About Analyse

"Analyse" is a pop rock song recorded by Irish band The Cranberries. It was the first single from their fifth studio album, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, released in 2001. The promotional video, directed by Keir McFarlane, had to be edited in consequence of the 9/11 attacks, which was partly responsible for the single's low chart positions in their native Ireland (number 28, their eleventh and last top-forty hit there) and the United Kingdom (number 89, their first single to miss the top 40 since "Animal Instinct"), but it became a top-ten hit in Italy, Poland and Spain.

Close your eyes close your eyes
Breathe the air out there
We are free, we can be wide open

For you opened my eyes, to the beauty I see
We will pray, we will stay wide open

Don't analyse, don't analyse
Don't go that way, don't live that way
That would paralyse your evolution

La ah ah this greatest moment
La ah ah the greatest day
La ah ah the greatest love of them all

Close your eyes, close your eyes
Breathe the air, out there
Fantasise, fantasise we are open

For you opened my eyes, to the beauty I see
We will pray, we will stay together

La ah ah this greatest moment
La ah ah the greatest day
La ah ah The greatest love of them all
