Blind
Bernard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your silhouette gently comforts him.
In time I'll feel your light go dim.
You'll leave me breathless and empty ?in?
And then I'll notice that I can't see you.
I'm going blind the further I am from you.
And then I'll notice that I can't see you.
I'm going blind the further I am from you.
And then I'll notice that I can't see you.
I'm going blind the further I am from you.
The song "Blind" by Bernard reflects on the feeling of inescapable despair that comes with losing someone you love. The opening lines depict the person entering the room and bringing light, which comforts the singer. However, the comfort is temporary, and the singer realizes that as time passes, the light will fade, and the person will leave. The lines "In time I'll feel your light go dim. You'll leave me breathless and empty" convey the idea of inevitability and the pain that comes with anticipating loss.
The chorus brings forth a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. The singer realizes that the distance between them and the person they love is causing them to go blind, and they can't see them anymore. The metaphorical reference to going blind points to the loss of hope and the overwhelming feeling of sadness that comes with an imminent breakup.
The second verse is a reflection on the unfairness of life. The singer acknowledges that being close to the person they love isn't possible, and in turn, they are going blind. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the helplessness and acceptance of the situation.
In summary, the song "Blind" is an emotional journey through the inevitability of loss that comes with love. It expresses the pain, despair, and acceptance that one faces when realizing that the person they love, comfort, and need, will no longer be there.
