Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

keep your eyes
keep your eyes open
it ever starts
with a word strangely fall silent
keep your eyes open to this

keep your mind
keep your mind open when someone is top
give you monsters to eat
keep your mind
keep your mind open to this

and keep your heart
keep your heart open by traveling
wonders are waitin´ to happen soon
keep your heart open to this

dry your eyes
feel save now in my arms again
feel save back in my arms

keep your eyes
keep your eyes open
it ever starts
with a word strangely fall silent
keep your eyes open to this

keep your mind
keep your mind open when someone is top
give you monsters to eat
keep your mind
keep your mind open to this

so dry your eyes
there is no cloud in the sky
there is no cloud in the sky
so dry your eyes




feel save now in my arms again
feel save back in my arms

Overall Meaning

In the song "Travel" by Museum of Neurotic Origins, the lyrics urge the listener to remain open to the world around them. The opening lines "keep your eyes open, it ever starts with a word strangely fall silent" suggest that there is something important to be discovered, but it can only be found through attentive awareness. Similarly, "keep your mind open when someone is top give you monsters to eat" is a call to refrain from judgment or preconceptions, and instead to be receptive to new and potentially scary ideas. Finally, "keep your heart open by traveling wonders are waitin´ to happen soon" speaks to the importance of emotional openness as well - only by allowing oneself to feel can one truly experience the awe-inspiring wonder of the world. The final lines of the song, "there is no cloud in the sky, so dry your eyes, feel safe now in my arms again," suggest that this openness can be difficult and even painful, but ultimately leads to a sense of security and connection.


Overall, "Travel" seems to be advocating for a mindful and open approach to life. Rather than moving through the world with blinders on, the song encourages listeners to engage fully with their surroundings and with each other. This approach can be both exhilarating and overwhelming, as the lyrics acknowledge, but ultimately leads to a sense of safety and belonging.
