Song Meaning of “Cover My Eyes” by The Birthday Massacre
Cover My Eyes is a reflective and melancholic song about running out of energy and feeling emotionally drained. The song talks about wanting to hide from the reality of life and slowly losing oneself amidst the chaos and the disappointments.
The singer expresses her desire to cover her eyes so that she could no longer struggle to find a way out of her predicament. She wants to be freed of the worries and the guilt that go along with her life and decisions, and just be alone with her thoughts.
But despite all of her struggles and pain, it is clear the singer has kept her faith and hope alive; with the chorus providing an uplifting message of resilience: “I will stand and I will shine. I will be strong through the night. I will keep my eyes wide open, and look up to the sky.”
The song is an ode to anyone out there who is struggling and feeling overwhelmed. It is an invitation for all of us to pause and think about our own journeys and to remember that we are not alone in our struggles and that we can find strength in the little things that we do.
