03. Open My Eyes - BEHIND THE WALL OF FREEDOM

Sitting in my
Best friend John´s room
Waiting what´s to be

„Show you something
That will blow you (away)“
He says smiling at me

Put a cassette
To a player
Second he´s waiting

„It´s from a place
Behind the wall“
He is whispering

And then…push a button…called play
And it´s playing
And it´s screaming…beating to my mind
And it´s yelling
And it´s soaring…black wind fast and wild

What is this I like it?
I´ve never heard before
It´s moving with my body
Invading to my core

Bridge:
With botton play
He changed my way
Feel something strange
Never be the same!

Chorus:
He´s opened my eyes…clear a haze of tomorrow
New horizons drawing near
He´s opened my eyes…light up my shadows
I´m feeling the end is here
He´s opened my eyes…taking my shadows
Shadows that covering me
He´s opened my eyes…voices to follow
Calling that I´m not free

Something in this music
Lyrics and melodies
Has started something in me
Is it life what it seems?

Bridge:
With button play
He changed my way
Feel I was tamed
Never be the same!

Chorus:
He´s opened my eyes…clear a haze of tomorrow
New horizons drawing near
He´s opened my eyes…light up my shadows
I´m feeling the end is here
He´s opened my eyes…taking my shadows
Shadows that covering me
He´s opened my eyes…voices to follow
Calling that I´m not free

John´s whispering:

„Listen to me
This cassette is just a little piece
From the place behind the wall…wall
One day I will get there
Because I want to know more…to know more
Swear you don´t tell it anybody
it´s just between you and me
Think about it if you want more…want more
Because oneday you can go with me“

You can go with me
You can go with me
You can go with me
You can go with me…behind the wall*(backing vocals)
You can go with me…behind the wall*
You can go with me…if you want more*
You can go with me…behind the wall…recall in my ears*
You can go with me…behind the wall…like a distant dream*
You can go with me…if you want more…echoes in my ears*
You can go with me…behind the wall…that could be real*
You can go with me
You can go with me
You can go with me
You can go with me
You can go with me (fading out)

I like this!! It's exactly what a couple of kids would do if they had a secret... and I like the "What is this I like it?/ I´ve never heard before/ It´s moving with my body/ Invading to my core" bit - it's speaks of a real revelation. This line too "He´s opened my eyes…voices to follow/ Calling that I´m not free"
I think the repeat "You can go with me" really works, because it's almost like it's playing on the kid's mind...
I like this a lot

This bit's cool "He changed my way
Feel I was tamed
Never be the same!"

I think it be more appropriate to say "Show you something
That will blow you away
He says smiling at me".

I second Katie's and RB's comments Hugo, this is really likable. That change that RB recommended is important but this is a fine piece, very original and I think even epic in a sense. Very nice

Thank you RobberBaron for your comment and grammar advice (again . I skip "away" because of a flow but it´s not right so I fixed it. Thank you.
