Eighteen
My Heart Belongs to Cecilia Winter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need some time alone
baby I need some time alone
baby I need some time with
eyelids closed
it's burning like the sun
you broke every heart in town
every every heart
we think about you all the time
we think about you all the time
we think about you
with eyelids closed
airplane
crash me on the mountainside
scatter my bones i wish to die
it's my wish to die tonight
I'll forgive all of your sins
you're not guilty anymore
blind and slow
with eyelids closed
eighteen
we think about you all the time
we think about you all the time
we think about you
with eyelids closed
The lyrics to "Eighteen" by My Heart Belongs to Cecilia Winter have a melancholic and reflective tone as the singer seeks some time alone to reflect on the hurt and pain caused by someone. The repeated line "eyelids closed" suggests a desire to shut off from the world and provides a motif for the song. The singer is hurting, and the lyrics suggest that someone has broken every heart in town, and that person is only eighteen years old. The lyrics build to a crescendo in the chorus, where we hear how they can't stop thinking about that person.
The second verse starts with a metaphor of an airplane crashing and the singer wanting to die. The lyrics offer the possibility of forgiveness and that the person is no longer guilty. The line "blind and slow with eyelids closed" describes how the singer cannot easily see the world and must take a more measured approach to life. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus and the idea that they are still thinking about that person "with eyelids closed."

@CrazyAverageFreak No way, maybe Velvet Underground mixed with a little bit Arcade Fire - but I can't here any "Kings of Leon" resemblance..
