Blind.
โ— Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since the day I left you I hear your voice in every sound
Since the day I left you I see your face in every crowd
It won't go away

But every time I feel you near
I close my eyes and turn to stone
Cause now the only thing I fear
Is seeing youโ€™re better off alone
Yeah

Cut out my eyes and leave me blind
Cut out my eyes and leave me blind

With the weight of the world upon me I canโ€™t hold my head up high
So if you see me on the street turn away or walk on by

Cause after the beauty weโ€™ve destroyed
Iโ€™m cascading through the void
I know in time my heart will mend
I donโ€™t care if I never see you again
Yeah

Cut out my eyes and leave me blind
Cut out my eyes and leave me blind

Girl, I told you
After all weโ€™ve been through
I don't wanna be by myself
Girl, I told you
That it would tear me in two
If I see you with someone else

Cut out my eyes, And leave me blind




Cut out my eyes, And leave me blind
Cut out my eyes, And leave me blind

Wow, thankfully they weren't killed or injured. You would think such friendly fire incidents from aircraft would be rare these days given our level of technology, but it goes to show even with the most sophisticated equipment known to man, people can still screw up.

Military Arms Channel the fog of war is a powerful beast

@mikewilliams258

Military Arms Channel Especially if the people are Americans.

@deanrhinehardt2717

Mike Williams dog of war isnโ€™t exclusive to Americans, literally every force on the planet has and deals with the fog of war during combat. In fact the United States does very well in the fog of war due to how well trained our men are
