Close Your Eyes
Unveiling Truth: A Deep Dive into Paradise Lost's 'Close Your Eyes' Meaning
Lyrics
For our saviour could not deny
Expressing that their savior could not reject or disown something
All born the same
Highlighting the commonality of all individuals being born without distinction
All born the same
Reiterating the idea that everyone is born in the same way
You won't hear the truth
Suggesting that the truth is not readily available or acknowledged
I can feel it, close your eyes
Encouraging the act of closing one's eyes, possibly to introspect or reflect
I still see
Despite closing eyes, the speaker still perceives or understands something
You invent the proof
Implies that proof is being fabricated or invented
I can feel it, close your eyes
Reiterating the suggestion to close one's eyes and feel something
I still see
Even with closed eyes, the speaker continues to perceive or comprehend
You won't hear the truth
Reiterating that the truth is not easily heard or accepted
Born a failure
Describing someone as a failure from birth
Could not deny
Repeating the idea that the failure could not be denied
All born the same
Stating again the commonality of everyone being born in the same way
All born the same
Reiterating the notion that all individuals share the same birth experience
You won't hear the truth
Emphasizing the difficulty in accepting or acknowledging the truth
I can feel it, close your eyes
Encouraging the act of closing one's eyes to feel something
I still see
Despite closed eyes, the speaker continues to perceive or comprehend
You invent the proof
Suggesting the invention or fabrication of evidence or justification
I can feel it, close your eyes
Reiterating the suggestion to close one's eyes and feel something
I still see
Even with closed eyes, the speaker continues to perceive or understand
You won't hear the truth
Reiterating the difficulty in hearing or accepting the truth
For our saviour could not deny
Repeating the idea that their savior could not disown or reject something
You won't hear the truth
Emphasizing the challenge in hearing or accepting the truth
I can feel it, close your eyes
Encouraging the act of closing one's eyes, possibly for self-awareness
I still see
Despite closed eyes, the speaker continues to perceive or understand
You invent the proof
Suggesting the creation or invention of proof or justification
I can feel it, close your eyes
Reiterating the suggestion to close one's eyes and feel something
I still see
Even with closed eyes, the speaker continues to perceive or comprehend
You won't hear the truth
Reiterating the difficulty in hearing or accepting the truth
