Fermons Les Yeux Lyrics in English Kyo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fermons Les Yeux by Kyo from French to English.
What are these borders still
That can separate people
Like other prayers or other ways
But what always drives us
To raise so many barriers
Fear, honor or pride
Let's close our eyes
Let's close them if we want
To see beyond the face
But which mirror, then
That'll give us the power
To see ourselves, basically
Just as we are
But what will help us
To live differently
Gestures, words or time
Let's close our eyes
Let's close them if we want
To see beyond faces
Let's close our eyes
Let's close them just a bit
Let's open our hearts more
We'll have to end
All those lifeless looks
Do you finally hear the screams
That only want silence
Let's close our eyes
Let's close them if we want
To see beyond faces
Let's close our eyes
Let's close them just a bit
Let's open our hearts more

SONG MEANING

Kyo’s “Fermons Les Yeux” is an invitation to shut our eyes just long enough to truly see. The lyrics question the invisible borders that split people apart—fear, pride, ego—and wonder why we keep building them. By asking Quelles sont encore ces frontières ?, the song nudges us to look past labels and appearances, searching for a mirror that reflects who we really are beneath the surface.

Closing our eyes becomes a gentle rebellion: a brief pause that lets the heart, not the eyes, do the viewing. When sight is switched off, empathy switches on, and the chorus urges us to ouvrir nos cœurs davantage—to open our hearts wider. The message is clear: trade shallow glances for deeper understanding, let the noise fall silent, and end the “extinguished looks” that keep us apart. In just a few minutes, Kyo turns a simple sensory act into a hopeful roadmap for unity.
