Just Close Your Eyes

The song 'Just Close Your Eyes' by WWE delves into the profound journey of self-discovery and the struggle to break free from societal expectations. The lyrics begin with the protagonist realizing that their perception of the world has been shaped by external influences, leading them to become someone they were taught to be rather than their true self. This moment of clarity is depicted as a vision in the dark, where a voice reveals their true identity, igniting a light within them and bringing them to life.

The chorus emphasizes the transformative power of introspection. By closing their eyes, the protagonist is able to confront the 'naked truth' of their existence, uncovering dreams that were never pursued and scars that never healed. This metaphorical darkness becomes a space for enlightenment, guiding them to a place of self-acceptance and realization. The promise of finding a waiting presence on the other side suggests a reunion with their authentic self, a powerful image of inner reconciliation.

The second verse continues to explore themes of entrapment and liberation. The protagonist describes feeling uninspired and trapped within someone else's dream, symbolizing the constraints of living up to others' expectations. However, the breaking of the fever and the river running to the sea signify a cleansing and a return to a natural state of being. The voice inside, which once again turns on the light, represents the inner strength and guidance that leads to self-empowerment. The final lines of the song reflect a newfound sense of freedom and ownership over one's life, as each breath taken is now defined by their own terms, free from the darkness of external definitions.
