Open My Eyes
cambria detken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not ready, to love again
I've been broken
Run away
Still in misery
I cannot be healed that easily
Spirit free
Though I'm not sure how
Being me
Nothing better, than the way I do
There's no place for you
Open my eyes
Help me visualize what could be
I wonder will it make me happy
Make me realize
That this is a risk worth taking
And not a mistake we're making now
Can you try
To release me, and stop this chase
Please give me some space
Give me time
To make things clear, in this head of mine
Trust me I'll be fine
My heart has been bleeding
Long broken, still mending
Now, it's yours for the taking
Come save me from myself
These lyrics are from Cambria Detken's song, "Open My Eyes," which appears to be about heartbreak and the struggles of moving on. The first verse seems to convey the singer's reluctance to open up to love again, likely due to past experiences of being broken-hearted. The second verse shows that the singer has become stronger as a result of these experiences but also suggests that they are content living their life as it is, without any romantic attachments.
The chorus encapsulates the singer's internal struggle of whether or not to take a risk and open up their heart again. They question whether or not it will ultimately make them happy, but also acknowledge that there is a risk involved. The second half of the chorus seems to be a plea to someone to let them go and give them space to figure things out for themselves.
The final verse seems to illustrate the irony of love being a double-edged sword – it can cause intense pain and heartbreak but also have the power to heal. The singer acknowledges that their heart has been broken for a very long time and that the idea of opening themselves up to love again is terrifying. However, they are also willing to take the risk and let someone else into their life to help them heal.
Overall, "Open My Eyes" seems to be a deeply personal and introspective song about the difficulties of dealing with heartbreak and ultimately finding the courage to move on and open oneself up to the possibility of love again.
