Open Lead Single | The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond (2012) \u201cEyes Open\u201d is a song written and recorded by Taylor for the soundtrack album The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond (2012). The lyrics encourage Katniss Everdeen to survive the games by staying alert. The song is not included in the film but was released as the lead single from the album. The re-recording of the song, titled \u201cEyes Open (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d, was released on March 17, 2023, via Republic Records.\u201dEyes Open\u201d was one of two songs that Taylor wrote and recorded for the soundtrack to the film The Hunger Games, the other one being \u201cSafe &#038; Sound\u201c. She first premiered the song during a performance in Auckland (New Zealand) on her \u201cSpeak Now World Tour\u201d (2011-2012). Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme Taylor read The Hunger Games before she wrote the songs so she could really delve into Katniss\u2019s character. In the Hunger Games, 24 kids are chosen from each district, some by lottery, some train for it their whole lives. They all head to the Capitol for the annual Hunger Games. The competitors are placed in an arena with cameras filming their every move. Everybody is \u201cwatching to see the fallout\u201d. The kids\u2019 main goal is to kill all the other competitors. If they manage to do this they win the games and get to live the rest of their life within their district. Taylor said: \u00abI wrote it about Katniss\u2019 relationship with the Capitol. It basically serves as a warning for her not to trust anyone, in many ways it is the opposite of \u2018Safe &#038; Sound.\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift Besides the meaning linked to The Hunger Games, \u201cEyes Open\u201d can be interpreted as something more. It is a metaphor for what happens when you grow up, step into real life and realize you\u2019re on your own and everything depends on you, while in your early years you were looking forward to that; and then suddenly you realize life as an adult is pretty different from how you imagined it. Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cEyes Open\u201d during one of her last stops on the \u201cSpeak Now World Tour\u201d in Auckland (New Zealand) on March 17, 2012. It was part of the encore. She notably also sang the song during her concert for VH1 Storytellers in October 2012. Twelve years later, Taylor chose \u201cEyes Open\u201d as the first surprise song for her \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d show on February 8, 2024, in Tokyo. Before playing the song acoustically on guitar, she said: \u00abWish me luck because this is the maiden voyage of this song on this tour. I can\u2019t remember ever playing this live before, but I love this one, and I really relate to it. It really resonates with me a lot, which makes sense because I wrote it. But I wrote it for a soundtrack. It was originally written for the Hunger Games soundtrack. It\u2019s called \u2018Eyes Open!\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift Critical Reception \u201cEyes Open\u201d garnered critical acclaim from contemporary critics \u2014 most of whom favorably noted the song\u2019s more rock-oriented tone as compared to Taylor\u2019s previous releases. While reviewing The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond, Matt Bjorke named \u201cEyes Open\u201d one of the \u201cstandouts\u201d on the record. Scott Shetler of Pop Crush gave the song four stars saying that \u201cEyes Open\u201d \u201cbridges the gap between Swift\u2019s typical radio-friendly tales about the teenage experience and her most recent release, the mature, haunting ballad \u2018Safe &#038; Sound&#8217;\u201d, but described the production of the song to be \u201cthe least country-sounding song Swift has ever recorded.\u201d Jason Lipshutz of Billboard also found the same description of the song \u2013 stating that it \u201c[exists] more in the modern rock vein than her usual country-pop oeuvre.\u201d Commercial Performance \u201cEyes Open\u201d entered the Billboard Hot 100 as the Hot Shot Debut at No. 19 with sales of 176,000 in its first week. It debuted on the Billboard Pop Songs chart at No. 28, making it Taylor\u2019s highest Pop Songs chart debut at the time, later overtaken by \u201cWe Are Never Ever Getting Back Together\u201d which debuted at No. 18. It became Taylor\u2019s 16th million-seller and her second million-seller from the soundtrack to The Hunger Games. \u201cEyes Open\u201d has sold 1.4 million copies in the US as of November 2017. Accolades In 2012, \u201cEyes Open\u201d won the award for \u201cChoice Single by a Female Artist\u201d at the Teen Choice Awards. Taylor\u2019s Version A re-recorded version of \u201cEyes Open\u201d, titled \u201cEyes Open (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d, was released by Taylor on March 17, 2023, via Republic Records. The song is part of her re-recordings following the dispute over the ownership of the masters of her older discography. Lyrics [Intro]Everybody\u2019s waitingEverybody\u2019s watchingEven when you\u2019re sleepingKeep your ey-eyes open [Verse 1]The tricky thingIs yesterday we were just childrenPlaying soldiers, just pretendingDreaming dreams with happy endingsIn backyards, winning battles with our wooden swordsBut now we\u2019ve stepped into a cruel worldWhere everybody stands and keeps scoreKeep your eyes open [Chorus]Everybody\u2019s waiting for you to breakdownEverybody\u2019s watching to see the falloutEven when you\u2019re sleeping, sleepingKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes open [Verse 2]So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guardEvery lesson forms a new scarThey never thought you\u2019d make it this farBut turn around (Turn around)Oh, they\u2019ve surrounded youIt\u2019s a showdown (Showdown)And nobody comes to save you nowBut you\u2019ve got something they don\u2019tYeah, you\u2019ve got something they don\u2019tYou just gotta keep your ey-eyes open [Chorus]Everybody\u2019s waiting for you to breakdownEverybody\u2019s watching to see the falloutEven when you\u2019re sleeping, sleepingKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes [Bridge]Keep your feet readyHeartbeat steadyKeep your eyes openKeep your aim lockedThe night goes darkKeep your eyes open (Keep your eyes open) [Chorus]Everybody\u2019s waiting for you to breakdownEverybody\u2019s watching to see the falloutEven when you\u2019re sleeping, sleepingKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes openKeep your ey-eyes
