Close Your Eyes
The Midnight Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close your eyes as it eats at us
Oh, eats at us
Let the daydream in your head become your life
Close your eyes while they scream for us
They scream at us
Hear the choirs in your head sing one last time

Don't you know when your eyes are closed,
You see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?
Don't you know when your eyes are closed,
You see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?

Close your eyes for the beating drum
The beating drum
Let the rhythm in your chest beat till you die
Close your eyes for the ones you love
The ones you love
Sing for your brothers and your sisters one last time

Don't you know when your eyes are closed,
You see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?
Don't you know when your eyes are closed,
You see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?

Close your eyes as it eats at us
Oh, eats at us
Just scream

(One, two, one two three four!)
Don't you know when your eyes are
Closed, you see the world from the clouds

Don't you know when your eyes are closed,
You see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?





Don't you know when your eyes are closed,
You see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Midnight Club's song Close Your Eyes seem to reflect the idea of escaping reality, even if it's just for a moment. The first verse encourages listeners to close their eyes and let their daydreams become their reality, as whatever's eating at them subsides. The second verse urges for the closing of eyes to tune into the rhythm of life and sing for loved ones one last time. The repetition of the chorus keeps drawing attention to the idea of seeing the world from a different perspective, one where everyone is equal, and all share the same sky.


The lyrics could be interpreted as a call to spend time within one's imagination, seeking peace amid stress or personal conflict. It could also be a plea to appreciate the world without any bias, as in when one is asleep or lost in thought without a care for trivial things like status or circumstance, we are all the same. There is also an element where the lyrics suggest using the time within one's thoughts to focus on the important things in life, such as spending time with loved ones and soaking in the present moment.
