[Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed lyrics]

I know it's a bad idea
But how can I help myself?
Been inside for most this year
And I thought a few drinks, they might help
It's been a while, my dear
Dealin' with the cards life dealt
I'm still holdin' back these tears
While my friends are somewhere else

I pictured this year a little bit different
Wedded in February
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard, oh
How can it be this heavy?
Every song reminds me you're gonе and I
Feel the lump form in my throat
'Cause, I'm herе alone

Just dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my

Eye eye eye eyes eye eye eye eyes closed
Eye eye eye eyes
So I'll keep dancin' with my

Delusion is here again
And I think you'll come home soon
A word brings me right back in
Then it's only me that's in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colours are more than blue
But, I lost more than my friend
I can't help but missing you
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

I pictured this month a little bit different
No one is ever ready
And when it unfolds, you get in a hole, oh
How can it be this heavy?
Everything changes, nothing's the same
Except the truth is now you're gone
And life just goes on

So I'm dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my

Eye eye eye eyes eye eye eye eyes closed
Eye eye eye eyes
So I'll keep dancin' with my
Eye eye eye eyes eye eye eye eyes closed
Eye eye eye eyes oh, I keep dancin' with my

They're shutting the bar
They're cleanin' the floor
And everyone is already home
But, I'm on my own

Still dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my

Eye eye eye eyes eye eye eye eyes closed
Eye eye eye eyes oh, I keep dancin' with my
Eye eye eye eyes eye eye eye eyes closed
Eye eye eye eyes oh, I keep dancin' with my

About the song Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed

Ed Sheeran: "This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together. You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it."

This is a very strong song, especially the impressive opening of the music video where Ed appears to be drowning in a car. Actually, it's almost as if it's a way to express the tragedy that has happened to him. Everything was good, and then bam, the car suddenly sinks and he is left without his friend, without someone to talk to. As the lyrics go on, he shows just how difficult it is for him. People are having fun at the bar, but he sits alone with his beer glass, and it seems to me that there's an owl there, not some other animal. The owl is always with him, always watching him, and can be found nearby, whether it's in the bathroom or wherever he is. This is truly an impressive work. The musical range is quite unique to me, though it is a song. In reality, there are many sad songs with different musical accompaniment, but this is unusual - I must say! It's unusual to listen to all of this. I can even say that I didn't understand it all at first, maybe because there was some preview, some news regarding what this song is about. Nonetheless, in the end, I understood everything, and the meaning reached me.

The blue beast symbolizes the weight of loss and the grief that follows the death of a loved one, with blue being Jamal's favorite color as previously noted by Ed.
