog nauwelijks een podium voor.
