Discover the story of the song > Close Your Eyes – Josh Krajcik

The protagonist is warning someone to close their eyes before they hurt someone. The protagonist mentions that they don't know what the person they're hurting might do in response, and that it's like cutting a strong person in two. The protagonist also mentions that they don't want their partner to see what others are doing to them, as it would cause great pain. Despite the pain, the protagonist can't look away from their partner's beautiful face, even though it's bittersweet because it hurts them. The protagonist ends by saying that just like you can't stare at the sun or unshoot a gun, the person should close their eyes before causing more harm.
