Close Your Eyes
Valley's Eve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which sounded beautiful
But the angels who had been singing them
Now turned into snakes
The mirror in your eyes
I can see you on the other side
The mirror in your eyes
You keep inside
They demand back their lost dreams
Corroding my heart step by step
I see the faces of death
Only one thought controls all the dying
The mirror in your eyes
I can see you on the other side
The mirror in your eyes
Tells me all your thoughts
You keep inside
I see a river with flowing blood
I have to hide myself in unknown places
I hear them screaming for me
You are a murderer
The mirror in your eyes
I can see you on the other side
The mirror in your eyes
Tells me all your thoughts
You keep inside
In the song "Close Your Eyes" by Valley's Eve, the singer portrays how music can be a double-edged sword. The song starts with the line "I have been a prisoner of melodies which sounded beautiful." This line suggests that the singer has been captivated by the music that they are listening to. However, the next line "But the angels who had been singing them now turned into snakes" shows the change in the vibes of the music. The beauty that the singer once felt is now replaced with fear and discomfort. It elucidates how music can be misleading and can transform someone's feelings into something that they did not expect.
The singer then says "They demand back their lost dreams, corroding my heart step by step." This line suggests that the music is taking something away from the singer, and it is slowly breaking them down. The singer sees "the faces of death," which could mean that they have lost something precious that they cannot get back. However, the line "Only one thought controls all the dying" shows that there is hope for the singer despite the grim thoughts and feelings they are facing.
The song also speaks about the ability of the eyes to reveal hidden thoughts and feelings. The recurring line "The mirror in your eyes, tells me all your thoughts, you keep inside" showcases how the eyes can reveal a person's innermost thoughts and emotions. The singer is using the metaphor of a mirror to express that someone's eyes can reflect their true feelings despite what they say or do. The intense emotion of the song shows how music can take control of someone's mind deeply, and someone could end up being in a dark place.

I have been a prisoner of melodies
I have been trapped by seemingly beautiful music
Which sounded beautiful
The music seemed lovely on the surface
But the angels who had been singing them
However, the supposed heavenly voices behind the music
Now turned into snakes
Have become sinister snakes
The mirror in your eyes
I can see myself reflected in your eyes
I can see you on the other side
I can see the real you beyond what you show the world
Tells me all your thoughts
Your eyes reveal the true emotions and thoughts you keep hidden
You keep inside
That you don't openly express
They demand back their lost dreams
These troubling thoughts keep calling me back
Corroding my heart step by step
The impact of these thoughts eats away at my soul
I see the faces of death
Visions of death keep haunting me
Only one thought controls all the dying
One pervasive thought is causing this painful experience
I see a river with flowing blood
I envision a horrifying scene of blood streaming through a river
I have to hide myself in unknown places
I must seek refuge in unfamiliar territories
I hear them screaming for me
I perceive voices yelling out to me
You are a murderer
Labeling me as a killer
