Harnack Cover photos by Franz Schepers ’My Eyes Are Wide Open’ is about the feeling of responsibility towards the things or people that surround us, accompany us and mean so much to us. Sometimes, unfortunately, we forget all too quickly how valuable these things, these feelings, these moments are, because they seem so self-evident to us ... until we miss them painfully. But there is also this despair at our arrogance, our blindness to the beauty that surrounds us, which does not allow us to open our eyes to what is essential, but also all too fragile and transient in this world ... and who knows how long this beauty will remain with us. Lyrics Deep inside I feel we don’t know the world Sometimes I wish we’d fail … Deep inside I know we deserve the dirt of our self-caused play … My eyes are wide open, I watch how the clouds roll by And then in the distance, how faintly, awakes the dawning light My eyes are wide open, I suddenly realise How fragile’s the beauty around us that we should learn to price Lay your head on me, oh my little boy! Where will it lead us here? Each day together we should enjoy and forget all our fears … See the fire how it burns our places down! See how hungry it demolishes our crown!
