Eyes Wide Shut is a 1999 drama film based upon Arthur Schnitzler's 1926 novella Traumnovelle. The film was directed, produced and co-written by Stanley Kubrick. It was his last film. The story, set in and around New York City, follows the sexually charged adventures of Dr. Bill Harford, who is shocked when his wife, Alice, reveals that she had contemplated an affair a year earlier. He embarks on a night-long adventure, during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an underground cult.
The film appeared on July 16, 1999, a few months after Kubrick's death, to generally positive critical reaction. Its strong sexual content also made it controversial. To ensure a theatrical R rating in the United States and Canada, its distributor Warner Bros. digitally altered several scenes during post-production. The uncut version has since been released on DVD. In early versions, the soundtrack featured during the masked orgy is part of a Romanian Orthodox Divine Liturgy recorded in a church in Baia Mare, played backwards. This was altered or removed in subsequent releases. The film also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest constant movie shoot, at 400 days.
Tangled in the webs that she weaves
Dangling in disbelief, trapped I can’t breathe
She’s the one that left me
Stranded feelin’ empty
Now I’m all alone reading the letters that she sent me
Tired of playing games
Tired of being in last place
I move to fast pace, who are you to judge
If only you can love the way you hate me, every things so shaky
Broken, lost, crushed, all the above
Too many mistakes, too many bad breaks and bad luck
Too many lies and closed eyes, now I’m stuck in a bad rut
You said you’d be committed from the beginning ‘till end
I can’t believe you said we’re better off just being friends
I can’t believe this
You can just walk away
I can’t believe this
Each and every other day
I can’t believe this
Now my mind is blown
I can’t believe
That I am all alone
EYES, into a place that I take you
WIDE, you see I just can’t replace you
SHUT, and now my heart it breaks in two
Follow, follow, Eyes Wide Shut
You thought you left me empty handed, stranded and broken hearted
Mistreated and cheated so take it back to where we started
To the first time we met and the first time we kissed
Together forever, well what have I missed
If only you can see just how I feel and what you mean to me
I never thought that you could walk away so easily
You said you needed space, now you’re out hanging with him
You said we can’t be lovers so I know we can’t be friends
I can’t believe this
You can just walk away
I can’t believe this
Each and every other day
I can’t believe this
Now my mind is blown
I can’t believe
That I am all alone
Just the other day
I looked at her, she looked at me and then she walked away
‘Cause I never really understood why
She could pass me by without giving us another try
So tell me what you’re looking for
‘Cause I don’t know no more
All I know is that I feel just like my hearts been torn
And I thought I was more than just a friend
And now you’re leaving me in the very end
And my vision is a blur
All I really know is that I loved her, I loved her
I can’t believe this
You can just walk away
I can’t believe this
Each and every other day
I can’t believe this
Now my mind is blown
I can’t believe
