Blind
Adom9 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see or hear or feel
I can't hold you and pretend
The world will never end
I am stainless
I am blameless
I am sorrow
Let me fall
Give me something
Or nothing at all
Let me fly
Or just let me fall
Lift me up
Let me fall
Give me something
Or nothing at all
Give me time
Just a little more time
Playing the fool
Is not as easy as it seems
Through the laughter and the stares
Pretend I'm unaware
Your elation
Is my damnation
Is my sorrow
Lift me up
Let me fall
Give me something
Or nothing at all
Let me fly
Or just let me fall
Lift me up
Let me fall
Give me something
Or nothing at all
Give me time
Just a little more time
Lift me up
Let me fall
Give me something
Or nothing at all
Let me fly
Or just let me fall
Lift me up
Let me fall
Give me something
Or nothing at all
Give me time
Just a little more time
The song 'Blind' by Adom9 seems to be about feeling lost and helpless, unable to see, hear or feel anything. The opening lines "I am blind, I can't see or hear or feel" gives the impression of the singer being in a state of confusion and vulnerability, with their senses deprived. They also seem to feel disconnected from their surroundings and people around them with the line: "I can't hold you and pretend, the world will never end". This may suggest an underlying feeling of mortality, with the idea that everything is fleeting and temporary.
The next line, "I am stainless, I am blameless, I am sorrow" seems like a contradiction, perhaps suggesting that despite being helpless and unable to connect with the world, there is still an inner resilience and strength within that is pure and untainted.
The chorus repeats the lines "Lift me up, Let me fall, Give me something or nothing at all, Let me fly or just let me fall". This could be interpreted as a plea for help, the singer is asking someone to either support them or let them be, highlighting the feeling that they are lost and need direction.
The second verse seems to focus on the idea of 'playing the fool'. The singer seems to be aware that pretending that everything is fine is difficult, and that people's reactions to their vulnerability can be uncomfortable: "Through the laughter and the stares, pretend I'm unaware, your elation is my damnation is my sorrow". This verse further emphasizes the vulnerability and confusion that the singer is feeling.
Overall, the song ‘Blind’ conveys a sense of helplessness and disconnection, while also displaying resilience and strength. It highlights the challenges of vulnerability and the internal struggles that come with it.
