Acrylic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got it under your precious chin, your silence rapes me all the time
So here I sit, feeling the fool again
Won't waste my breath, I know you're blind
And I'm feeling so low, and I'm feeling like you're blinded
This time I know I'm falling in, I close my eyes, save my skin
It pulls me down, you drag me in
You're blinded, you're blinded
So life is good, I heard you can't complain
I'm doing great, thanks for your time
I know you've always wanted it this way, maybe you're not so fucking blind
And I'm feeling so low, and I'm feeling like you're blinded
This time I know I'm falling in, I close my eyes, save my skin
It pulls me down, you drag me in
You're blinded
Oh, oh, blind, you're blinded
Blind
(Oh)
You're blinded
(Oh)
Blind
This time I know I'm falling in, I close my eyes, save my skin
It pulls me down, you drag me in
You're blinded, you're blinded, you're blinded, you're blinded
Blind

The lyrics "you've got it under your precious chin, your silence rapes me all the time" suggest that the singer feels that the person they are addressing is not being honest and is withholding important information which is hurting them. The line "so here I sit, feeling the fool again" implies that this is not a new feeling for the singer and they have been through similar situations before. The repetition of the phrase "you're blinded" reveals the frustration and bitterness felt towards this person who cannot or will not see things clearly.
The chorus "this time I know I'm falling in, I close my eyes, save my skin, it pulls me down, you drag me in" suggests that the singer is aware of the harm this person is causing but feels helpless in the face of their influence. The line "maybe you're not so fucking blind" implies that the singer wants the person to acknowledge the harm they are causing, and to take responsibility for it. Overall, the song Blinded is a raw and emotive expression of the pain caused by being misled by someone you trust.
