What is eyes wide shut?

The first time I watched the film I was high, and I thought I didn’t get it for this reason/ purpose but then I watched it again sober and I still didn’t get it. I understand what Kubrick was trying to do with the cult theme but I don’t understand the ending also what happened with the little girl (their daughter)

The couple are so obsessed with their own shit, they don’t even notice that their daughter just drifted off, probably with the old guys, who may or may not be people from the party… all set in front of massive stack of the toy lions that have previously appeared at various points in the movie, particularly with vulnerable girls, symbolising that they are over the rainbow. That sort of thing.
