Genius Annotation

“Eyes Open” is one of two songs Taylor wrote for the soundtrack of the first Hunger Games movie, but it is not included in the film. The song appears to be about Katniss’s relationship with the Capitol, and serves as a warning for her not to trust anyone.

Taylor teased the song at a concert in Auckland prior to its release, performing it on an acoustic guitar to give fans a feel for the track. It debuted on Billboard Top 100 at number 19 and was received with general critical acclaim from contemporary critics.
