Blinded Pain
Anthem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watch the coming dawn, but there's no sun for me
I can't forget her eye... still my wounds, it bleeds
The stabbing in my heart is slowly killing me
But still I'm holding on... will not set her free

See me, feel me... oh please
Hear me, need me... there's nowhere to run
I must keep climbing on this steep and broken way
I know I'm living in this blinded pain
Just one forgotten night... I'll never be the same
Keeps me dancing in this blinded pain

I'm drifting in the dark, in an endless sea
The answer comes again, where it all began

Want me, hold me... oh please
Take me, save me... there's no place to go, oh

I must keep climbing on this steep and broken way
I know I'm living in this blinded pain
Just one forgotten night... I'll never be the same
Keeps me dancing in this blinded pain

Woh! I'm falling down
I can't believe what you've done

See me, feel me... oh please
Touch me, love me... woh!

I don't know what you are
I'm living in a dream
I don't know where you are
Nowhere to go!

I must keep climbing on this steep and broken way
I know I'm living in this blinded pain
Oh! blinded pain




Won't you hold me, touch me
You're still so far away

The chorus describes the inner turmoil of the singer, who must keep climbing on the steep and broken way of life, while living in this blinded pain.

The blinded pain keeps him dancing in the dark, drifting in the endless sea without direction or purpose.
