Blinded
Yung Lean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Five star life, stay reminded
Bitch I done grinding
I pull up with designer if you with it leave lean it
All these lights leave you blinded
Five star life, stay reminded
Bitch I done grinding
I pull up with designer if you with it lean behind it
Bitch I'm cruising down the black lodge with black wrist watch
Got a bad bitch sipping scotch popping tick-tocks
Pull up with a black car gotta hit the snack bar
Mitsubishi cruising down the lanes like its NASCAR
They say I'm too bizarre, but I don't make it this far
Might smoke a fat jetpack out to Myanmar
Feeling like a movie star, counting stacks with my boys in a sushi bar
Uh no you won't get this far, bitch I bet you know who we are
Wake up and I see dark, never let the dogs bark
Leave you looking like a question mark
I be stuntin' overseas, all my boys ride for lean
Bands to the ceiling, smoke away all my feelings
I be, I be getting rich bitch
I just came to say
Left an addict, I guess I meant that i'm an addict
You can't spit, my money standing looking like cabbage
Ashes steady taking trips living lavish
The lyrics of Yung Lean's song "Blinded" convey a sense of opulence and success, but also the loneliness and disorientation that can come with living such a fast-paced lifestyle. The repeated refrain "All this ice leave me blinded/Five star life, stay reminded/Bitch I done grinding/I pull up with designer if you with it leave lean it" is both a celebration of material wealth and a reminder that success comes at a price. The "ice" the rapper refers to is likely a reference to high-end jewelry, but it also serves as a metaphor for the way success can obscure one's vision, making it hard to see what really matters in life. The line "Bitch I'm cruising down the black lodge with black wrist watch/Got a bad bitch sipping scotch popping tick-tocks/Pull up with a black car gotta hit the snack bar" paints a picture of the rapper living the high life, but the last line of the verse - "Leave you looking like a question mark" - suggests that he's not entirely sure what he's doing or where he's going.
The image of cruising down the black lodge is particularly interesting, as it suggests both luxury and danger - a lodge is typically associated with warmth and comfort, but the darkness of the "black" lodge implies that danger lurks within. This sense of danger is echoed later in the song, when Yung Lean raps "Feeling like a movie star, counting stacks with my boys in a sushi bar/Uh no you won't get this far, bitch I bet you know who we are/Wake up and I see dark, never let the dogs bark/Leave you looking like a question mark" - again, there's a sense that the rapper is living a glamorous and exciting life, but that this comes with its own set of risks and uncertainties.
Overall, "Blinded" is a song that both celebrates and critiques the rapper's own success. The repeated refrain of "All this ice leave me blinded/Five star life, stay reminded" suggests that Yung Lean is both proud of his achievements and aware that they may be blinding him to the truth of his own life. The verses, meanwhile, paint a vivid picture of a life that is both exciting and dangerous, glamorous and uncertain.
