+/- {Plus/Minus} - Xs on Your Eyes
Kicking off the Sunday best
Fist full of the sleeping pills
Missing the entire mess
Speeding by a van
Parked outside the house
Breaking through the door
To find you there but inside out
In a darkened room
Clutching for the switch
Eyes are closed and waiting for
The light to shine on
You took a breath and it held onto
All the blood flow through your skin
You wanted just to push it out
You had no reasons to hold out
Xs on your eyes
Blanked out from the bliss
One step from the bathroom door
And two from the abyss
There was no onе there
It seemed thеre never was
Waited for a lifetime ‘til
The light could shine on
You took a breath and it held onto
All the blood flow through your skin
You wanted just to push it out
You had no reasons to hold out
All the things that you never had before
No one gave to you things you needed more
In a faded room passed out on the floor
Finally you saw the light
You took a breath and it held onto
All the blood flow through your skin
You wanted just to push it out
You had no reasons to hold out
You took a breath and it held onto
Venom from the inside out
You wanted just to keep it in
You in the dark with no way out
Song Description:

The singer's haunting vocals add an extra layer of depth and emotion to the song, capturing the raw vulnerability and desperation of the protagonist.
As the song progresses, there is a glimmer of hope as the protagonist sees the light and realizes that there may be a way out of the darkness. The repeated motifs of taking a breath and holding on to life's fleeting moments highlight the struggle to find meaning and purpose amidst the chaos.
Overall, "Xs on Your Eyes" is a powerful and thought-provoking track that delves into the complexities of mental health, inner turmoil, and the search for inner peace. It's a raw and honest portrayal of the darkness that can consume us, but also a reminder that there is always a flicker of light waiting to shine through.
