It is A reflective, laid back, guitar-driven track highlighting his unique vocals that brim with soul and passion.
‘This song is about relationship breakdown. When you are trying to be aware of absolutely everything and you kind of miss what is happening right in front of you, hence the title Wide Eyed Blind’.
Saint Raymond
Although this single describes an emotional breakdown on a relationship, the music presents a lively atmosphere, as the music contains an uptempo, frenetic rhythm and melody, which is upbeat and cheery. The music could resemble the optimistic side of moving on and the lyrics, and the vocals could symbolise the heartbreak which the individual feels about the relationship demolishing.
Wide-eyed, blind to the fact
You were one thing to my face
And another behind my back
And whilst you were kissing my cheek
You were kicking me in the teeth
And I gotta live with that
In my head every word you’ve said
Is playing on my mind, I was
Wide-eyed blind, wide-eyed blind
