When I Close My Eyes
Embracing Life's Depths: When I Close My Eyes by Chelsea Cutler
Lyrics
I'm falling, I'm counting my steps from the top to the bottom
The speaker feels like they are falling and reflecting on their journey from the highest point to the lowest.
All I wanted, I still needed more just as soon as I got it
Despite achieving what they desired, the speaker still feels a sense of lacking or needing more.
Baby, I'm scared we're gonna die still living like this
Expresses fear about the possibility of dying while living in an unsatisfactory manner.
Maybe satisfaction don't exist
Suggests that satisfaction might be unattainable or elusive.
God give me the things I need
Asking for the necessary things from God to open their heart to someone else.
To open up my heart and let you in
Expresses the desire to open up emotionally and let someone into their life.
And know it's all enough
Desiring reassurance that what they have is sufficient.
Tell me it's all enough
Requesting confirmation that everything they have is indeed enough.
When I close my eyes
The speaker reflects on their internal world and contemplation when they close their eyes.
I see each of the hundred lives that I could live
Visualizing numerous possible paths or versions of their life when they close their eyes.
I know it's all enough
Understanding and accepting that what they have is sufficient.
I know it's all enough to be here, waking up
Realizing that it's enough to simply be alive and wake up each day.
Wanted magic, but how many dreams have we left in the attic
Longing for something magical, but acknowledging the dreams they've left behind.
Collecting dust with my youth, all the things that I do that I don't believe in
Recognizing that their youthful aspirations and actions might contradict their beliefs now.
God give me the things I need
Reiterating the plea for what's necessary to open up emotionally.
To open up my heart and let you in
Desiring emotional vulnerability and connection.
And know it's all enough
Seeking assurance that they have enough.
Tell me it's all enough
Requesting confirmation that everything they possess is sufficient.
When I close my eyes
Revisiting the imagery of contemplating different lives when closing their eyes.
I see each of the hundred lives that I could live
Continuing to envision various potential life paths.
I know it's all enough
Understanding and accepting that what they have is enough.
I know it's all enough to be here, waking up
Realizing the sufficiency of being present and waking up to life.
Baby, I'm scared we're gonna die still living like this
Repeats the fear of dying while living unsatisfactorily.
Maybe satisfaction don't exist
Reiterates the doubt about the existence of satisfaction.
God give me the things I need
Asking for what's needed to emotionally connect with someone.
To open up my heart and let you in
Desiring emotional openness and connection.
And know it's all enough
Seeking reassurance that what they possess emotionally and materially is sufficient.
Tell me it's all enough
Requesting confirmation that everything they have is enough.
When I close my eyes
Reflecting on the multitude of possible lives when they close their eyes.
I see each of the hundred lives that I could live
Continuing to contemplate various potential life paths.
I know it's all enough
Understanding and accepting that what they have is enough.
I know it's all enough to be here, waking up
Realizing the sufficiency of being present and alive.
