Close Your Eyes
Kim Petras Lyrics

Close your eyes
The chorus repeats the phrase as a call to action, emphasizing that the situation is dangerous and the only solution is to not look

You take a drug, I take a sip
The singer and their protagonist have different methods of escape, but ultimately they're both trying to escape the reality of the situation

I want your legendary kiss
The singer desires the singer's attention and affection

You know I got designer taste
The artist has refined and expensive taste, indicating they are used to getting what they want

And your design's too good to waste
The artist is valuable and the artist wants to use them for their own purposes

When the beast comes out at night
The singer and protagonist turn into different people at night and things become dangerous

Yeah, it always wants a bite
The dangerous part of them, the beast, always wants to hurt others

And I try, try to the resist
The artist struggles internally and tries to resist their urges

But then the devil always wins, yeah
Despite their best efforts, the artist always gives in to their dark side

Time to close your eyes (close your eyes)
The chorus repeats, emphasizing that it's time for the artist to not look

Time to say goodnight
The singer knows that the situation has become dangerous and it's time to part ways

I feel it coming on
The artist senses the danger escalating

You've got nowhere to run
The singer is trapped and has no way to escape

There's no way you'll make it out alive
The situation has become life-threatening and the singer is warning the singer that they won't survive

I'm gonna eat your heart
The singer wants to completely consume the singer; a metaphor for how destructive they can be

Don't try to fight it, just close your eyes
The artist is emphasizing that resistance is futile and the only solution is to not look

Go on and say, say your last words
The artist wants the artist to have a chance to speak their mind before they die

Sometimes the best things kinda hurt
The situation is painful but the singer still sees value in it

'Cause this is real, it's unrehearsed
The singer is emphasizing that they're being their true selves and there's no script for what's happening

My final touch, your fatal curse, yeah
The artist sees their touch as the cause of the artist's downfall

Woo-ah
A vocalization that indicates strong emotion, perhaps excitement or fear

The song ends with repetitions of 'Close your eyes'
The artist is continuing to urge the artist to avoid looking and the song ends abruptly, leaving the listener unsure of what happens to the artist
