Staind - Eyes Wide Open Lyrics






The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just want to be done with you faking
For the taking but I'm wicked
Up to the fact that you're lying, and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just sick!
It's just sick!

Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done
And you've broken the notion of trust
Cause you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just sick!
It's just sick!

Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done

All the damage is done!
All the damage is done!

Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Force my hand
When my eyes are wide open

Lying and denying is just sick!
Lying and denying is just sick!

It's just sick!

  1. M.... K....

    Was this recorded on a potato??

  2. J.... E....

    Fuck yea

  3. E.... A....

    0:17 "Ouhh waaah aaaah aaah aaaah!!!"... oh wait... wrong song...

  4. D.... H....

    I fuckinglove this song and a Paper Wings

  5. G.... Z....

    We miss you guys, make some new music it's been 8 years

  6. F.... L....

    My favorite Staind album for sure, this is just a masterpiece.

  7. D.... ....

    Su mejor álbum

  8. L.... H....

    Why does this sound like absolute ASS? It sounds like someone turned the on the mega bass switch on a 80's Sony Boombox.

    L.... H....

    I noticed the same thing.

  9. a.... ....

    who ever runs this channel should be fired When a band's channel has lower sound quality then fan's channels ....gees

  10. W.... G....

    I want to go to a rock concert to shake my dreads id stick out because I'm more rap but i love rock

  11. A.... B....

    If I ever won the lottery, I would use my winnings to get these guys together and play for my hometown. Miss these guys

    A.... B....

    I dont know where You Live but Staind will be in LouisVille Kentucky in September

  12. M.... ....

    I saw the beard too, but does anyone else notice that the guitar sounds bass boosted in the video? Mushok's heavy guitar parts always have a hint of that, but it's never this bad. Don't get me wrong, I love Staind, I love this album, and I love this song, but this particular video seems to have overly bassy guitar parts.

    M.... ....

    That's because it's a baritone guitar. Longer scale.

  13. C.... J....

    This must be wrong... It says I'm viewer #10

  14. P.... Z....

    This song IS JUST SICK! lml

    Joe Rogan.

    S.... ....

    Joe " I'm not in Staind' Rogan

  20. A.... P....

    They disbanded for no reason!

  21. P.... C....

    This song describes my current feelings about Facebook, to some extent. Especially the part that says "you're lying and denying all the actions you take".

  22. S.... ....

    I live in the faint hope that Staind will one day return, but if they dont then what an awesome final album it was from them.

    S.... ....

    At okc he teased they were coming back... said they may or may not have 5 shows planned this year. And they may or may not be working on an album

  23. p.... g....

    that scream Aaron Lewis did was so good

  24. J.... G....

    This song is too damn bad ass. Definite headband. Staind is awesome.

  25. p.... g....

    IT'S JUST SICK!!!!!!
    IT'S JUST SICK!!!!!!

  26. J.... G....

    I haven't heard this in awhile. Glad i stumbled on it

  27. J.... S....

    I what will happen if that was Linkin Park Singing Song

  28. F.... R....

  29. L.... ....

    Munching Metal..... Don't cha just luv the grind?!? STAIND has a truly classic awesome sound that Country music cannot compete with or compare

  32. D.... ....

    This is so well-made, aggressive, and powerful, that I can play it over 60 times and it's as excellent EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
    Reunite soon, Staind, we all miss you.

  34. T.... C....

    BRUTAL SOUND

  35. C.... T....

    no puedo dejar de escucharlo

  36. B.... T....

    I ate a potatoe

  37. N.... F....

    Why was he wearing a different shirt in every shot?

    N.... F....

    different shows mixed together

    N.... F....

    different shows mixed together

    N.... F....

    Nino Falletta Clips from a few different concerts. Different shirts, clean shaved or scruffy beard. I'm not trying to be a smartass or sarcastic, just pointing that out for ya.

    N.... F....

    Jerry Asbury Are people seriously that dumb??????

