Close My Eyes Forever
Ozzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy?
Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave?

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same

I know I've been so hard on you, I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes





If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

Overall Meaning

Ozzy Osbourne's song "Close My Eyes Forever" is a ballad duet that was released in 1989. The song is a collaboration between Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford, with both artists sharing vocal duties.

The second verse paints a picture of the complexity of the relationship, using the metaphor of a dagger piercing the singer's heart.

Line by Line Meaning

Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
I feel a deep fear and confusion, unsure if my feelings are rooted in love or fantasy


Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you
I hold something special and sacred, ready to share with you


What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?
I'm grappling with the pain and damage caused by events long ago


Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
Maintaining hope and keeping my dreams alive can be incredibly difficult


It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
My true emotions may not be clear when we interact directly


You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heart
You hurt me deeply and cause me emotional pain


And taste the blood from my blade
You revel in causing me harm and feeding off of my negative emotions


And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave?
Even in the afterlife, I want to be with you and find comfort


Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain
I am unsure if I can handle the pain and hurt of being with you


Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same
I doubt that you will ever regain my trust or that things will ever be the same between us


I know I've been so hard on you; I know I've told you lies
I acknowledge that I have caused you harm and lied to you in the past


If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
If I could only have one wish, I would want to see things clearly and without any illusions or distortions


If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I were to cease my existence, would everything remain the same?


If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
If I were to die, would everything around me stay the same?
