I Close My Eyes
The LOVE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Question your authority
Question everything that you've ever known
Will Iever close my eyes?
Will I never look to the sky?
Will I ever find the truth behind it all?
Eyes once looked so high
Now look straight ahead
I'll keep searching for the truth until you bury me
Is it all just make believe?
Filled with hypocrisy
Your way of life means nothing to me
Consumed with fallacy
Behind your pretend happiness
So what do you see?
Where's the life that's promised to me?
Will you answer me?
I want to see what is real
I want to believe.
These lyrics from The LOVE's song "I Close My Eyes" reflect a deep sense of skepticism and a longing for truth and meaning in a world that seems lost and empty. The singer is challenging societal norms, questioning authority, and urging others to do the same. They express a dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire to uncover the truth that lies beneath the surface.
In the first paragraph, the singer raises the fundamental questions of morality and authority. They encourage listeners to question everything they have ever known, suggesting that blind acceptance of societal norms may not lead to genuine understanding or fulfillment. By questioning, they hope to find their own path and discover a truth beyond what is presented to them by others.
The second paragraph emphasizes a personal struggle with disillusionment. The singer wonders if they will ever find clarity and meaning in their life. Their eyes, once full of hope and aspiration, now seem devoid of any higher purpose. They observe the heart growing cold in a world that appears lifeless. Despite this, they vow to continue searching for the truth, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being.
In the next paragraph, the singer criticizes those who embrace a shallow and hypocritical way of life. They see through the facade of pretend happiness and question the authenticity of such a lifestyle. The singer feels disconnected from the promises of life that have been made to them, and they demand answers. They want to see what is real, what truly matters, and they long to believe in something genuine and meaningful.
In the final paragraph, the singer's yearning for truth and belief becomes more evident. They express a deep desire to find something beyond the illusions and falsehoods that saturate their surroundings. By calling out the emptiness and hypocrisy present in society, they are seeking a way to break free and discover a reality that aligns with their own values and understanding.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment with the world and a relentless search for truth and authenticity. The singer urges listeners to question everything, challenging societal norms and their own preconceived notions. They long for a deeper understanding and seek to find meaning in a world that often seems hollow.

lyrics:
When we're out in a crowd laughing loud
And nobody knows why
When we're lost at a club, getting drunk
And you give me that smile
Going home in the back of a car
And your hand touches mine
When we're done making love
And you look up and give me those eyes
'Cause all of the small things that you do
Are what remind me why I fell for you
And when we're apart, and I'm missing you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
And the small things you do
When you call me at night while you're out
Getting high with your friends (high with your friends)
Every "hi", every "bye", every "I love you" you've ever said
(You've ever said)
'Cause all of the small things that you do
Are what remind me why I fell for you
And when we're apart, and I'm missing you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
And the small things you do
When we're done making love
And you look up and give me those eyes
'Cause all of the small things that you do
Are what remind me why I fell for you
And when we're apart, and I'm missing you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
And the small things you do
All the small things you do

The chorus reminds me of my dog Patch. He was my best friend, my only friend. Not a lot of people understood me and I didn’t have a whole lot of friends. He was also misunderstood people thought he wasn’t very smart. I’ll admit, he wasn’t. But brains didn’t mean anything, he had a big heart, a kind heart. I watched him grow from a week old puppy and saw him become a father three times. He was an amazing dad, he would play-fight with his pups all the time. He would do that thing where he purposely handicapped himself so they could keep playing that and he didn’t want to hurt them. He was a kind mate as well, I’ve never seen two dogs that visibly loved each other that much. Now Patch is gone, he would have been 9 this year. I guess making it to 8 years of age is impressive for any dog regardless.
But yeah, I remember the small things. The way he would run around all crazy when he was excited, how he loved jumping up in the air to catch a ball. I remember his beautiful brown eyes. And that bark, I miss it so much. It was so high pitched and squeaky, when he was alive I’d find it annoying sometimes. Now I would give anything to hear it again.
Don’t you worry Patch, I still have your last pup. I named him Charlie. He’s got a lot of his mom, but he has even more of you. He has your heart, he has your tail and your spots. He has your eyes.
No one will ever replace you Patch, but knowing that I still can hold you in my heart and memories helps. I haven’t visited your grave, but I definitely need to. Oh yeah, Charlie had his first birthday and what do you know? He found your old ball. I thought I’d lost it, but lo and behold he brought it up to me one day. He was thrilled when I threw it. It did remind me of you. I love you Patch. I always will. You were my best friend.
So fly high my friend. I hope you can get all the chicken bones you can eat and I hope you can finally catch that squirrel that tormented you all those days last autumn. I hope you find that perfect sunny spot to nap in and finally, don’t worry about Big’un and Charlie. I’m taking care of them. Big’un found one of your napping spots yesterday, she got all excited. I think she caught your scent and was looking for you. I could have cried, we both miss you a lot. Charlie is growing stronger every day, he’s becoming a good hunter too, you would be proud. He’s definitely going to do some squirrel catching of his own.
I love you Patch.

Aku berharap semoga dirimu membaca ini:
Aku tau ini semua salahku, Aku dihadapkan sebuah pilihan dimana sebenarnya kau dan orangtuaku bukanlah pilihan, aku minta maaf aku memilih cara lain untuk akhiri semua,
skrng lagu ini yg bisa tenangkan diriku yang masih selalu merasa bersalah “tidak kuat” perjuangkanmu. Sudah 2 tahun kita berpisah, banyak hal ku lalui namun semuanya tak pernah lepas dari pikiran tentangmu, bagaimana tidak 9 tahun kita bersama, tiap langkah, tiap jalan, dan sudut di kotaku terlihat samar2 jejak kaki kita berdua, dulu kita merasa hanya maut yg bisa pisahkan. Tapi tuhan berkata lain. Semoga dirimu bahagia disana. Wlwpun sekarang kita menjadi asing,
aku masih memperhatikanmu dari jauh. Aku masih khawatir denganmu, doaku masih untukmu, maafkan aku. Ku harap, dunia yg tak mampu satukan kita namun akhirat mungkin bisa sebaliknya.
Sekarang aku hanya bisa melanjutkan hidup. Tpi bukan untuk merasa hidup.

When we′re out in a crowd laughing loud
Et personne ne sait pourquoi
Quand on est perdu dans une boite, en train de se saouler
Et tu me donnes ce sourire
Rentrer à la maison à l'arrière d'une voiture
Et ta main touche la mienne
When we′re done making love
Et tu lèves les yeux et me donne ces yeux
Parce que toutes les petites choses que tu fais
Sont ce qui me rappelle pourquoi je suis tombé amoureux de toi
And when we're apart, and I′m missing you
Et tout ce que je vois, c'est toi et les petites choses que tu fais
Et les petites choses que tu fais
When you call me at night while you′re out
Me défonçant avec ses amis (haut avec tes amis)
Chaque "salut", chaque "au revoir", chaque "je t'aime" que tu as jamais dit
(You′ve ever said)
Parce que toutes les petites choses que tu fais
Sont ce qui me rappelle pourquoi je suis tombé amoureux de toi
And when we′re apart, and I'm missing you
Et tout ce que je vois, c'est toi et les petites choses que tu fais
Et les petites choses que tu fais
When we′re done making love
Et tu lèves les yeux et me donne ces yeux
Parce que toutes les petites choses que tu fais
Sont ce qui me rappelle pourquoi je suis tombé amoureux de toi
And when we're apart, and I′m missing you
Et tout ce que je vois, c'est toi et les petites choses que tu fais
And all I see is you and the small things you do
Toutes les petites choses que tu fais
