Ed Sheeran Eyes Closed
ED SHEERAN IS reflecting on the hardest moments of his life on Subtract‘s lead single, “Eyes Closed.” On Friday, the British singer released the emotional pop track along with its cinematic music video that follows the artist as he wanders from bar to diner, accompanied by a big, blue monster symbolizing his grief.
“Just dancin’ with my eyes closed/’Causе everywhere I look, I still see you/Time is movin’ so slow/And I don’t know what else that I can do/So I’ll keep dancin’ with my eyes closed,” Sheeren sings for the chorus.
“This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together,” Sheeran said of the song in a statement. “You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it.”
