Eyes Wide Shut
PhaseOne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it ignorant bliss
Or am I just sick?
Two fates sealed with a switchblade twist
You're coming undone so quick
My eyes wide shut coz if i blink then I'll miss it
A sign of the times or something that I said?
I must've missed it all along the way..
If I'm your saviour how can I be saved?
The weight of the world's crashing over me
Am I insane because I need the pain?
I can't feel a thing til my bones break
Til my bones break
I keep pushing it further and further within..
No one can see, where I can't feel a thing
What if this happens again and again..
And I slowly grasp onto my skin
Lonely bones underneath
A holy ghost to believe me
Will you believe when I'm covered in concrete?
Six feet deep
Well if I'm your saviour how can I be saved?
The weight of the world's crashing over me
Am I insane because I need the pain?
I can't feel a thing til my bones break
I can't feel a thing til my bones break
The lyrics to PhaseOne's song "Eyes Wide Shut" depict a sense of inner turmoil and struggle. The singer seems to be grappling with conflicting emotions and questioning their own state of mind. The opening lines, "Six feet deep / Is it ignorant bliss / Or am I just sick?" suggest a deep sense of introspection and contemplation. The singer wonders if their lack of awareness or understanding is a result of ignorance or if there is something inherently wrong with them.
The lyrics continue with the line, "Two fates sealed with a switchblade twist / You're coming undone so quick," which alludes to a relationship or situation that has taken a destructive turn. The singer recognizes the rapid deterioration but feels powerless to prevent it. The following line, "My eyes wide shut coz if i blink then I'll miss it," reveals a sense of urgency and the fear of missing out on crucial information or moments.
The second verse delves into the sense of confusion and self-doubt the singer experiences. They question if they missed warning signs or if there was something they said or did to contribute to their current state. The line, "If I'm your saviour how can I be saved?" suggests a paradoxical role reversal, where the singer, who may have once been a source of support or salvation, now finds themselves in need of saving. This notion is further emphasized by the weight of the world crashing over them and the need for pain to feel something.
The chorus repeats the idea of not being able to feel anything until their bones break, implying a longing for an extreme experience or a breaking point to regain a sense of sensation. The bridge delves into the singer's isolation and the fear of being trapped beneath the surface, covered in concrete. The final repetition of "I can't feel a thing til my bones break" reinforces their craving for intensity and release from emotional numbness.
Overall, "Eyes Wide Shut" showcases a complex internal struggle and the search for meaning and connection amidst confusion and pain.