  38. s.... ....

    Holy shit, where did that beard go?

  39. S.... ....

    Don't think you can get away with the stubble one moment and no facial hair another moment from me Aaron Lewis!

  40. C.... ....

    Staind would love to see you come to Gloucester to play one day if possible.one of my favourite bands

  41. C.... ....

    Prayers for Teresa God can heal you

  45. S.... C....

    They're awesome live!

    S.... C....

    Best live band I've seen

  46. S.... ....

    1:56 Hatebreed shirt. Long live hardcore.

  47. J.... P....

    Awesome he can go from being clean shaving to having a beard in about 2 seconds LOL!!!!!!! great song

  48. J.... G....

    The first time I heard this it threw me off

    J.... G....

    +Jeremiah Garcia same here, im not used to this kind of music from them, i like it.

    J.... G....

    Jeremiah Garcia check out some of their early work

    J.... G....

    To me about the only difference between their new stuff aka "this" & their old stuff aka "dysfunction" they're equally heavy, but this has guitar solos, the old stuff was mostly just riffs.

  49. a.... ....

    For the longest time videos were uploaded in 240p on this channel , now its in the proper 480P and the sound is still shitty. WTF? I mean this is Staind's own channel right???

  50. P.... P....

    Ke poderosa canción!!!

  51. m.... ....

    this should have 4 million views 

    m.... ....

    mattknot21 i agree

    m.... ....

    In the 90's... maybe

  52. C.... W....

    I wish he still played his rock. Country just sucks.

    C.... W....

    He does still play his rock shit lmao

    C.... W....

    Christa Walden This is what he does best, sadly Staind will never record another album, the documentary of the last album showed that there was a lot of tension and the band weren't getting on too well 😣

  53. P.... H....

    Staind Record 2014 please

    P.... H....

    Maybe 2019

  62. J.... H....

    BEATLESGUYEM , IS THE WIENER YOU THOUGHT HE WAS AFTER ALL. SA.

  63. t.... ....

    This is one of their heaviest songs since tormented and break the cycle

    t.... ....

    Dont forget about raw

    t.... ....

    don't forget about "Can't Believe" and "Spleen"

  64. T.... ....

    Hey, where can I buy one of those mops that plays guitar?

    T.... ....

    lmao XD

  65. J.... C....

    I feel their earlier music is much more "brutal" They do kill live shows most def!

  66. S.... ....

    whats on aarons mic stand? 2:45 ?

    S.... ....

    Water bottle

  67. N.... C....

    Saw them live, just awesome! One of my fave bands

  68. E.... ....

    sorry, i shoulda said "i don't like this". But i really don't see what the "beating you with a wallet" part is all about? does that mean justin bieber and kesha make good music? cause they have full wallets? and fyi, no i don't live in my mom's basement, it's actually part of my job to do some musical research (via youtube and others). and im vegan so no hot pockets for me...

  69. M.... B....

    distorted sounding

  70. S.... A....

    Are you retarded or something? Staind's music is about true emotions and real circumstances written from their personal lives. Which more people can relate the brutalities of everyday life and issues that the band deals with daily. You say this sucks yet I bet they could beat you to death with their wallets for making amazing music. Yet, you will probably be one of those kids still living at home in mommies basement beating your pud and telling her what flavor hot pocket to get you for dinner.

  71. E.... ....

    fuck this sucks

  72. c.... ....

    anyone else notice Aaron shaved at 1:18 and it grew back by 1:26. Take that Chuck Norris!

  73. k.... ....

    44 dislikes? 44 people who don't need to be hear!

  74. k.... p....

  75. N.... l....

  76. d.... e....

  80. N.... B....

    Miluju tuhle písničku!

  81. R.... M....

    Gay fucking troll

  82. I.... ....

    They were able to get David Blaine backstage to handle that shit.

  83. Z.... S....

  84. G.... T....

  85. K.... ....
