2. Boston-based ambient sludge metal band. The band combines a wide variety of influences, creating a style of post-metal that fuses the melancholy and melody of bands like Cult of Luna and Katatonia with massive, crushing riffs and a sense of urgency hinting at their roots in hardcore and sludge (ala Crowbar, Will Haven, Coalesce, etc).

Close Your Eyes
Voyager Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time, they say that it heals all the wounds

And they say it will be over soon
But the lines on my face are a sign of the times

They make scars on your heart disappear
They pretend that there's hope and no fear
They are trying to cover the face of the times

I'm standing here
I'm standing here
I'm faced with careless ego stares

I try to wash away the lines of life

Close, close your eyes
Close, close your eyes

I can now see your pain

In your imagination
I can now see the strain
and your exasperation

I can now see all your grief
And your devolution

I cannot see relief
In your absolution

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Voyager's song "Close Your Eyes" are reflective and introspective about the impact of time on one's emotional state. The song starts with the belief that time heals all wounds, but quickly moves on to point out that despite what people may say, the lines on the singer's face tell a different story. The lines are symbolic of the scars that time leaves on one's heart, and while they may disappear over time, they are not easily forgotten. The lyrics hint at a sense of hopelessness and fear that permeates through life, with society attempting to cover up the underlying problems that time can create.

The second half of the song shifts to an empathetic tone, with the singer recognising and seeing the pain and strain of others. The lyrics are confrontational, challenging listeners to face their own demons and move towards absolution despite the odds. "Close Your Eyes" is a song that speaks to the idea that whilst time may heal some wounds, it doesn't offer a panacea to all problems, and thus recognising and confronting them head-on is one way to start the journey towards recovery.
