"Eyes Closed" lyrics

"Eyes Closed"

I could do this with my eyes closed

I'm back from the dead
From the back of my head
Been gone and facing horrors
That should never be said
The wrath and the grit
From the pit of despair
Been taking every whip and word
I've never been spared

They say tomorrow's never promised, honest
They say the angels are among us

Lock me up in a maze
Turn out, turn out the lights
I was born, I was raised for this
Turn out, turn out the lights

Lock me up inside a cage
Just throw away the key, don't worry 'bout me
I was driving in my car, throwing up my hands
Put it in coast

I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed

Less medications, less manifestations
Mantras, meditation, throw it all away

All the places I've been
All the blood that I've bled
I've been broken down and beat up
But I still get ahead
All the faceless embraces
And the tasteless two faces
Killed and resurrected
'Cause I'll never be dead

They say tomorrow's never promised, honest
They say that piranhas are among us

Lock me up in a maze
Turn out, turn out the lights
I was born, I was raised for this
Turn out, turn out the lights
(Turn out the lights)

Lock me up inside a cage
Just throw away the key, don't worry 'bout me
I was driving in my car, throwing up my hands
Put it in coast

I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes—

And when the day broke, buried in violence
Something made my mind up
I will spend these days as an island
Alone and far away

Lock me up in a maze
Turn out, turn out the lights (Turn out the lights)
I was born, I was raised for this
Turn out, turn out the lights

Lock me up inside a cage
Just throw away the key, don't worry 'bout me
I was driving in my car, throwing up my hands
Put it in coast

I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I could do this with my eyes closed

"Eyes Closed" and its music video were released on the 3rd of April, 2024, after several cryptic teasers Imagine Dragons had posted on their social-media accounts with one of them on Instagram on the 15th of March, 2024: "I think as a band we've found ourselves, and I don't think we've ever been more sure of ourselves," Dan Reynolds said in the video with the flashing words "We can do this with our eyes closed". Another snippet of the song was featured in a Jeep commercial published the next day.
To promote this single, Imagine Dragons launched a webpage enter.imaginedragonsmusic.com where visitors entered an ancient temple with four doors. The first door was unlocked on the 27th of March, 2024. Upon entering it, five questions were asked about Imagine Dragons to designated a visitor to a "team" to solve some puzzles leading to the song's release.
