( The chorus is the main lyric that makes many people believe the song talks about suicide.
#Close my eyes song how to#
(It is not exactly clear who had the childhood tragedy, but because he sings the chorus immediately following this question, asking how to cope, it implies that it is her problem with which he is unfamiliar or a problem that has been in his way for his whole life. Heaven, is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you She is fearful and unable to tell what is truth and what is fiction in her own mind/heart.) (Her confession later in the song of lying to him is symptomatic here. My Interpretation(Firstly, I interpret this song as a truthful, inner-voice discussion between lovers or would-be lovers.) If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes I know I've been so hard on you I know I've told you lies Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heartĪnd when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave? It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same? If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged? What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy? Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy? Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
