Closing My Eyes
Whize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dealing with the bullshit every other day
Close my eyes and I can feel the hate
Close my eyes and I can feel your pain
Searching for the good things in life
Recently I can't find that stride
Brokenhearted with a bloody knife
Paper hearts 'cause of broken thoughts
Life is slowly falling apart
Try to fix it, but where to start?
Try to fix it, but where to start?
Five steps forward, ten steps back
Life refuse to give you some slack
Be the big guy and don't look back
Save your heart some heart attacks
Pushed away all my fucking life
I ain't never seen the fucking light
But I'm still here till I fucking die
And there's still tears every single night
Try to work on myself for me
Fucking up but I still believe
Head is high even though I'm weak
Won't live on my fucking knees
And that's a promise that I try to fucking keep
Try to keep
Five steps forward, ten steps back
Life refuse to give you some slack
Paper hearts 'cause of broken thoughts
Life is slowly falling apart
Five steps forward, ten steps back
Life refuse to give you some slack
Paper hearts 'cause of broken thoughts
Life is slowly falling apart
The song "Closing My Eyes" by Whize is a deeply emotional and introspective piece that touches on themes of pain, struggle, and hope. The opening lines of the song set the tone for what is to come, as the singer talks about the constant battle with dealing with bullshit and experiencing pain in their life. They use the metaphor of closing their eyes to feel the hate and pain, perhaps suggesting that it's all around them and inescapable.
The next stanza talks about the search for good things in life but struggling to find that stride. The imagery of the brokenhearted with a bloody knife is a powerful one, suggesting that the pain the singer is experiencing is so intense that it's causing physical harm. The lines about trying to fix things, but not knowing where to start also reflect this feeling of being overwhelmed and uncertain about the future.
The chorus talks about taking five steps forward and ten steps back, with life refusing to give any slack. The idea of paper hearts due to broken thoughts suggests that the singer's emotions are fragile and easily damaged. Despite this, they try to be the big guy and not look back, saving their heart from heart attacks. The final lines of the chorus describe tears shed every night, highlighting the emotional toll that the struggles are taking.
The second verse starts with the singer reflecting on feeling pushed away their whole life and never seeing the light. However, they are still determined to keep going until they die, even if it means experiencing tears every night. The lines about working on themselves, even though they mess up, suggest an underlying sense of hope and resilience. The last lines of the song describe a promise to not live on their knees, which could be interpreted as a vow to never give up on themselves despite the obstacles they face.

I used to listen to this song on Spotify. I forgot the password and when I logged in from my other account I couldn't find this song there was only beat. I searched it I didn't know the name of this song nor the artist. Finally I found it on YouTube. It makes me feel good. Thanks man.
