Close Your Eyes
Silence feat. Rimb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Come with me, the angel will lead you)
When you building yourself up, like a strong man
Like someone who hold the faith, like someone who hold the world
Then every wrong move you make, can't be blamed on me
You say you are a king, then just face the truth!
Maybe you should stop and take a look at yourself
Why do everyone leave you, if you're so perfect and true
You will not get far, on your high horse you will be one thing alone!
For god's sake just open your eyes
You are just the king of the lies
Come with me I'll show you the truth
The angel will lead you
If you look close enough you can break yourself
A new angle really brings out the worst in you
The darkness inside that will tear you apart
Could be defeated by kindness and a humble heart
For god's sake just open your eyes
You are just the king of the lies
Come with me I'll show you the truth
The angel will lead you
Don't cry over all hurt you've cost
Climb down from your high horse
Open your mind and your heart
The angel will lead you
See the angel will lead you
See the angel will lead you
