Wide Open
SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your world has made me a broken mess
How are we supposed to see
The pain that brings us to our knees
Feel the motion of the ocean
Just to see how the hate will flow
It is simple
Wide open let me show you more
In my home/Open wide, wide open
There is nothing I know
I'm open wide, wide open
Nothing can save your world
Nothing can share your world
Nothing can save our world
Got caught up in your madness
With every turn we end up less
See all the changing leaves
And how they change to what you please
Feel the motion of the ocean
Just to get a taste of pain
It is simple
Wide open let me show you more
This I know
Open wide, wide open
My feelings are cold
I'm open wide, wide open
Swirling sea of emptiness
I am your broken mess
Twisting for eternity
She's been twisting for you and me
Took a ride on your ocean
Just to get a taste of pain
Open wide/Open wide
Don't tell me I'm a newborn lover
The lyrics to "Wide Open" by SOiL deal with themes of pain, emptiness, and the inability to save the world. The swirling sea of emptiness represents the chaos and confusion that's prevalent in the world. The singer feels like a broken mess as a result of this chaos. He questions how people can see and deal with the pain that brings them to their knees. The chorus of the song is a plea for someone to be open to the singer, so he can show them more.
The second verse refers to the singer's experience of being caught up in someone else's madness. He feels like he's become less as time goes on. The changing leaves represent the way in which this person has changed and manipulated things to their own liking. The singer has been on a ride with this person and tasted the pain that comes with it.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a world filled with pain and chaos, where people are struggling to make sense of it all. The chorus is a plea for someone to open up, so the singer can show them more and hopefully find a way to make things better.
