![]() ![]() This could be after she’s killed herself, or maybe just after she revealed contemplating it. If I could have just one more wish, I’d wipe the cobwebs from my eyes.” “I know I’ve been so hard on you, I know I told you lies. She’s also offering herself up to death, believing it will finally bring her peace. The woman feels like she’s been hurt by the man, maybe even suspects he enjoys hurting her. And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkened grave?” “You’re like a dagger, stick me the heart and taste the blood from my blade. The second line is him accusing her of telling him lies in their relationship, but it could also be death giving her an ominous warning about suicide. I think the first line is strictly the man singing about how he wants nothing more than to spend his life with her, but she’s made it so difficult that it might not be possible. It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me.” “Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams. It could also be death enticing her with the promise of a more literal heaven and stating that he doesn’t show any discrimination or mercy based on the kind of life someone had. This could be the man offering her a life of love and partnership, but he’s frustrated and doesn’t know how to help her deal with a traumatic childhood experience of hers that puts a strain on their relationship. What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?” “Heaven is in the palm of my hands and it’s waiting here for you. The woman in the song clearly had a traumatic life and the relationship with the man has been tumultuous, and she’s now at a point where’s she’s either going to embrace love or embrace death. Mark from ChicagoI actually interpret this song to have dual meanings, one about love and one about death/suicide.George Pope from Richmond, BcMark from Chicago, sort of a "To be or not to be" motif? I can see Ozzy borrowing from classic literature for concepts/inspiration.The woman begs to herself and through prayer for her boyfriend or husband to forgive her and he will not and tells her that even if you take your life in sacrifice he still will not forgive her, BTW Has only ever directly asked FORD or OSBOURNE the story/meaning of this song? PLEASE DO IT! And the Man cannot forgive her and is so depressed that he commits suicide soon after. Pedro Sanchez, Professional Mexican from Chattanooga, TnCLOSE YOUR EYES by Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne what was it about - The woman, either accidentally like leaving a baby in a hot car too long OR killed the baby via "Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP)" or pure neglect killed the baby.Good song, but definitely a product of its time. Back then, it was all about the hook.I love hooks personally, but they need to have a foundation too. Perry from 77598I doubt the song had any real meaning, aside from subconscious annotations. ![]() The only place I can love you the way you need to be loved is from the grave. I tried to love you, but your hurt and the toll your pain took on you made it too painful to bear. Or, it hurts that she is hanging onto to her love and if she truly loved him, she'll let him go. This either means to be with me again, you've got to let this love die. The only place they can be together in truth is in the cemetery where their love is laid to rest. "Would you shelter me in your warm and darkened grave". They deeply love each other, but their love has been fractured beyond repair.
