Metal band formed in Rome (IT) in 2008. The
band is composed of five members that started
their career with two Deathcore releases:
"Necropolis" (2011) and "Ashes" (2012). Thanks
to these full-length albums, POA started playing
on the best stages across Italy, along with
well-known bands such as Protest The Hero,
iwrestledabearonce, Texas in July, Vitja, Ade, etc.
In March 2015 the band released "EAS" EP,
with the participation of Tommaso Riccardi and
Veronica Bordacchini from Fleshgod Apocalypse.
After the last EP release the group decided to
make some important changes, starting from
the deathcore influences' reduction in favor
of more melodic ones, which can be found in
their video "Tears" (promoted by Rocksound and
Blubbermouth in March 2016), which can be
considered as a manifesto of the new path started by POA.
In April 2017 the band increased its fanbase
in Italy and all over the Europe thanks to the
publication of the new album "Deeper Than Hell",
the final result of this artistic change.
After their first European Tour, POA released its
new single "Disappear" in April 2018 on every
digital store.
In June 2019, POA released "Midnight" the
main single of their upcoming album "Stay"
The new album has been released in the 7th of
July 2019 in every digital store and it is a real
mixture between metal, rock, synthpop and
electronic and retrowave music.
Eyes Wide Shut
Plugs of Apocalypse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm under the shadow of your ghost
And I'm staying until is gone
I'm drowning under my skin in all the things that I've never told you
I'm diving in this misery that I always feel
And from here I'm watching my world burn
From here I'm feeling my love growing right here inside my guts
I'm laying down with my eyes wide shut
Pieces of my life fade away with you
I feel a weight on my chest I can't hold my breath anymore
I'm drowning under my skin in all the things that I've never told you
I'm diving in this misery that I always feel
And from here I'm watching my world burn
From here I'm watching the ash fall
From here I'm feeling my love growing right here inside my guts
I'm laying down with my eyes wide shut
I found myself in the dark and I'm feeling my love growing right here inside my guts
I'm laying down with my eyes wide shut
I feel it on my body
I feel it on my soul
I feel it in my heart
And I'm staying until is gone
And from here I'm watching my world burn
From here I'm watching the ash fall
From here I'm feeling my love growing right here inside my guts
I'm laying down with my eyes wide shut
The song, "Eyes Wide Shut" by Plugs of Apocalypse, speaks of a deep emotional pain that the singer is feeling. The lyrics express the feeling of being under the shadow of a ghost, symbolizing the lingering presence of a lost love that haunts the singer. They are unable to let go and are staying until that feeling is gone, even though it weighs heavily on their soul. The imagery of watching their world burn and the ash falling is a metaphor for the destruction of their world as they knew it, their heart and soul burning with pain.
The repetitive lines "I'm drowning under my skin in all the things that I've never told you" and "I'm diving in this misery that I always feel" emphasize the magnitude of pain that the singer is experiencing, which they have kept to themselves. The line "I found myself in the dark and I'm feeling my love growing right here inside my guts" suggests a realization that the love they have for their lost love is growing even deeper, despite the pain and darkness.
Overall, "Eyes Wide Shut" is a melancholic song that speaks of heartbreak and emotional turmoil that one cannot ignore, but must endure to move on.
