Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes when you sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
Closing my eyes brings me lots of benefits
It's like spray-on confidence
It helps me take the subject in better
And above all to remember my lyrics
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes when you sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
I close my eyes and I go on trips
I sing and in an instant I take off
That lets me imagine characters
And above all remember my lyrics
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes when you sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
But sometimes when I shut my eyelids
I wonder what's happening up front
Because it's not always in other universes
That the best novels unfold
When I open my eyes, I see the beauty around me
I meet lots of eyes, I get lots of love
I see boys I knew at school
And I don't mind forgetting my lyrics anymore
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes when you sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes when you sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
Open your eyes, Simon!
I open my eyes when I sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes when you sing
Open your eyes, Simon!
Open your eyes
I sing with my eyes open

SONG MEANING

Ouvre tes yeux, Simon! From the very first shout, Les Trois Accords pull us into a witty tug-of-war between daydreaming and real-world connection. The singer pokes fun at his friend Simon, who loves to croon with his eyes shut because it feels like "confidence in a spray can" and helps him remember every word. Eyes closed, Simon rockets through imaginary landscapes and invents colorful characters, all while clinging to the safety of his lyrics.

But the chorus keeps insisting: open your eyes! The song suggests that the most memorable stories are not always hiding in far-off galaxies; they are right in front of us, woven into the faces of friends, classmates, and an audience ready to share love and laughter. When Simon finally sings with eyes wide open, he might forget a line or two, yet he gains something far richer—a genuine, joyful connection with the world around him. The track is a playful reminder that creativity thrives both in imagination and in the simple act of being present.
