JISOO X ZAYN “EYE CLOSED” Lyrics

English

Time is standing still and I don’t wanna leave your lips
Tracing my body with your fingertips
I know what you’re feeling and I know you wanna say it (Yeah, say it)
I do too, but we gotta be patient (Gotta be patient)

‘Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn’t work, yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don’t, damned if I do
You know, by now, we’ve seen it all

Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the namеs and the faces of who we wеre with
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed

Oh, oh, oh

I got tunnel vision every second that you’re with me
No, I don’t care what anybody says, just kiss me (Oh)

‘Cause you look like trouble, but it could be good
I’ve been the same, kind of misunderstood
Whatever you’ve done, trust, it ain’t nothing new
You know by now we’ve seen it all

Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed

Oh, oh, oh
Keep your eyes closed

‘Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn’t work, yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don’t, damned if I do
You know, by now, we’ve seen it all

Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed

Oh, with our eyes closed

JISOO X ZAYN “EYE CLOSED” Meaning

Jisoo unveiled the teaser video for Eyes Closed on her official Instagram, announcing that the song will be released worldwide on October 10 at 1 PM KST. This marks Jisoo’s first official collaboration with a male artist, instantly becoming one of the most anticipated global releases of the season.

Interestingly, their connection began earlier this year. On July 27, Zayn attended BLACKPINK’s New York concert with his daughter, Kai. After the show, he posted concert photos on his social media with the caption: “Thank you. Kai and I had the best time.” According to fans, Zayn and Jisoo reportedly met during that event — and even took a few photos together in the recording studio weeks later.

By taking part in the lyric writing, Jisoo once again proves her growth as an artist who doesn’t just perform — but also tells her own story through music.

In the song, the interplay between the kick drum and piano creates a compelling contrast that gives the track a romantic yet mature ballad feeling, effortlessly balancing tenderness with quiet strength. The gentle resonance of the piano evokes warmth and intimacy, while the steady pulse of the kick drum grounds the melody with emotional depth and determination. Together, they form a sonic dialogue that mirrors the delicate push and pull of human connection — the hesitation, the surrender, and the ultimate acceptance of love’s transformative power.

Beyond its musical beauty, the arrangement serves to deepen the song’s message of healing through love. By encouraging the listener to let go of judgment and fear, it invites an openness that allows genuine emotion to flow. The dynamics between the instruments seem to symbolize the process of breaking down one’s walls and learning to trust again, embracing vulnerability as both a source of pain and strength. In this way, the music becomes more than just accompaniment — it becomes an emotional landscape where love is not idealized, but understood as a brave act of release and renewal.
