Eyes Wide Shut
mitchkmn Lyrics

The lyrics of "Eyes Wide Shut" by mitchkmn delves into themes of self-exploration, substance abuse, and a sense of entrapment. The opening lines, "Go now bitch I'll see you in the morning, Eyes wide shut girl I hear that liquor pouring" suggest the singer is in the company of someone they are dismissive of, yet cannot completely distance themselves from. The phrase "eyes wide shut" can be interpreted as an oxymoron, meaning that the person is keeping themselves willfully blind to their surroundings or perhaps hiding their true emotions. The singer also remarks on the person's lack of engagement or excitement towards life, calling them "boring". The line "Fuck around with drugs I ain't a junky I'm exploring" portrays the sense of experimentation with substances as a way to escape the mundane or to find something new.

The lyrics also have a recurring line "I've been trying to find myself for years, when the fuck you gonna let me out?", indicating a sense of feeling trapped or held back, likely by the same person the singer is addressing. This line highlights the desire of the singer to break free and discover who they truly are. There is a sense of frustration and impatience in not being able to do so. Overall, the lyrics reflect on the struggles of self-discovery, the exploration of new experiences, and the traps that hold us back from truly discovering ourselves.
