Close Your Eyes
Rhodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fear it holds you
Just walk in like
Everybody knows you
You're not one to
See the signs
So hold your breath
Feel that shaking in the ground
Let your ears hear the sounds
Everyone's together in a vibe
Get your legs moving now
Now your brain is music bound
Everyone together gets you high
Double dutch
Rain drops
Running in your flip flops
Extra pair of clothes in the trunk
Really came clutch
Homie gave you free lunch
Chips hit that crisp crunch
Thank ya for the chips bruh
Solid day any way
Feeling like a holiday
Bouncy mood make it stay
Thank the groove let it play
No news sound proof
Your crew gassing you
Pass the aux play it dude
Breathe is heavy
Fear it holds you
Just walk in like
Everybody knows you
You're not one to
See the signs
So hold your breath
Take a step and close your eyes
In Rhodes's song "Close Your Eyes," the lyrics tell a story of a relationship between two people who are facing different types of mortality. The first verse portrays a sense of fear and uncertainty, where the persona imagines what it must be like for their partner to know that they are going to die. However, the second part of the verse shows how the singer's perspective is different. The only thing that scares them is the presence they see in their partner's eyes, which may indicate a type of betrayal or deception.
The second verse, which opens with a description of the physical attributes of his partner such as her hair and teeth, reveals a deeper level of concern. Now, the relationship itself is what is disturbing. There is a sense of unease between the two of them, and the persona cannot help but see it in his partner's eyes. Despite this, the chorus presents a declaration of love and the realization that despite life’s struggles, they still have time together.
The last verse is a confirmation of the love that they have for each other. It's unclear what is happening, but the ground swells below the persona and they hold their partner's hand tightly. The final chorus brings a conclusion to the internal struggle, as they present love as the most important thing that they have in a world that seems uncertain and full of battle.
Line by Line Meaning
Well I guess it must be scary
I understand, it must be frightening
To know you're going to die
To be certain of your own death
But the only thing that scares me, baby
But what truly terrifies me, my love
Is there in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
Lies within your gaze, your gaze, your gaze
And your hair is quite perturbing
Although your hair is unsettling
And your teeth are sharp as knives
And your teeth are as sharp as blades
But the thing I find disturbing, darling
What I truly find unsettling, my love
Is there in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
Resides in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
But then we both know
But we both understand
What it's like to be so alone
The feeling of intense loneliness
Love, we've still got time, they stole your life
My love, we still have time, even though they took away your life
But I've still got mine
But I still have my own life
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
Within your gaze, your gaze, your gaze
The ground it swells below me
The earth rises beneath me
As I'm rushing through the sky
As I swiftly move through the air
And I grip your hand so tightly, sweetheart
And I hold onto your hand with great force, my love
And stare in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
And gaze into your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
But then we can't know
But we will never understand
What it's like to feel at all
The sensation of emotions
In your eyes, in your almond eyes
Within your almond-shaped eyes
In your boots, in your boots
In your footwear
In your shoulder padded '80s power suits
In your suits from the 80s with large shoulder pads
In your ties, in the colleagues you despise
In your ties and the coworkers you detest
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
Within your gaze, your gaze, your gaze

[Verse 1]
Maybe I, maybe I
Am just as scared as you
It's alright
Stay by my side
On the edge, on the edge
Of everything we know
It's alright
Just don't look down
[Pre-Chorus]
And I will hold on
[Chorus]
And never let go
You're right beside me
So just close your eyes
I'll never let go
You're all that I need
So just close your eyes
[Verse 2]
When I look back, I look back
On the times you tried to hide
Inside your delicate mind
In the end, in the end
I'm just the same as you
And it's alright
Just stay by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
And I will hold on
[Chorus]
And never let go
You're right beside me
So just close your eyes
I'll never let go
You're all that I need
So just close your eyes
[Bridge]
I would die for
I would die for this
So get in my heart
I would die for
I would die for this
So get in my heart
So just close your eyes
So just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
[Chorus]
And never let go
You're right beside me
So just close your eyes
I'll never let go
You're all that I need
So just close your eyes

Maybe I, maybe I, I'm just as scared as you
It's alright, stay by my side
On the edge, on the edge of everything we learn
It's alright, just don't look down,

I look back on the times you tried to hide
Inside your delicate mind
In the end, in the end I'm just the same as you
And it's alright, just stay by my side
And I will hold on
I'll never let go
