eyelids

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they are raised up' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'anyone to see' is the wordplay.
'anyone' becomes 'lids' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'see' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lids' put after 'eye' is 'EYELIDS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyelids that I've seen before include "covers for lamps" , "They drop in sleep" , "covers for lights?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
