A) Open your eyes now
C Bb Em
Hear me out before I lose my mind

I've been waiting for hours
C Bb Em
Let the salt flow, feel my coil unwind
Em C#m
Give me a smile please
C Bb Em
Count the calm and watch my breathing slow
C#m
Winding me up tease
C Bb C#m C Bb G#
Get inside my head and make it show
C#m C Bb G#
B) oh your Gravity eyelids, gravity eyelids come down:/
A)Touching your oil skin
Slipping hands down past your waist to find
I've been waiting for hours
Let the salt flow, feel my coil unwind
Go to the edge swim
Brown the eyes that sleep has rendered blind
b) (here are the three vocals for the second chorus)
1. oh your Gravity eyelids, gravity eyelids come down
2. Come love so young with your gold arms so I wake her
3. Here's a will that will glow in the dark

| This site is evil. I thought Blackest Eyes was an awesome song; then I read here it was about rape. I thought this would be a good song to fuck to; it's about child molestation. Seriously...fuck you guys. Anyway, in the "song to fuck to" sense, this needs to be sung by a woman. Definitely. ---- I'm sorry you don't have the mental capacity to take this deeper than face value. Porcupine Tree songs are rarely sweet and kind beneath the surface. They wouldn't be genuine if they were. | |

| This is a hell of a sexy song. It is from In Absentia, but all the songs on that album have multiple meanings or ways they can be interpreted. Steven Wilson has also noted this one is about " a night by the Dead Sea." However the whole point of In Absentia's lyrics is to let people make what they will of them, whatever SW meant them to be about. | |

| When I heard this song, I thought of necrophilia... It's obviously sexual, with the coil and salt, everyone should know what that means. Covering the eyes with brown could refer to burying the body... Since dirt is brown, he certainly has raped or murdered the person he is doing this too. | |

| I got dissapointed when I read about the child molestation thing...it's such a seductive song...very hauntingly beautiful...I cried when I first heard it, of course that was in my "soft music phase" days, but I still love to listen to this song, it brings back memories (not sexual memories, but just good memories) Anyways, I think it would be a great song to make love to :) | |

| Hmmm, those dont match my interpretation at all.. I always thought of it as someone beside their sleeping lover, waiting for them to awake. | |

| I thought its about husband/wife having relationship problems regarding having sex. A man trying to have sex with his wife but she refuses... anyway you could be right guys. | |

| It seems, as i believe, that this song is about child molestation. And it could symbolise how people have the tendency to molest and abuse those who are weak and unable to defend themselves. This, obviously, results in the decadence and, in a way, death of the individual that is abused. Thus, the reference to gravity eyelids. | |

| The song is clearly sexual in nature, though I couldn't say whether it is or is not about child molestation. There is lyrical evidence to support the idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was about two young lovers or something else. Oh well, it's an amazing song nonetheless. | |
