Just Close Your Eyes

Today's track is just a good rock track. "Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde first caught my attention while flicking through channels on tv and somehow ended up on some pretty random "sports entertainment". It's hardly a sport or entertaining however... I did like the song.

I like this because it tells a tale that's quite simple: "Forget all you see and believe to be real. Just, close your eyes and make it all go away." It's always amazing at how much we simply believe to be true instead of really looking a little more inward.

Deceived by my eyes and all I was told I should see
Opinions not mine, the person they taught me to be
One night in the dark, a vision of someone I know
And out of the darkness I heard, a voice say, I'm you.
Inside me a light was turned on Then I was alive

If you close your eyes your life, a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
and find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes

Hearts uninspired, trapped inside somebody's dream
Too close to the fire, yet cold and so numb with the pain
But the fever has broken, and the river has run to the sea
Washed to the ocean, and saved by a voice inside me.
Inside me a light was turned on Then I was alive

If you close your eyes your life, a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
and find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes

Never thought I would be here, so high in the air
This is my unanswered prayer
Defined by another, so much wasted time
Out of the darkness, each breath that I take will be mine

If you close your eyes your life, a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
and find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes


In the end of it all, listen to that little voice inside, it has a way of taking you home.
