HFK Analysis- "Eyes Closed"
Added 2023-01-12 23:22:20 +0000 UTCI discuss how Halsey uses diction, symbolism and an array of literary devices to establish a central tone in their song, "Eyes Closed".

This is a really good point that I hadn't picked up on until you pointed it out! You are so right, though! The juxtaposition creates a conflict of emotions here, and I love it!

2023-01-15 20:39:41 +0000 UTCYeah this song is so relatable. Like when you try to move on too fast from someone you loved so much but it was a toxic relationship, so you know that you should move on but when you try you just think about your ex. And partially could be doing it to get back at them and make them jealous perhaps.

With that said, The Weeknd co-wrote this with Halsey! He wrote the music part and Halsey of course wrote the lyrics. Thought that was cool.

2023-01-13 04:12:13 +0000 UTCI like the conflict of being βface to face with someone newβ, yet keeping your eyes closed to the whole thing. I feel like itβs a juxtaposition of closeness and being removed from the situation.

2023-01-13 02:05:08 +0000 UTCI love how throughout the album you almost go backwords in time through the relationship. Learning more as you progress. I feel like in 100 Letters she's fully over it, just giving an overview. But then here with the "Tell me how to move on" she's still attached. It's so fun and you learn a little bit about the relationship with each piece
