Open Your Eyes
Midnattsol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open your eyes
Open your eyes and see
Open your ears
For the thing you fear
Reality
Your victims so insecure
Their faces so sour
But for all your crimes you will pay
Forever

My strength makes you weak
My unconditional love makes you weep
You raped my soul
But I'm unbreakable

All the times I trusted you
All the times I believed
that you would show your inner child
But no!
It's not right!

Acts of hate
kept in the earth like a seed
And until the end
you will carry it with you
The consequence
if you deny to reflect
So open your eyes




and face the thing you fear
Reality
