Close Your Eyes
L’âme immortelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Embraced in somber darkness
Muted and blinded by desire
Thoughts flow into nothingness
The mortal shell burns on the pyre

Two bodies they float into one
The world around us fades
Like in the evening does the sun
In our small cascades

Close your eyes and come with me
Into my own reality
Where no chains do bind our souls
Where we can roam eternally

No fear does trap us in this hour
Nothing holds us back tonight
Come with me my fragile flower
March with me towards the light

Don't be shy, this little pain
Is just the price you have to pay




It's oh so small, for what you gain
These are the final words I say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Close Your Eyes” by L’âme immortelle depict a person who is in desire and is consumed by it. The person’s thoughts are lost in nothingness as they are embraced in somber darkness. The mortal shell burns on the pyre, which could be a metaphor for the person’s soul being consumed by the flames of desire. Nevertheless, the two bodies progress to become one, and the world around them fades, and time stops. It’s like they are the only two people existing in a world of their own, where no chains bind their souls and they can roam eternally.


The second verse gives further clarity to the idea of escaping reality by saying nothing holds them back tonight. The singer of the song invites his beloved to come with him towards the light despite the small pain they may have to go through to achieve eternal freedom. The word 'flower' in the song could be a term of endearment used to refer to the singer’s lover. It is evident that the singer wants his lover to follow him into his own reality where he can silence his desire and fulfilment. In conclusion, the song portrays a lover's desire for eternal escape from the real world.


Line by Line Meaning

Embraced in somber darkness
We are surrounded by darkness and sorrow


Muted and blinded by desire
Our desires have blinded us and made us numb


Thoughts flow into nothingness
Our thoughts are empty and meaningless


The mortal shell burns on the pyre
Our physical bodies are dying


Two bodies they float into one
Our souls become one


The world around us fades
The outside world no longer matters


Like in the evening does the sun
The fading of the outside world is similar to the end of a day


In our small cascades
We are in our own small world


Close your eyes and come with me
Let us escape together


Into my own reality
I will take you to a different world


Where no chains do bind our souls
We will be free from any restrictions


Where we can roam eternally
We can explore forever


No fear does trap us in this hour
We are not afraid of anything right now


Nothing holds us back tonight
We are free to do whatever we want


Come with me my fragile flower
I am here to guide and protect you


March with me towards the light
We will follow the light together


Don't be shy, this little pain
There may be some discomfort, but it is minor


Is just the price you have to pay
It is a small sacrifice for a greater reward


It's oh so small, for what you gain
The benefits outweigh the costs


These are the final words I say
This is my message to you
