Les yeux ouverts

Enzo Enzo's song "Les yeux ouverts" is a poignant exploration of memory, longing, and the bittersweet nature of love. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and the emotional weight of past experiences. The opening lines, "Ce souvenir, je te l'rends / Des souvenirs tu sais, j'en ai tellement," suggest a willingness to let go of certain memories, acknowledging that life is a continuous cycle of starting over. This sentiment is reinforced by the line, "Puisqu'on repart toujours à zéro / Pas la peine de s'charger trop," which implies that holding on to too many memories can be burdensome.

The chorus, "J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien / Ça n'va pas plus loin," captures the essence of dreaming with open eyes, a metaphor for daydreaming or reminiscing while being fully aware of reality. This act of dreaming provides comfort and solace, even if it doesn't change the present situation. The line, "J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens / Vivement demain," emphasizes a desire to look forward rather than dwell on the past, highlighting a hopeful outlook for the future.

The song also delves into the theme of love and the impact of a significant other. The lines, "Mon bonheur te ressemble / Tous les deux vous allez bien ensemble," express how the singer's happiness is intertwined with their partner. However, there is an underlying sense of melancholy, as seen in the lines, "Un dernier verre de sherry / De chéri mon amour, comme je m'ennuie," which reveal a deep sense of longing and the monotony of days without the loved one. The closing line, "Tu me manques terriblement," encapsulates the profound feeling of missing someone dearly.
