Close My Eyes
Momo Said Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to see your face
when ever i'm without you
i touch the ground
to feel the sound
of your beat
while is silence all around
is absent the truth
in everything you talk about
is absent the good
so what you've got to be proud
you smile and greet the youth
give 'em some guns to play around
excuseme,
where can i find some reality
i found my brothers
killing them other
no meaning i can see
drops falling in the fire
night is long but not with you
tears wet your face on fire
cool your mind, just not your look
i close me eyes
to see your face
when ever i'm without you
i touch the ground
to feel the sound
of your beat
while is silence all around
is present the truth
in every thing you talk about
would be present the good
so watching in your eyes i've no doubt this is
my loving for the youth
never whant to let them down
for straight not utopy i'm looking for
just i don't want to see you cry no more
and in my heart there's always place
for good minded people
biggest power's not a paper
within buy my freedom and yours
give value to your rights
and start stop strifes
in this strange game
that we call life
i close my eyes
to see your face
when ever i'm without you
i touch the ground
to feel the sound
of your beat
while is silence all around
well as long the time
i'm far from you
as big that feeling
wrapped me and you
many moons passed
your whole life spent
for some one do not deserve
your cure and pains
The lyrics to "Close My Eyes" by Momo Said speak to the longing and desire felt when separated from a loved one or significant other. The opening line, "I close my eyes to see your face when ever I'm without you," expresses the emotional depth of the singer's desire to visually imagine their partner even when they are physically apart. The next line, "I touch the ground to feel the sound of your beat while is silence all around," is a metaphorical device that represents the singer's ability to sense their partner's presence even when they are not physically there.
The song then goes on to address the idea of truth and good being absent in the world. The lines "is absent the truth in everything you talk about/ is absent the good, so what you've got to be proud" suggest a disappointment and disillusionment with society's values and actions. The singer also references the youth being given guns to play around, conveying a sense of hopelessness and disregard for human life.
Amidst this darkness, there is a hope for change and a yearning for a better world, as the lyrics suggest "give value to your rights/ and start stop strifes/ in this strange game that we call life." The song ends with a resolution to hold onto love, "I close my eyes to see your face when ever I'm without you/ I touch the ground to feel the sound of your beat while is silence all around," and to fight for a better world, "for straight not utopy I'm looking for, just I don't want to see you cry no more."

i close me eyes
I shut down my eyes
to see your face
To picture and imagine your countenance
when ever i'm without you
During the times you're not present
i touch the ground
I contact the earth
to feel the sound
To sense and understand your rhythm
of your beat
Of your musical tempo
while is silence all around
Even if there is complete quietness enveloping me
is absent the truth
The honesty isn't available
in everything you talk about
In everything you speak of
is absent the good
The moral righteousness is not present
so what you've got to be proud
Therefore, there is nothing to uphold
you smile and greet the youth
You grin and meet the younger demographic
give 'em some guns to play around
You give them weapons to use as amusement
excuseme,
Pardon me,
where can i find some reality
Where is actuality located?
i found my brothers
I found my companions
killing them other
Slaying and eliminating other people
no meaning i can see
I am unable to discern any significance
drops falling in the fire
Droplets cascading into the flames
night is long but not with you
The night seems to be incessant unless I am with you
tears wet your face on fire
Your tears stream down your face amid the flames
cool your mind, just not your look
Calm your thoughts, but do not quell your visual appearance
is present the truth
The genuineness exists
in every thing you talk about
In all of your conversations
would be present the good
The moral righteousness would exist
so watching in your eyes i've no doubt this is
Therefore, while observing your eyes, I am certain that this is the case
my loving for the youth
My endearment towards the younger demographic
never whant to let them down
I never intend to disappoint them
for straight not utopy i'm looking for
I am not searching for a utopia, only simplicity
just i don't want to see you cry no more
I simply do not want to witness your tears anymore
and in my heart there's always place
My heart constantly possesses room
for good minded people
For individuals who possess virtuous intentions
biggest power's not a paper
The most substantial power does not stem from money
within buy my freedom and yours
By buying my liberty, as well as yours
give value to your rights
Assign importance to your entitlements
and start stop strifes
Commence terminating the conflicts
in this strange game
In this peculiar existence
that we call life
That we label life
well as long the time
As long as the duration
i'm far from you
I am distant from you
as big that feeling
That feeling is as large
wrapped me and you
Encircling both of us
many moons passed
A lot of time has passed
your whole life spent
Your entire life invested
for some one do not deserve
For someone who does not merit it
your cure and pains
Your healing and struggles
