Sam Mackey - Open Your Eyes [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Sam Mackey]
Look around, the curtains have closed
They've all given up and gone home
Its time to end your show
But go ahead keep running, keep ducking
Keep searching for attention and wishing you had insightful eyes and the courage to fight
And you do, whether you choose to shout or you chose to write
But wishing gets you no where near completion
Anything gives you a reason to give up cause its a challenge
What happened to pursuing cause the challenge is a gift?
Why the shift?
Why the constant self abusiveness?
What happened to you?
What turned you into this?
She said, "I don't get it i must be sick i must be twisted
I'm just another poor statistic listed." And if you don't stay now, you'll be another who missed it
The golden opportunity
It's what you need, a break from society
I know you chose this life
Cause its easier to to die
Then to work your ass off reaching for the sky

[Verse 2: Sam Mackey]
Open your eyes, its not your time to die
Cause you ain't dead yet, so stand the fuck up and allow your soul to fly
Here you are sitting with your head up your ass
Talking about whats wrong with everyone else
Well its time to put your insecurities on the shelf
Because revolution, that starts with self
Your so afraid to fail, but you should be more afraid not to try
Don't let your river rot and dry
Wake up 20 years later asking yourself why?
Why did i settle in life?
What do they mean when they say follow your dreams?
They mean go be the person you wanted to be before the age of 13
Before the world started shutting you down
Shoving your face in the dirt, now your comfortable where you lie dying on the ground
Learned its easier to conform to the norm
Than to be who you are scared to shake the storm
Your blame was a creation of your shame
Hate for vulnerability came through tragedy
You built a wall from the ones who cut you when you were raw
Defences held high, but all in all
Your the strongest i know, its nothing minor
Head held low, but you are a survivor

[Verse 3: Sam Mackey]
Listen to what i have to say
There are no subliminal messages, no reading between the lines
I'm telling you right now... this is your sweat, your blood and your life
You're either dying or your growing
And you're the only person that can get you where your going
I'm telling you right now... this is my sweat, my blood and my life
I'm either dying or i'm growing and i'm the only person that can get me where i'm going

Feel my pain, feel my fears
See my tears, see what i see in my own mirror
But as long as i'm breathing
I'll be living to give my life meaning
I'll do what ever i gotta do
I'm surrendering it all over to you
