Shut My Eyes Forever
Eternal Shadows: Navigating Life's Trials Through Blood for Blood's 'Shut My Eyes Forever'
Lyrics
They say you've got to fall to rise,
Expressing the idea that experiencing failure is necessary for eventual success.
But I've fallen from grace too many times
Acknowledging repeated instances of falling from a state of favor or virtue.
When I look in their eyes and I see their lies,
Observing deceit in the eyes of others, prompting a desire to avoid facing the truth.
I want to shut my eyes forever
Expressing a strong desire to escape reality and its challenges permanently.
I've had enough of this world,
Conveying a sense of exhaustion and discontent with the world.
Enough of all it's flaws, troubles and toiles
Tired of the imperfections, difficulties, and struggles present in the world.
Born with bad luck and into nothing,
Being born into unfortunate circumstances and lacking opportunities.
I hoped for better but what did it bring?
Reflecting on unfulfilled hopes and questioning the outcomes of life choices.
Well I been up and I been down, I been out,
Describing a tumultuous life with ups and downs, feeling lost at times.
I guess this world keeps me spinnin' around
Expressing a sense of being caught in the continuous cycle of life's challenges.
And I try, I try to stand but there's nowhere to run,
Attempting to stand firm in the face of difficulties but feeling trapped with no escape.
I think I've lost my way, why'know my time is almost done
Acknowledging a sense of being off course and recognizing the limited time left.
They say you've got to fall to rise,
Repeating the idea that setbacks are necessary for eventual success.
But I've fallen from grace too many times
Reiterating the theme of falling from a state of grace multiple times.
When I look in their eyes and I see their lies,
Noticing deception in others and expressing a desire to avoid facing the truth.
I want to shut my eyes forever
Strongly desiring a permanent escape from the challenges and falsehoods of life.
Well, I been up, and I been down, I been out,
Recalling a life with ups and downs, feeling trapped in life's continuous cycle.
This wicked world keeps me spinning around,
Highlighting the persistent challenges and complexities of the world.
And I've tried to understand, but I'll never learn
Expressing a struggle to comprehend and learn from life's experiences.
I won't even try, I'll just shut my eyes
Choosing to avoid understanding and, instead, opting to close one's eyes to reality.
They say you've got to fall to rise,
Reiterating the idea that setbacks are part of the journey towards success.
But I've fallen from grace too many times
Emphasizing the repeated experience of falling from a state of grace.
When I look in their eyes and I see their lies,
Observing deception in others' eyes and expressing a desire to avoid facing it.
I want to shut my eyes forever
Intensifying the desire for a permanent escape from the challenges and falsehoods of life.
I don't want to see no more, (and when I close these eyes)
Expressing a strong aversion to witnessing more of life's difficulties.
I want to shut my eyes forever, (I'll finally find some shelter)
Reiterating the desire to close one's eyes permanently for shelter and peace.
And when I close these eyes, I'll be at peace forever
Anticipating finding eternal peace and tranquility by closing one's eyes.
