Close Your Eyes
Roxanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels as if the sun will never come this way again
And all these days
You've been running like a river that is rushing to the edge and
You're falling in too deep
Close your eyes
I'll be here keeping guard by your side
And your dreams come to carry you
Far from sorrow
Close your eyes
I'll be here till the sunrise
I wish I could make them go away
All those shadows chasing you, but please don't be afraid
You'll break through, but all you need to do for now is rest
Here for awhile until tomorrow comes for you
Close your eyes
I'll be here keeping guard by your side
Till your worries are melting away
And your dreams come to carry you
Far from sorrow
Close your eyes
I'll be here till the sunrise
In time you'll find you're stronger then you ever knew you were
You can let go
Close your eyes
I'll be here keeping guard by your side
Till your worries are melting away
And your dreams come to carry you
Far from sorrow
Close your eyes
I'll be here till the sunrise
The song "Close Your Eyes" by Roxanna is a comforting ballad that speaks to listeners who are going through tough times. The first verse ("You say how your world is closing in…") talks about the feeling of hopelessness that can come with stress and depression. The metaphor of a river "rushing to the edge" suggests that the listener feels like they're on the brink of something dangerous or overwhelming.
However, the chorus ("Close your eyes, I'll be here keeping guard by your side…") reassures the listener that there's someone there to support them. The repetition of "close your eyes" implies that the listener can rest and trust that everything will be okay. The lines "Till your worries are melting away / And your dreams come to carry you / Far from sorrow" create a sense of escape from the problems the listener is facing.
The second verse ("I wish I could make them go away…") acknowledges that the support person can't solve all of the listener's problems, but can be a constant presence until tomorrow comes. The final lines ("In time you'll find you're stronger then you ever knew you were / You can let go") suggest that with support and time, the listener will be able to overcome their struggles and move forward.
Overall, "Close Your Eyes" is a message of hope and comfort to those facing difficult times. It suggests that while problems can feel overwhelming, there are people who care and support available to help.
Line by Line Meaning
You say how your world is closing in
You express that your surroundings are becoming suffocating
Feels as if the sun will never come this way again
It seems like the light and warmth in your life have vanished and won't return
And all these days
During this prolonged period of time
You've been running like a river that is rushing to the edge and
You've been in a state of constant movement, like a body of water cascading towards its end
You're falling in too deep
You've become engrossed in your troubles to the point of being overwhelmed
Close your eyes
Shut out the world and focus
I'll be here keeping guard by your side
I'll provide a sense of protection and guidance
Till your worries are melting away
Until you feel relief from the things that trouble you
And your dreams come to carry you
When your aspirations and hopes lift you up
Far from sorrow
Far away from sadness and pain
I wish I could make them go away
I wish I could remove your obstacles and troubles
All those shadows chasing you, but please don't be afraid
The negative thoughts and influences pursuing you, but don't be scared
You'll break through, but all you need to do for now is rest
You'll overcome your hardships, but take a momentary break for now
Here for awhile until tomorrow comes for you
I'll be here to support you until a new day arrives
In time you'll find you're stronger then you ever knew you were
Eventually you'll realize your own resilience and capabilities
You can let go
You can release any burdens and find peace
I'll be here keeping guard by your side
I'll stay vigilant beside you
Till your worries are melting away
Until your concerns dissolve
And your dreams come to carry you
And your aspirations lift you up
Far from sorrow
Far away from pain and sadness
Close your eyes
Block out everything else around you
I'll be here till the sunrise
I'll remain by your side until a new day begins
