My Eyes
Eternal Rebellion: Life's Liberation in 'My Eyes'
Lyrics
A little older, little wiser
Aging and gaining wisdom
With every breath I learn just a little more
Continuous learning with each breath
And with all I've seen, I've finally made up my mind
After various experiences, a firm decision is made
Enough of this world
Fed up with the world
Enough blood in these eyes
Tired of witnessing violence or suffering
So, so, so sick of this life
Expressing intense dissatisfaction with life
It's about time that I realized
Realization of needing change
Release this hate from inside
Desire to let go of internal hatred
Enough blood in my eyes
Literal or metaphorical blood in the eyes, possibly indicating distress
Call it what you will
Open to interpretation, possibly facing judgment or labeling
Call it suicide
Mention of suicide as a concept
Disregard how you feel
Disregarding others' feelings in pursuit of mental freedom
I'm just freeing my mind
Freeing the mind from constraints
Clench my teeth as I sleep
Physical manifestation of inner tension during sleep
So, so, so sick of this life
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with life
Cannot take, cannot fake
Unable to endure or pretend
Can't shake this blood from these eyes
Struggling to rid oneself of emotional burdens
All I have and all I will be
Reflection on past and future existence
Nevertheless I'll live for all eternity
Commitment to living eternally despite challenges
'Cause you can't erase my words, can't erase my mind
Defiance against erasure of personal expression
You can't wipe out my thoughts
Resistance to the suppression of one's thoughts
Can't shake this blood from my eyes
Persistence of emotional struggles and pain
So, so, so don't even try
Unyielding resistance to attempts at relief or change
Just give me one good reason to live
Seeking a reason to continue living
I'll give you three to die
Provocative statement, suggesting reasons to end life
Let's leave this world behind
Desire to escape the world
