Lyrics
I keep feeling my eyes close shut
The speaker is experiencing a desire to close their eyes.
You know I love you sincerely but
Expressing genuine love while feeling conflicted.
Now I just wanna be still
Desire to remain motionless and tranquil.
And not move and not think
Wishing to avoid any physical or mental activity.
Be still, be still, move and make me feel ill
Emphasizing the need for stillness; movement causes discomfort.
I was afraid, my eyes shut
Recalling a moment of fear causing eye closure.
Don't open my body up
Desire to avoid vulnerability or exposure.
I don't wanna be in my body
Expressing a wish to detach from physical existence.
oh imagine this overhead light
Imagining a bright, potentially overwhelming light.
I'll believe anything you tell me is right
Willingness to believe and accept what's presented as true.
If you just let me be still
Seeking tranquility and stillness, avoiding action and thought.
And not move and not think
Reiteration of the desire for stillness and avoidance of movement and thought.
Still, still, think and make me feel ill
Highlighting discomfort caused by thinking amidst stillness.
I was afraid, my eyes shut
Reiteration of fear leading to eye closure.
Don't open my body up
Desire to avoid vulnerability or exposure (similar to line 8).
I don't wanna be in my body
Continued desire to detach from physical existence.
It makes me sick to shut up
Feeling uncomfortable by remaining silent or inactive.
So open my body up
Contradictory desire to be exposed or vulnerable.
Oh come on, oh come on
Urging to open up or reveal oneself.
And open my body up
Continued desire to be exposed or vulnerable.
I'm imagining an overhead light
Reimagining the overwhelming overhead light.
I believe anything that you tell me is right
Willingness to accept what's presented as true (similar to line 12).
I don't wanna be in my body
Continued desire to detach from physical existence.
It's the biggest trick
Feeling uncomfortable or trapped by keeping silent.
It makes me sick to shut up
Reiteration of discomfort by remaining silent.
So open my body up
Repetition of the desire to be exposed or vulnerable.
Come on, come on
Urging to reveal oneself (similar to line 23).
Open my body up
Continued desire to be exposed or vulnerable.
