Chandler Martin (guitar/vocals) was recording three solo songs ('Heartbeat Means Heartbreak', 'Close Your Eyes' and 'Waiting') in Matt's "studio." Shortly into the recording process they decided to add Zach Newhouse of Aria fame on the bass and form a band. The lineup stuck for a while until One Six parted ways with Zach and played a slew of shows as a two-some. A couple members and a few "demo" recordings later, the band solidified itself with Mike Garzon (of Near the Never fame) on guitar and Kurt Leuschner (also of Near the Never fame) on bass. The band ventured into the studio and created, "Words Fill Time," what would be One Six's only full-scale LP release. After extensive touring the band called it quits in the summer of 2004.

Close Your Eyes
One Six Conspiracy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As if I were behind these words can't come to mind
Wish that I could say exactly how I feel close your eyes
Go to sleep tonight I want to watch you dream close your eyes
And dream away dream the things you want to be as you lie right
Next to me close your eyes and dream away
And this perfect dream of you right beside me
In a different world but always on my mind

Overall Meaning

In the song "Close Your Eyes" by One Six Conspiracy, the artist expresses his feelings of not being able to find the right words to convey his emotions. He wishes he could express what he feels towards his partner, but instead he asks them to close their eyes and go to sleep, so he can watch them dream. He wants his partner to dream about the things they want to be and be happy. He then goes on to talk about his perfect dream of being in a different world with his partner, but that thought always stays on his mind. The artist is expressing his unconditional love for his partner and how he wants them to be happy, even if he cannot find the right words to express his feelings.

The artist’s use of metaphorical and symbolic language is prominent throughout the song. The phrase "close your eyes" is used several times as a symbol of letting go and surrendering to dreams. The dream is used as a metaphor for life in general, and how we all want to have control over our dreams and who we are as individuals. The idea of a perfect dream is used to represent the perfect relationship – a place where everything is ideal and nothing can go wrong. The lyrics of the song are therefore relatable to all those who have ever had a loved one or have experienced the idea of perfect connection and unconditional love.
