Open Your Eyes
YeLLOW Generation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just tryna find ya
I've been like a manic insomniac
5 steps behind you
Tell them other boys, they can hit the exit
Check please...
Cause I finally found the boy of... my dreams
Much more than a Grammy award
You could be my it girl
You're my greatest gift, girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You′re my biggest hit girl
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
You can′t help but turn them heads
Knockin' them dead
Dropping like flies around you
If I get your body close, not letting go
Hoping you′re about to
Tell them other guys they can lose your number
You're done!
They don′t get another shot cause you're... love drunk
Like a TV show playing reruns
Every chance I get
I′mma a turn you on
You could be my it boy
Baby you're the greatest gift, boy
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit boy
This is it
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it boy
You′re my biggest hit boy
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Can′t seem to stop you from... running, running
Through my, through my mind, mind
Just keep it coming, coming
Til I make you mine, mine
You've got that something, something
I wanna be with girl (I wanna be with boy)
You′re my greatest hit girl (You're my greatest hit boy)
Just say this is it girl...
Hey baby...
Don′t you know you're my it girl
You could be my it boy
You′re the greatest gift
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it
Cause you're my it girl
I just wanna rock all night long (all night long)
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it boy (You could be my it girl)
You′re my biggest hit boy
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
The lyrics of YeLLOW Generation's "Open Your Eyes" express the desire to find one's true love. The singer describes the effort they have put into finding their love, symbolized by looking under rocks and breaking locks. The urgency of this search is conveyed by the singer's insomnia and desperate attempt to catch up to the object of their affection who is always five steps ahead. The singer tells others they have no chance to win the affection of their love, as they have finally found the boy of their dreams. The singer uses hyperbolic language to emphasize how important this love is to them, going as far as to say that their love is worth more than a Grammy award.
The second part of the song switches to a female perspective describing the singer's desire to have a romantic relationship with a boy. The singer tells the boy that he is her "it boy" and how much she cares for him. The singer even suggests that loving this boy could be considered a crime due to the intensity of the feelings. The idea of the two being a perfect match is relatable to both genders, as the chorus concludes that the two are each other's biggest hits, and the other is the greatest gift. The song features a playful and upbeat melody, which complements the lyrics' romantic themes and hopeful message.
