Blind
♥ Placebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And guarantee source divine
Rid you of possessions fleeting
Remain your funny valentine
Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
If I could tear you from the ceiling
I know the best have tried
I'd fill your every breath with meaning
And find the place we both could hide
Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
And please drive me blind
You don't believe me
But you do this every time
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind
I know we're broken
I know we're broken
I know we're broken
If I could tear you from the ceiling
I'd freeze us both in time
And find a brand new way of seeing
Your eyes forever glued to mine.
Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
And please drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind [Repeats]
I know I broke it
I know I broke it
I know I broke it
"Blind" is a haunting and emotional track by Placebo that explores the desire to hold onto a loved one and the desperation that can arise when they seem to slip away. The lyrics suggest the singer's longing to rescue their loved one from an unhealthy situation ("tear you from the ceiling" and "rid you of possessions fleeting") and to be their light and salvation ("guarantee source divine" and "fill your every breath with meaning").
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Don't go and leave me / And please don't drive me blind", implying that the singer fears losing their loved one and also fears being blinded to the truth of the situation they're in. The second verse echoes these pleas, stating that the singer knows the relationship is broken but still wants to find a way to make it work.
The final verse is perhaps the most poignant, with the singer wishing to freeze time and find a new way of seeing their loved one. This desire speaks to the concept of being blinded by love and the desperate desire to hold onto something that is slipping away. Overall, "Blind" is a testament to the power of love and the desire to hold onto it at all costs, even when it may not be healthy or viable.

If I could tear you from the ceiling
If I could take you away from the pain holding you back
And guarantee source divine
And promise you something truly heavenly
Rid you of possessions fleeting
Free you from the temporary things that weigh you down
Remain your funny valentine
Still love you, even with all your quirks and imperfections
Don't go and leave me
Please stay by my side
And please don't drive me blind
And don't push me away or blind me to the truth
I know the best have tried
I know others have tried and failed to help you
I'd fill your every breath with meaning
I would give you a reason to live, to breathe
And find the place we both could hide
And we could find a place to escape from the world's chaos
You don't believe me
You don't have faith in me
But you do this every time
But you always end up leaving me
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't let me get lost in the confusion and pain again
I know we're broken
I know that we are both damaged and struggling
If I could tear you from the ceiling
If only I could save you from your pain once and for all
I'd freeze us both in time
And stop time, so that we could stay together forever
And find a brand new way of seeing
And discover a new way of looking at the world
Your eyes forever glued to mine
Where we would always be looking at each other
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't push me away or let me get lost in the darkness
I know I broke it
I know that I am part of the problem
