29 Eyes Open diska kantatha minn Taylor Swift Il-messa©©i li nixtieq no˙ro© minn din id-diska huma li ma nistg˙ux nibqg˙u mwa˙˙lin fil- passat, g˙andna nitg˙allmu nag˙mlu pass ‘il quddiem g˙alkemm mhux dejjem façli g˙al kul˙add. Il-˙in ma jistenna lil ˙add u Ω-Ωmien jibqa’ igerbeb, g˙alhekk, kif il-Mulej ©arr is-salib tieg˙u, huwa dejjem lest jg˙inna biex in©orru s-salib tag˙na, u dak il-“baggage” kollu li kull wie˙ed u wa˙da minna j©orr kuljum. Irridu naffrontaw id-dinja, bil-˙aΩin u bit-tajjeb kollu tag˙ha u rridu nkunu b’sa˙˙itna biΩΩejjed biex neg˙lbu l-ostakli u lil xi persuni li jippruvaw jag˙mlulna l-˙sara, kif ukoll, nammettu f’dawk il-mumenti fejn infallu, u jkollna bΩonn l- g˙ajnuna t’Alla. B’hekk, l-isem tad-diska “ Eyes Open” g˙andha tfakkarna li g˙andna nkunu lesti g˙al dak li ©ej quddiemna, fit-tajjeb u l-˙aΩin, u n˙allu dak li g˙adda warajna.  The tricky thing Is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers Just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords But now we’ve stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands and keeps score Keep your eyes open Everybody’s waiting for you to break down Everybody’s watching to see the fallout Even when you’re sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought you’d make it this far But turn around (turn around), oh they’ve surrounded you It’s a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now But you’ve got something they don’t Yeah you’ve got something they don’t You’ve just gotta keep your eyes open
