Taylor Swift: Eyes Open Meaning

Song Released: 2011

Eyes Open Lyrics

Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you sleeping
Keep your eyes open

A tricky thing as yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with...

   For me, this song wants to make people realize that when we are growing, the world is changing. We have to see more deeply and widely what the world has been changing. The world is not too dangerous to safe our life, but we have to protect yourself.

   hmm this song to me is about repetitively enforcing the importance of really opening your eyes and paying attention to the signs that are adding more and more validity to what you believe in. If you deeply believe in something that you feel to be truth, slowly but surely you will see signs and synchronicities appear in your life that directly help your cause. In a sense your past and future is created continuously based on your present state thought.
   
   Even when your sleeping, watch for the signs, our subconscious is more complex than we can give it credit for.
   
   The ego will try so desperately to taunt you into a false sense of probable impending breakdown and fallout if you try to follow your thread and experience more of what you are. Present state is the focal point to what will be and what has been. Cherish it.
   
   When the time comes, when you need to keep your feet steady on the ground, your heart in synch, and the night goes dark (darker than night?), follow the light in the darkness, no one's here to save you but yourself through YOUR light.
   
   Create balance within the left and right sides of your brain, be open to new information, observe as much as you can without judgement and expectation. Then can the world be yours.

   "Where everybody stands to keep score
   Keep your eyes open"
   
   Here Taylor sings that everybody stands to keep score. . . this makes me think of the Hunger Games where they watch on the TV's to see who will win, , ,

   I think she's describing what the hunger games would be like if it excised. Because in the hunger games everyone watches it, and keep your eyes open because you never know what's going to happen.
   But other then that it's kind of describing "celebrity life". That the haters wait for you to breakdown, everybody waits to find out if you fallout with a frien/boyfriend, everybody does watch your life, and they'll find everything out even if you're sleeping.
   So basically it says you do have to watch and keep your eyes open, when you're a celebrity and for the Hunger Games! (Read the first book! It was amazing!)
