Open It
Unveiling Heartache: Victoria Reed's 'Open It' Reveals Painful Truths
Lyrics
Have you loved me always
Expressing inquiry about consistent love over time
What is not to love you say
Asking what qualities make the person lovable
And now that you're gone can you see
Reflecting on the impact of the person's absence
All the things she's done to me
Highlighting negative actions by someone else in the absence
Now that you're gone can you see
Repetition for emphasis on the negative impact
All the things she's done to me
-Now that you're gone can you see
-All the things she's done to me
-And maybe now you can undo
Hope for the possibility of undoing past falsehoods
All the lies she told they were never true
Recognition that past lies were never true
And all the times I couldn't stay
Reference to challenging times when staying wasn't safe
You and I both know it wasn't safe
Acknowledging mutual understanding of the unsafe situation
And I woke up wondering
Expressing thoughts upon waking up
If you remembered the day I was born
Questioning if the listener recalls the day of the singer's birth
When you called me with the doctors news
Recalling a phone call about a medical revelation
You just started to tell me the story
-How all the times you caused us pain
Attributing pain to external influence, possibly another person
It's just because she had you in chains
Suggesting that the external influence had control
And the last words I ever heard you speak to her Were don't bother me anymore
Recalling a final message to the external influence
The last words I ever heard you speak to here
Repetition for emphasis on the final message
Were don't bother me anymore
-Open it open it
Repetition of a desire to open something, possibly symbolic
Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it open it open it
Further repetition of the desire to open something
Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it open it open it
-Open it open it open it open it
Repetition of the word "open it"
And I woke up wondering
Reiteration of waking up with thoughts
If you remembered the day I was born
Recalling a previous reflection on the day of birth
When you called me with the doctors news
-You just started to tell me the story I woke up wondering
Repetition of recalling a story linked to the day of birth
If you remembered the day I was born
-When you called me with the doctors news
-You just started to tell me the story
-Open it open it open it open it
Repetition of the desire to "open it" with variations
Open it open it open it open it
-Open it
-Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it
-Don't worry I want to go to bed
-Open it open it open it open it
-Open it open it open it open it
-Open it
Final repetition of the word "open it"
