Christine Closed Her Eyes
The Dogma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bleed all your tears
In your heart
You fell away
Like the winter's rain
In the night
Where is the place you dream?
Just a hole in you
Christine
Closed her eyes tonight
The world...
The world she couldn't hide
No...Nobody knew
Their souls are full
Full of lies
Where is the girl I knew?
Where is the place you dream?
Just a hole in you
Christine
Closed her eyes tonight
The world...
The world she couldn't hide
Christine
Lost her frozen tears
In her eyes
Just sorrows and fears
Girl
So now you're gone
You left me alone
Without your smile
Please
Come back to me
You killed my dreams
Tomorrow's gone
The Dogma's song "Christine Closed Her Eyes" depicts a woman who is going through immense emotional turmoil. The title of the song plays a significant role in conveying the theme of the song with full force, which focuses on the character of Christine. The opening lyrics, "Dance with your fears, Bleed all your tears in your heart," suggests that Christine is struggling with her fears and emotions. She tries to mask her pain by weeping alone, and her heart is the only place that has seen all of her tears. The following lines, "You fell away like the winter's rain in the night," implies the departure of someone close to her, perhaps her lover, who left her in despair just as the winter rain dissipates darkness.
The chorus of the song, "Christine, closed her eyes tonight, the world, the world, she couldn't hide," suggests the mental state of Christine, who is unable to cope with the harsh realities of her life. The next lines, "nobody knew, their souls are full of lies," emphasizes that even those who were closest to her didn't know the real Christine and that people are often not what they appear to be. Through this, the song explores the theme of complete isolation, where Christine has drifted away from everyone and has hidden herself in her own world. The last verse has a plea from the person who knew Christine, "girl, so now you're gone, you left me alone, without your smile, please come back to me, you killed my dreams, tomorrow's gone," indicating a sense of loss, grief, and regret.
