Eyes Shut
Unveiling Hidden Fears: Tigers Jaw's 'Eyes Shut' Reveals a Vulnerable Struggle
Lyrics
I wanna love but I'm afraid to
Feeling a desire for love but hesitant or fearful to pursue it.
I wanna give myself love, but I wanna turn myself in
Wanting to love oneself but also having a desire to escape or hide.
I've learned to hate 'cause I was made to
Developing a sense of hatred, possibly due to external influences or experiences.
I am the product of those who came before me
Acknowledging that personal identity is shaped by the influence of those who came before.
We're all living with our eyes shut
Highlighting a collective state of ignorance or avoidance in society.
And we're all living with our eyes shut
Reiterating the theme of living with closed eyes as a shared experience.
For what it's worth, I'm not out to prove you wrong
Expressing a lack of intent to prove others wrong, suggesting a non-confrontational stance.
For what it's worth, you got the best of me
Acknowledging that someone has had a significant impact, possibly a negative one.
I've got a secret I can never tell you
Hinting at a hidden truth or personal burden that cannot be shared.
It's nothing good
Clarifying that the secret is not something positive or beneficial.
And it's not your fault I'm not strong enough
Stating that the lack of strength is not the fault of someone else.
And it's not your fault I'm not strong enough
Repeating the acknowledgment that personal weakness is not attributed to another person.
And it's not your fault I'm not strong enough
Emphasizing that the inability to be strong is a personal struggle.
And it's not your fault I'm not strong enough
Reiterating that personal strength is not influenced by external factors.
And we're all living with our eyes shut
Revisiting the idea of a collective state of ignorance or avoidance in society.
And we're all living with our eyes shut
Repeating the notion that many individuals are living with closed eyes.
And we're all living with our eyes shut
Continuing to emphasize the prevalence of ignorance or avoidance.
And we're all living with our eyes shut
Concluding the repetition of the theme of living with closed eyes.
