Eyes Open...

So for those who actually read my blog, I'm sure you noticed I haven't been on here in a while. I've been going through and dealing with some things I'd rather not get into but I heard this song a couple of weeks ago and I've been thinking of it a lot.
Now to be honest, I have never been much of a Taylor Swift fan but this song speaks volumes to me. I've read mixed reviews on it, mostly because it is the theme song to The Hunger Games, so a lot of people don't understand it.
I however can actually relate to it.

¶ Everybody's waiting; Everybody's watching; Even when you're sleeping;

Keep your eyes open.

The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children, Playing soldiers, Just pretending.
Dreaming dreams with happy endings. ♫
 
♪  In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords.
 But now we've stepped into a cruel world; 
Where everybody stands and keeps score; Keep your eyes open. ♪

♫ Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown. Everybody's watching to see the fallout.
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping:
Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. ♫

♪ So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard.
Every lesson forms a new scar. They never thought you'd make it this far.  ♪

♪ But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you;
It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now;
But you've got something they don't, Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open.  ♪

♫ Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown. Everybody's watching to see the fallout.
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping:
Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes... ♫

♪ Keep your feet ready, Heartbeat steady, Keep your eyes open.
Keep your aim locked; The night goes dark, Keep your eyes open.
Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. ♪

♫ Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown. Everybody's watching to see the fallout.

Even when you're sleeping, sleeping:
Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open. Keep your eyes open.
Keep your eyes open... ¶
