GLADES is the the trio project of Sydney based musicians Karina, Cam and Joey, making their debut in mid 2015 with their single 'Falling Away’. The trio met in high school and are passionate about combining the melodic intricacy of Indie, with the catchiness of Pop; from the reverb-laden guitars of The xx to the synthscapes of CHVRCHES and the beats of Lorde.
Eyes Wide Shut
glades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But look at me, here I am
Blindfold, I keep on stumbling tryna find my feet
Oh yeah
The only place I really wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be tonight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Never be, never be, every time (Time)
I see you coming with your eyes wide shut
You′re trying my luck but I don't want it anymore
If you don't want to see me when my heart erupts
And tears me up
I only need you when you′re not here, no
Only wanna be mine for the good times now, but
Never wanna be mine, never wanna be mine, oh
You never wanna be mine when the bad rules won
Rules won, rules won
′Cause your eyes wide shut, now
I see you a different way than how I did before
Down in the dust, looking up
Now I see you, now I'm not falling for it anymore
The only place I really wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be tonight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Is the only place I know you′ll never be, never be
Never be, never be, every time
I see you coming with your eyes wide shut (I see)
You're trying my luck
But I don′t want it anymore (My luck)
If you don't want to see me
When my heart erupts (Don′t see)
And tears me up (Me up)
I only need you when you're not here, no
Only wanna be mine for
The good times now, but
Never wanna be mine
Never wanna be mine, oh
You never wanna be mine
When the bad rules won
Rules won, rules won
'Cause your eyes wide shut, now
The only place I really wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be tonight
Is the only place I know you′ll never be, never be
Never be, never be, every time
I see you coming with your eyes wide shut (I see)
You′re trying my luck
But I don't want it anymore (My luck)
If you don′t want to see me
When my heart erupts (Don't see)
And tears me up (Me up)
I only need you when you′re not here, no
Only wanna be mine for
The good times now, but
Never wanna be mine
Never wanna be mine, oh
You never wanna be mine
When the bad rules won
Rules won, rules won
'Cause your eyes wide shut, now
′Cause your eyes wide shut, now
'Cause your eyes wide shut, now

Despite this, the singer still longs to be with their partner, but recognizes that the only place they can truly be together is in their own desires and dreams. They lament that their partner never wants to be truly committed or present in the difficult times, but only desires the good times. The chorus expresses the frustration of wanting to be seen and loved by their partner but feeling constantly invisible.
Overall, the lyrics of "Eyes Wide Shut" convey a sense of longing for a deeper connection within a relationship where emotional walls have been built. The singer desires to be genuinely seen and loved, but realizes that their partner resists vulnerability and only wants to be present for the easy and enjoyable moments.
Line by Line Meaning
Blindfold, you’d rather shield your eyes than look at me
You prefer to cover your eyes and avoid looking at me
But look at me, here I am
However, I am still here, visible and present
Blindfold, I keep on stumbling tryna find my feet
Even though I struggle, I continue to search for stability
The only place I really wanna be, wanna be
The sole location where I truly desire to be
Is the only place I know you'll never be, never be
Unfortunately, it is a place where you will never be present
I see you coming with your eyes wide shut
I perceive you approaching with your eyes closed, oblivious to the truth
You're trying my luck but I don't want it anymore
You're testing my luck, but I no longer desire it
If you don't want to see me when my heart erupts
If you refuse to witness my emotional outbursts
And tears me up
And causes me emotional distress
I only need you when you're not here, no
I only yearn for your presence when you are absent
Only wanna be mine for the good times now, but
You only want to be with me during the enjoyable moments, but
Never wanna be mine, never wanna be mine, oh
You never want to truly belong to me
You never wanna be mine when the bad rules won
You never want to be there for me when difficulties arise
′Cause your eyes wide shut, now
Because you choose to keep your eyes closed and remain oblivious
I see you a different way than how I did before
Now, I perceive you in a different manner than in the past
Down in the dust, looking up
You are in a low state, but hopeful for improvement
Now I see you, now I'm not falling for it anymore
Now that I see you clearly, I refuse to be deceived anymore
The only place I really wanna be, wanna be
The sole location where I truly desire to be
Is the only place I know you'll never be, never be
Unfortunately, it is a place where you will never be present
I see you coming with your eyes wide shut
I perceive you approaching with your eyes closed, oblivious to the truth
You're trying my luck
You're testing my luck
If you don't want to see me
If you refuse to acknowledge my existence
When my heart erupts
During moments of emotional turmoil
And tears me up
Causing me emotional pain
I only need you when you're not here, no
I only yearn for your presence when you are absent
Only wanna be mine for the good times now, but
You only want to be with me during the enjoyable moments, but
Never wanna be mine, never wanna be mine, oh
You never truly want to belong to me
You never wanna be mine when the bad rules won
You never want to be there for me when difficulties arise
'Cause your eyes wide shut, now
Because you choose to keep your eyes closed and remain oblivious
'Cause your eyes wide shut, now
Because you choose to keep your eyes closed and remain oblivious
'Cause your eyes wide shut, now
Because you choose to keep your eyes closed and remain oblivious
