Close Your Eyes
ill.Gates & Captain Hook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop pissing away all the hours and days
Take one last look at me, this is what you will be
If you keep on this way we will all turn to fire
All these pictures turn our eyes into stares
Their reaction proves that they just don't care
I will take one last look into your face
Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
The power within you will guide you and I
Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
They don't lie
Your mind is awakening, your soul is repenting
Stop pissing away all the hours and days
Take one last look at me, this is what you will be
If you keep on this way we will all turn to fire
All our actions paint a picture surreal
There's no way to erase the hate that I feel
I will take one last look into your face
Before we all crumble and fall
Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
The power within you will guide you and I
Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
They don't lie
Decide, inside
Decide, inside
The lyrics of Ill.Gates and Captain Hook's song Open Your Eyes encourage their audience to become more aware of their mind and soul. The artists suggest that people are wasting their time on mundane, insignificant matters instead of focusing on their spiritual awakening. The lyrics prompt listeners to take a last look at the world they know, warning them that if they continue down the path they are on, they will all turn to fire, presumably meaning that they will suffer the consequences of their indifference or neglect.
The artists then describe how people's fixation on pictures and images causes them to become indifferent to the world around them. They explain that, despite the profound impact of these images, people don't respond in a meaningful way because they don't care enough. The artists then ask their audience to take another glance at their faces before they fall apart and lose touch with their spiritual essence. Finally, the chorus urges people to remove the veil of ignorance by getting to the truth, which is hidden behind their eyes.
