In "Eyes Wide Closed," 2hollis describes a secret, intense physical relationship where aggression and desire blur together. The repeated image of eyes wide closed captures the contradiction of being fully present yet willfully blind, surrendering to something that feels both thrilling and shameful. The demand to be treated with hatred suggests a need for intensity that overrides tenderness, while the insistence that no one can know reveals the weight of hiding it. The song lingers in the tension between craving something raw and knowing it must stay buried.
Eyes Wide Closed Lyrics by 2hollis
Eyes wide closed
Repeat like a metronome
Fuck me like you hate me, oh
Fuck me like you hate me, oh (Fuck)
Eyes wide closed
This some shit that I won’t tell a soul (Tell)
This some shit that no one gotta know
(Don’t gotta know, ain’t gotta know)
Don’t gotta know
Eyes wide closed
Repeat like a metronome
Eyes wide closed
It’s some shit that I won’t tell a soul
Fuck me like you hate me, oh, fuck me like you hate me, oh, uh, h-hate me, oh
This some shit that no one gotta know
Don’t gotta know, ain’t gotta know
Don’t gotta know
