The lyrics of The N.Y. Rel-X's song "Open Your Eyes" speak about the importance of being aware of one's environment and taking action to achieve one's goals. The song's repeated refrain, "Open your eyes," is a call to action for the listener to wake up and pay attention to the world around them. The song urges the listener to take control of their life and not waste time being complacent or inactive.
The lyrics also address the struggle of growing up in an urban environment and trying to make something of oneself. The line "Sigo en el barrio rodeao' de boys" (I'm still in the neighborhood surrounded by boys) acknowledges the challenges that come with living in a tough environment, but the song encourages people to push through and make something of themselves. The use of Spanish in the song adds an additional layer of cultural significance, as it speaks to the experiences of Latinx people living in urban environments.
