Open Your Eyes
The Platinum Pied Pipers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can you be so lost
You're still regretting the love you left, left behind
Oh darling, I've seen you go through a change
Sitting alone each night
Are you expecting to find a love, love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Girl you'll never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you think you're so wise
There are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass, pass me by
Oh darlin', there is a light that shines, special for you and me
You need to look at the other side
You'll agree
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you think you're so wise
You may never find a love that's right
My sisters and mothers
Keep your eyes up to the sky
Higher, higher, higher
In the Platinum Pied Pipers ft. Dwele (Bobby Caldwell)'s song Open Your Eyes, the lyrics describe the singer's attempts to help a lover who is feeling lonely and lost. The singer has observed their lover going through a change and regretting the love they left behind. He urges her to open her eyes and let him show her the light, saying that she may never find a love that's right if she doesn't. He promises to be by her side when she needs someone and believes that there is a light that shines special for them. The song ends with a call to keep one's eyes up to the sky, as if hoping for a divine intervention or guidance.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is trying to help a lover who is struggling with a breakup or a difficult life situation. The repetition of the phrase "Darling open your eyes / Let me show you the light" emphasizes the singer's insistence on wanting to help their lover see things differently. The line "Girl you think you're so wise" suggests that the lover may be resisting the help offered by the singer, perhaps due to pride or stubbornness. The reference to a light that shines special for them could be interpreted as a symbol of hope or positivity, as if the singer believes that there is a way out of the darkness the lover is experiencing.
