Robin & The New Revolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Face looking unforgettably thirty subtleties finally, I'm the one doing the most
Blaxk jacket for the temperature I do this on the regular can't stand you
in my sight
Everyones a fuxking sxavenger, chillin with some amateurs, darkness covers the night
Still seeming fuxking practical, outfit tactixal, please just give me some space
Heavy truth spits axtual, I'm a new animal, triple loxked up in my cage
Eating barz like a cannibal, anthem still national, smoke clears up in my lungs
Blaxk wraps in my backpaxk
Young boy stuck in a rat trap
Ghost in the woods like a lumberjack
Frontin that shit now don't give me that
Triple my 4ours on my soundtrack
Blaxk coupe got a lot a kixkbaxk
White out my eyes like a cataraxt
Wont sell my soul like an artifaxt
The lyrics of "Eyes Wide Open" by Robin & The New Revolution delve deep into themes of self-identity, rebellion, and the complexities of navigating through a world filled with deception and greed. The opening lines, "Switchin' up on the company, wolfs looking hungrily, 40 miles on the f**king coast," paint a picture of someone who is constantly evolving and adapting to their surroundings, while being aware of the predatory nature of those around them. The mention of the "40 miles on the coast" adds a sense of distance and detachment from the mainstream society, suggesting a longing for escape or solitude.
The references to a "black jacket for the temperature" and being "chillin with some amateurs" hint at a sense of superiority and detachment from the crowd. The singer seems to be unapologetically confident in their individuality and unique style, refusing to conform to societal standards. The line "Triple locked up in my cage" could signify a metaphorical imprisonment or feeling of being restricted by society's expectations and norms, yet the singer remains defiant and unyielding in their ways.
The aggressive imagery of "Eating bars like a cannibal, anthem still national, smoke clears up in my lungs" portrays a sense of rebellion and defiance against a system that seeks to control and confine them. The singer asserts their independence and refuses to be silenced, condemning the falsehoods perpetuated by mass media and mainstream culture. The juxtaposition of darkness and light, black and white, further highlights the internal struggle and conflict within the singer as they resist being engulfed by the prevailing influences.
The closing lines, "Won't sell my soul like an artifact," encapsulate the central theme of the song - a refusal to compromise one's values and integrity for the sake of conformity or acceptance. The singer stands firm in their beliefs and principles, determined to carve their own path and define their own identity, even if it means being misunderstood or marginalized by society. The defiance and resilience captured in the lyrics of "Eyes Wide Open" serve as a powerful anthem for those who choose to see the world through a critical lens and refuse to be swayed by the illusions of the prevailing culture.

Switxhin' up on the company, wolfs looking hungrily, 40 miles on the fuxking coast
Changing my surroundings, seeing people's true intentions, and navigating through challenges with determination
Face looking unforgettably thirty subtleties finally, I'm the one doing the most
Showing composure despite facing numerous obstacles and taking on the most responsibility
Blaxk jacket for the temperature I do this on the regular can't stand you in my sight
Wearing protective gear as a habit to shield myself from negative influences
Everyones a fuxking sxavenger, chillin with some amateurs, darkness covers the night
Surrounded by opportunists but maintaining my composure even in challenging situations
Still seeming fuxking practical, outfit tactixal, please just give me some space
Maintaining a practical approach to my endeavors and needing personal space to focus
Heavy truth spits axtual, I'm a new animal, triple loxked up in my cage
Speaking raw and honest truths, embracing change and growth despite feeling constrained
Eating barz like a cannibal, anthem still national, smoke clears up in my lungs
Consuming knowledge voraciously, representing my nation proudly, and finding clarity amidst chaos
Evidence still factual, television laughable, still cutting off your tongues
Presenting undeniable proof, finding entertainment in trivial media, and silencing detractors
Blaxk wraps in my backpaxk
Carrying my burdens with me
Young boy stuck in a rat trap
Feeling trapped in a difficult situation
Ghost in the woods like a lumberjack
Navigating through challenges like a shadowy figure in the forest
Frontin that shit now don't give me that
Refusing to be deceived by false appearances
Triple my 4ours on my soundtrack
Amplifying my message through my music
Blaxk coupe got a lot a kixkbaxk
My stylish car has a lot of power
White out my eyes like a cataraxt
Blocking out distractions to focus clearly
Wont sell my soul like an artifaxt
Refusing to compromise my values for material gains
