Open Your Eyes
Marshall Jefferson & Truth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round and round in my mind.
Forget the weather, we should always be together.
Any other thought is unkind.
To have you with me, I would swim the seven seas
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together, We'll be together
We'll be together
Ah I see you with me, and all I want to be
Is dancing here with you in my arms
Forget the weather, we should always be together
I'll always be a slave to your charms
To have you with me, I would swim the seven seas
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together, we'll be together tonight
We'll be together, We'll be together
We'll be together
Call me baby
You can call me anything you want
Call me baby Call me, call me Ow!
I see you with me and baby makes three
I see me with you and all the things we do
Forget the weather, we should always be together
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together, we'll be together tonight
We'll be together,
Together, we'll be together
We'll be together
We'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
Together, we'll be together tonight
The lyrics of Marshall Jefferson's "Open Our Eyes" express a deep desire for love and companionship. The singer sees themselves and their love interest together in their mind, and they want to forget everything else and only be focused on each other. They are willing to go to great lengths to be with their partner, even swimming across the seven seas. They describe their love as a flame burning in the name of their partner, and they want to be with them tonight and always.
The overall message of the song is that two people in love should be together no matter what, ignoring everything else and focusing only on each other. The reference to the "seven seas" emphasizes the depth of the singer's commitment to their partner, and the repeated line "we'll be together" reinforces the idea that love conquers all.

A prayer,
The sounds of house,
The promotion of self awareness, and understanding.
This track,
Back then,
Now... on my kitchen bass system,
And in the future,
Is as much of a revelation today,
As it ever has been.
Wether your swaying, full of your chosen vice, or even just full of genuine love, under the lights, on the floor,
Or, on someones couch, smoking, eyes closed in contemplation,
Or,
In the woods, really tripping,....
All these things are relative to the understanding and inner peace this classic deep house groover brings.
Man we're lucky to have had, and continue to own this,
And all its comparative deep acid stablemates.
This movement will never be repeated.

We were smashing it in london at that time doing the same mate. Went every weekend to Black market records in London to buy imported records that would come in from NYC and Chicago that week. Went home to play them and then off to the warehouse raves to dance til dawn. I'm 53 this year. Peace!!!
