Wide Open
SOiL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swirling sea of emptiness
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
