Shut Your Eyes
Shout Out Louds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I want to go but if I'll cry cry cry I won't
So I'll die die die no I won't
I want to know so please say it isn't so
It's now and we're too late there's no time for a debate
But if you swear you'll never leave
I promise you I will be the one who stays there all along
And it came as a big surprise ha ha
Stay true and don't give up we're only started now so please stay up
But if I'll shout shout shout my name
You will always remember my name
I want to know so please say it is so
The lyrics to Shut Your Eyes by Shout Out Louds are about a person who is ready to take a risk and make a move, but is afraid of facing the consequences of their actions. The person wants to be told that everything will be okay and the risk is worth taking. They are urging the other person to say 'yes' and not 'no'.
The song suggests that there is no time for a debate as the situation is pressing and calls for immediate action. However, the person is still hesitant and needs reassurances that they are not alone. The lines "But if you swear you'll never leave / I promise you I will be the one who stays there all along" suggest that the person needs someone by their side for support and stability.
The chorus of the song "So shut shut shut your eyes it sounds so good right now" is a metaphor for the person wanting to overcome their fears and take the chance. They want to shut their eyes to the reality of the situation and let go of their fears. In the end, they want to know the truth about the situation, so there are no surprises down the line.
Overall, the song deals with the dilemma of taking risks and the need for reassurance and support from others. The lyrics are open to interpretation and can apply to different situations where the person is faced with the decision to take a chance or not.
