Open My Eyes
Ravenna Golden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz I just fell outta my bed
Waking up from a dream that I had
I can hear your voice in my head
And I feel the lights coming on
Open my eyes and you're gone
Open my eyes and you're gone
Staring at me through the frosted glass door
Hard to see me when you can't stand too close
Throwing bottles in the yard making noise
Light is bright so I covered my eyes
Breaking
Down like its a hobby
Laying face down
Please don't try to stop me
Well I guess it's morning again
Cuz I just fell outta my bed
Waking up from a dream that I had
I can hear your voice in my head
And I feel the lights coming on
Open my eyes and you're gone
Open my eyes and you're gone
Open my eyes and you're gone
Staring at you through a cracked dirty screen
Hard to hear you when it's not what I mean
Up the volume so you can't hear the noise
Turn the brightness down and cover your eyes
Lying
To myself and you
And I can't stop trying
Please don't tell me to
Well I guess it's morning again
Cuz I just fell outta my bed
Waking up from a dream that I had
I can hear your voice in my head
And I feel the lights coming on
Open my eyes and you're gone
Open my eyes and you're gone
Open my eyes and you're gone
The lyrics to Ravenna Golden's song "Open My Eyes" depict a sense of disorientation and confusion upon waking up from a dream. The singer realizes that the person they were dreaming about is no longer present in their life. The repeated line "Open my eyes and you're gone" emphasizes the sudden disappearance of this person. It evokes a feeling of loss and longing, as if the singer is desperately trying to hold on to the memory of this person.
The song also explores the idea of barriers and distance between the singer and the person they are longing for. The frosted glass door and cracked dirty screen symbolize the obstacles that prevent a clear connection. The singer tries to drown out the noise and shut out the distractions by turning up the volume and adjusting the brightness, but it only further isolates them from the desired intimacy.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's struggle with their own emotional state. They describe themselves as breaking down and lying, possibly to themselves and the person they miss. The line "Laying face down, please don't try to stop me" suggests a desire to avoid confrontation or vulnerability.
Overall, "Open My Eyes" delves into the complex emotions of longing, isolation, and self-deception. It portrays a sense of yearning for someone who is no longer present, and the challenges faced in trying to overcome the barriers that separate them.

Well I guess it's morning again
Another day has begun
Cuz I just fell outta my bed
I woke up suddenly
Waking up from a dream that I had
Transitioning from a dream to reality
I can hear your voice in my head
Your thoughts and words linger in my mind
And I feel the lights coming on
Awareness and clarity are emerging
Open my eyes and you're gone
When I open my eyes, you're no longer there
Open my eyes and you're gone
When I open my eyes, you're no longer there
Staring at me through the frosted glass door
You observe me from a distance
Hard to see me when you can't stand too close
It's difficult for you to understand me without proximity
Throwing bottles in the yard making noise
Creating disturbances and chaos
Light is bright so I covered my eyes
The brightness of truth is overwhelming, so I avoid it
Breaking
Falling apart
Down like its a hobby
Breaking down has become a regular occurrence
Laying face down
Feeling defeated and vulnerable
Please don't try to stop me
Please don't intervene or prevent my current state
Well I guess it's morning again
Another day has begun
Cuz I just fell outta my bed
I woke up suddenly
Waking up from a dream that I had
Transitioning from a dream to reality
I can hear your voice in my head
Your thoughts and words linger in my mind
And I feel the lights coming on
Awareness and clarity are emerging
Open my eyes and you're gone
When I open my eyes, you're no longer there
Open my eyes and you're gone
When I open my eyes, you're no longer there
Staring at you through a cracked dirty screen
Observing you through a distorted lens
Hard to hear you when it's not what I mean
It's challenging to understand you when your words are misunderstood
Up the volume so you can't hear the noise
Increasing the sound to drown out the distractions
Turn the brightness down and cover your eyes
Dimming the intensity and avoiding the truth
Lying
Deceiving others
To myself and you
Being dishonest with myself and you
And I can't stop trying
I'm unable to cease my efforts
Please don't tell me to
I don't want to hear your advice or criticism
Well I guess it's morning again
Another day has begun
Cuz I just fell outta my bed
I woke up suddenly
Waking up from a dream that I had
Transitioning from a dream to reality
I can hear your voice in my head
Your thoughts and words linger in my mind
And I feel the lights coming on
Awareness and clarity are emerging
Open my eyes and you're gone
When I open my eyes, you're no longer there
Open my eyes and you're gone
When I open my eyes, you're no longer there
