Harsh criticism of Shervin Hajipoor’s song ‘Close Your Eyes’
A young person writes that in the song ‘Close Your Eyes’, Shervin Hajipoor advises those who are in such a mental state to continue betraying their life partners through secrecy instead of getting a divorce from someone they have no feelings or emotional attachment to, using completely educational songs.
This government-backed newspaper, in continuation of the article, published a photo along with this song, in which a young woman with a sad and depressed face is shown next to a young and smiling man holding their curly-haired baby boy. The published image, along with the content of the song, implies to the audience that the woman in the photo is the same person who, despite having a husband and child, has an illicit relationship with another man, as suggested by the references in the lyrics. The listener, who is in the same terrible position of this love triangle, wants the woman to hide her illicit relationship from her husband and even pretend to be interested in her spouse.
