Don't be surprised that they're carved in stone
I never thought we'd come undone
Till I learned you can't trust anyone
Oh!
It's times like these that I gave in
You're getting under my skin
I think I'm out of my mind
Because I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here
You keep ignoring the past
On your knees like a b***h and you keep crawling back
It's a waste of my time
'Cause I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here blind
Chorus:
I closed my eyes ignoring the circumstance
It's so clear, you were never there
And I can't pretend there's nothing wrong
When you loved me in your messed up ways
Well it's not enough for me to stay
Games that you play
Don't be surprised when you're all alone
You better hurry up, get goin'
'Cause honestly you think I'm jokin'
There's no hope for tomorrow
It's a lesson learned, so I let you go
And I'll bury your name
'Cause I can't live off the happiness of better days
Chorus:
I closed my eyes ignoring the circumstance
It's so clear, you were never there
And I can't pretend there's nothing wrong
When you loved me in your messed up ways
Well it's not enough for me to stay
Why can't you face me?
Well you got the best of me!
Well you got the best of me!
I tried to forget you but baby you were my perfect disease
Was it all a dream?
You can't seem to disagree
Well I wish I'd never let you get to see this side of me
Here's another story for your eyes to finally see
What will never be, we'll never be
Watch me walk away
I gave you everything and now I'm so numb
'Cause I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here blind
I gave you everything and now I'm so numb
'Cause I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here blind
I gave you everything
I gave you everything
I gave you everything
I'm so numb.
The song "Eyes Wide Shut" by Conquer Divide is a powerful expression of the pain and hurt caused by a failed relationship. The opening lines, "Mistakes that you made, don't be surprised that they're carved in stone," speak to the idea of unchanging consequences for actions. The singer then expresses surprise at the breakup, as they "never thought we'd come undone." However, they've learned a hard lesson: "you can't trust anyone."
The chorus emphasizes this point, with the lines "I closed my eyes ignoring the circumstance, it's so clear, you were never there." The singer acknowledges that the other person loved them, but it was in "messed up ways" that were not enough to sustain the relationship. The bridge is a harsh rebuke, as the singer tells their former partner to "hurry up, get goin'" and warns them that "there's no hope for tomorrow."
The song finishes with the repeated line "I gave you everything and now I'm so numb" and the haunting refrain of "sitting here blind." Overall, "Eyes Wide Shut" is a raw and emotional expression of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a toxic relationship.

Mistakes that you made
I'm bringing up your mistakes
Don't be surprised that they're carved in stone
Your mistakes are set in stone and unforgivable
I never thought we'd come undone
I never thought we'd break up
Till I learned you can't trust anyone
Until I realized I can't trust you or anyone else
It's times like these that I gave in
I gave in to your lies and games
But times have changed
But now I'm no longer falling for it
You're getting under my skin
You're bothering me
I think I'm out of my mind
I feel crazy
Because I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here
Because I'm trying to ignore you
You keep ignoring the past
You don't learn from your mistakes
On your knees like a b***h and you keep crawling back
You keep begging for forgiveness
It's a waste of my time
It's pointless for me to keep forgiving you
'Cause I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here blind
Because I'M trying to ignore you
Chorus: I closed my eyes ignoring the circumstance
I'm trying to pretend everything is ok
It's so clear, you were never there
You were never really present in the relationship
And I can't pretend there's nothing wrong
I can't keep ignoring the problems we have
When you loved me in your messed up ways
You showed love in a negative and damaging way
Well it's not enough for me to stay
I can't continue to put up with this
Games that you play
I'm calling out your manipulative behavior
Don't be surprised when you're all alone
You'll end up alone because of how you treat others

Because you don't think I'm serious
There's no hope for tomorrow
There's no future for us

I learned from this and I'm moving on
And I'll bury your name
I'm forgetting about you
'Cause I can't live off the happiness of better days
I can't keep living in the past and hoping for better times
Why can't you face me?
Why can't you confront me?
Well you got the best of me!
You took advantage of me
I tried to forget you but baby you were my perfect disease
I tried to move on but you took hold of me
Was it all a dream?
Was our relationship even real?
You can't seem to disagree
You can't admit your mistakes
Well I wish I'd never let you get to see this side of me
I regret showing you my vulnerable side
Here's another story for your eyes to finally see
I'm telling you the truth and you need to accept it
What will never be, we'll never be
We can never be together
Watch me walk away
I'm leaving
I gave you everything and now I'm so numb
I gave you my all and now I feel nothing
'Cause I'm staring with my eyes closed sitting here blind
Because I'm trying to ignore you
I gave you everything
I gave you all of me
I'm so numb.
I feel nothing anymore

@Swissyx
I particularly like the screaming in this one. The confident range control with natural mid/low transition, singing contrasts really well. Chorus flows in and out nicely. Great job
@ScreamTeam1234
They killed this song live last week at Allstars tour, video on my page of Nightmares and Sink you teeth into this.

@christianshredder1447
The female voice is ever so hauntingly beautiful to me. I find it Superior to male vocalists in metal bands overall, and this group scratches that musical itch. 🤘🤘

Everyone, a serious ass question, why does tears come out of my eyes when first hearing this song? im not even a fan of this genre, but that womans angelic voice perfectly fits with all the other aspects of the band gracefully. Holy fuck
