Open Your Eyes
Starlito Don Trip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It says I'm never there and our relationships a ghost
Seeing as I'm fresh to death that shit should come of no surprise
I can see shes growing tired of tryin' to swim against the tide
And I ain't got no feelings its as if I was paralyzed
And all she seems to hear from me lately is alibis
But she's so in love with me I canht imagine why
I'm paid but her heart's the one thing you can't bribe
I would apologize but my pride's too oversized for me to swallow it
Gotta check your dial the time is now for us to call it quits
You hurt so I'll excuse you while you talkin' shit and tossing shit
Gotta duck like a nigga play for Iraq
And rewind it up divide it like a pint of Neapolitan
Although they say we all scream for ice cream
I shoulda done more than buy you nice things
[Chorus]
Tell me will you ever wake up
Will you ever see
That this is where I wanna be
Do anything for you except bleed
Even when it was hard for me
Kept holdin' on when I wanted to let go
All your secrets safe with me I'll never tell a soul
Just can't figure out why I can never tell you no
Say you love me but you never let it show
So I guess I'll never know
Alarm clock snooze button waking up wit whose woman
Not mine lately I been prayin' I can stop lyin'
'Cause last time wasn't the last time she couldn't stop cryin'
Livin' out a part grind my girlfriend my glock 9
But all I need in this life of sin is more money than I can spend
And her callin' like where you been
And me replyin' grinding babe sorry I ain't make no time today
But look I'm doin' fine let me catch this other line okay
You understand that understand me fuck them side hoes ain't no plan b
Ain't no plan b pills unplanned parenting apparently I ain't found her yet where is she
Lookin' for her like future got me lookin' forward to my future
Wifey no baby mama throwin' rice no Benny Hanas
Lookin' for a pretty woman with the wisdom of my grand mama
I'm trippin' kinda sound like I'm dreamin' don't it
[Chorus]
Tell me will you ever wake up
Will you ever see
That this is where I wanna be
Do anything for you except bleed
Even when it was hard for me
Kept holdin' on when I wanted to let go
All your secrets safe with me I'll never tell a soul
Just can't figure out why I can never tell you no
Say you love me but you never let it show
So I guess I'll never know
In Starlito Don Trip's song Open Your Eyes, the lyrics reveal a man who is struggling to maintain a relationship with his partner. The couple is constantly fighting, and his partner is growing tired of trying to make things work. He acknowledges that he hasn't been there for her, and she is left feeling neglected and alone. He tries to apologize, but his pride gets in the way, and he finds it hard to swallow his faults. The man is focused on his money and success, believing that it's all he needs to be happy, but he realizes that he's wrong. He wants to find true love, and he's searching for a partner who will love him unconditionally, like his Grandmama.
The chorus is a plea to his partner to wake up and see that he wants to be with her. He's willing to do anything for her, except bleed, but he wants her to show him that she loves him more. She holds secrets that she's not willing to share with anyone, and he's left wondering why she can never tell him no. He wants her to know that he loves her, but he just doesn't know how to show it. The song's title, Open Your Eyes, can be interpreted as a plea for the couple to see things from each other's perspective and to find a way to bridge their differences.
The song uses metaphors to express the emotions of the couple. The idea of swimming against the tide represents the partner's struggle to keep the relationship afloat. The man's comparison to a paralyzed person suggests that he's unable to feel or express his emotions, while his reference to the pint of Neapolitan ice cream divides the emotions between two people. Finally, the line "I'm trippin' kinda sound like I'm dreamin' don't it" suggests that the man is starting to realize that he needs to make changes in his life, but he's not sure how to do it.
Line by Line Meaning
Skimmin' through this letter that she wrote
Reading through the letter she wrote
It says I'm never there and our relationships a ghost
The letter says that I'm always absent and our relationship is fading away
Seeing as I'm fresh to death that shit should come of no surprise
Since I always look good, she should have expected me to be absent and distant
I can see shes growing tired of tryin' to swim against the tide
She's getting exhausted from trying to make things work between us
And I ain't got no feelings its as if I was paralyzed
I don't have any emotions, it's as if I can't feel anything
And all she seems to hear from me lately is alibis
Recently, all I've been giving her are excuses instead of actually being there for her
But she's so in love with me I canht imagine why
She loves me so much, but I don't understand why
I'm paid but her heart's the one thing you can't bribe
I have money, but her heart can't be bought
So we goin' back and forth with all the arguments
We keep arguing back and forth
I would apologize but my pride's too oversized for me to swallow it
I should apologize, but my pride is too big for me to admit I'm wrong
Gotta check your dial the time is now for us to call it quits
We need to end things now
You hurt so I'll excuse you while you talkin' shit and tossing shit
You're hurt, so I'll let you talk and throw things around
Gotta duck like a nigga play for Iraq
I need to avoid getting hit like I'm playing in a war zone
And rewind it up divide it like a pint of Neapolitan
Restarting the argument but it's like dividing a pint of three different ice cream flavors
Although they say we all scream for ice cream
Even though everyone loves ice cream
I shoulda done more than buy you nice things
I should have done more than just buy you gifts
[Chorus] Tell me will you ever wake up
Asking if she'll ever realize the truth
Will you ever see
Will she ever understand
That this is where I wanna be
This is where I want to be with her
Do anything for you except bleed
I'll do anything for her except risk my life for her
Even when it was hard for me
Even when it was difficult for me
Kept holdin' on when I wanted to let go
I held on even when I wanted to give up
All your secrets safe with me I'll never tell a soul
I'll keep all her secrets and never tell anyone
Just can't figure out why I can never tell you no
I don't know why I can't say no to her
Say you love me but you never let it show
She says she loves me, but she never shows it
So I guess I'll never know
So I'll never know for sure
Alarm clock snooze button waking up wit whose woman
I wake up and wonder whose woman is next to me
Not mine lately I been prayin' I can stop lyin'
Not my girlfriend lately, I've been hoping to stop lying
'Cause last time wasn't the last time she couldn't stop cryin'
Because the last time I cheated on her wasn't the last time she cried about it
Livin' out a part grind my girlfriend my glock 9
Going through life with my girlfriend and my gun
But all I need in this life of sin is more money than I can spend
In this sinful life, all I need is more money than I could spend
And her callin' like where you been
She calls me and asks where I've been
And me replyin' grinding babe sorry I ain't make no time today
And I reply saying I was busy and didn't have time for her
But look I'm doin' fine let me catch this other line okay
But I'm doing well, let me answer this other call
You understand that understand me fuck them side hoes ain't no plan b
You need to understand me, forget about any other women, there's no other option for me
Ain't no plan b pills unplanned parenting apparently I ain't found her yet where is she
There's no backup plan if I have a child and I still haven't found the right woman
Lookin' for her like future got me lookin' forward to my future
Searching for the woman of my dreams and looking forward to my future
Wifey no baby mama throwin' rice no Benny Hanas
I want a wife, not just a baby mama; a simple wedding, not anything extravagant
Lookin' for a pretty woman with the wisdom of my grand mama
Searching for an attractive woman who has the wisdom of my grandmother
I'm trippin' kinda sound like I'm dreamin' don't it
I'm tripping and it sounds like I'm dreaming, doesn't it?
