“Eyes Wide Open“

by Gotye

So this is the end
Of the story

Everything we had
Everything we did

Is buried in dust

And this dust is
All that’s left of us

And only a few ever worried

While the signs were clear

They had no idea

You just get used
To living in fear

Or give up

When you can’t
Even picture your future

We walk the plank
With our eyes wide open

Some people
Offered up answers

We made out
Like we heard

They were only words

They didn’t add up

To a change in
The way we were living

And the saddest thing

Is all of it could
Have been avoided

Kelly J. says:

“I love this song by Gotye and I just listened to it after finishing Divergent and thought of how Tris and Four had to leave everything behind when they fled. They believed in Dauntless, and wanted to succeed in their faction, but there were so many lies, and no one wanted to hear the truth. Now the factions are at war, and they have to live in fear on the outskirts with Amity, plotting their next move. It’s so exciting, and so frightening, but their eyes are finally wide open.”

Awesome playlist Kelly! Thanks so much for sending it in!
