Shut Your Eyes [single]

by The Stream

/

about

Shut Your Eyes is the first single of the upcoming new album Nature Calls. A well crafted classic pop song in the style of chamber pop. Like all songs on the album, Shut Your Eyes was inspired by scientific phenomena. The invisible attraction between the smallest particles was used as a metaphor for the attraction between people.

lyrics

Shut Your Eyes

For every state you’ve been
We all felt isolation
The many, the few, the near and the far
And what we’ve seen
is just a lack of observation
Including the nature of what we are
You simply can’t deny there’s always interaction
Even when it’s small

One look at each other
Two seconds to be
To find one another
Shut your eyes and you’ll see
Sometimes I get a little excited
It's just a phase, don’t have to hide it, it’s cool

So many words
so many rules and regulations
Sometimes you just want out
Out of this place
with all its pressure and frustration
You feel the need to shout
You simply can’t deny the space you need to feel good
Even when it’s small

One look at each other
Two seconds to be
To find one another
Shut your eyes and you’ll see
Sometimes I get a little excited
It's just a phase, don’t have to hide it, it’s cool

One look at each other
Two seconds to be
To find one another
Shut your eyes and you’ll see
Sometimes I get a little excited
sometimes there’s no notion at all
Sometimes I get a little excited
It's just a phase, don’t have to hide it, it’s cool

One look at each other
