Keeping in Wonder
Blind Zero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you light one more cigarrette
Well, I'm trying to think here
Would you put the light a little lower
When I'm trying to make a stand
All began at point blank
Suddenly it all drops down

That's when you make a false move
And find that the light that light the mirror don't shine
And you ended on givin'up talking
Trying to keep it

(Chorus)
Trying to make a point
Trying to break the sources
Trying to make a point
Keeping in wonder

Don't you wonder why all the fake
If something is dying on the way
Must I always hang up the phone
Pretending to feel no regret
Seems to me that you feel the same
So scream it loud, don't you forget it

That's when you make wrong move
And find that the thoughts that haunt the pillow don't leave
And you ended on givin'up talking
Trying to keep it

(Chorus)

I see those fire planes
Moving down to the right side of the town
'till I reach there
'till I touch them with my hands
They fight toward the fences,
Seems to me that you feel the same
So scream it loud, don't you forget it

That's when you make a wrong move
And find that the thoughts that haunt the pillow don't leave
And you ended on givin'up talking
Trying to keep it

(Chorus)

Keeping in wonder (x3)
You gotta keepin' (x2)





You gotta keepin' (x2)
Keeping in wonder (x3)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blind Zero's song "Keeping in Wonder" seem to explore the frustration and difficulty that comes with trying to make a point or stand up for oneself in the face of opposition or indifference. The singer asks for a moment to think and then asks for a little lower light, perhaps creating the sense that the singer is trying to focus or get organized before speaking up. However, they encounter a false move, something that throws them off balance, and suddenly they struggle to keep their point or fight alive. The chorus repeats the idea of "trying to make a point" while "keeping in wonder," perhaps referencing the sense of disbelief or amazement that can come when one feels like they're the only one pushing for something.


Line by Line Meaning

Would you light one more cigarette
Can you give me a moment to think?


Well, I'm trying to think here
I need to clear my head and concentrate


Would you put the light a little lower
Can you dim the lights to help me focus?


When I'm trying to make a stand
I'm trying to stand up for what's right


All began at point blank
Everything started when we were face-to-face


Suddenly it all drops down
Everything falls apart unexpectedly


That's when you make a false move
Mistakes are made and things go wrong


And find that the light that light the mirror don't shine
Realizing that past successes and accomplishments hold little value


And you ended up giving up talking
Deciding to stop communicating or expressing oneself


Trying to keep it
Trying to keep everything together despite emotional stress


Trying to make a point
Attempting to prove something to someone else


Trying to break the sources
Trying to identify and eliminate the root cause of a problem


Keeping in wonder
Remaining curious and thoughtful despite challenges


Don't you wonder why all the fake
Have you ever thought about the prevalence of insincerity?


If something is dying on the way
If something seems to be fading or weakening over time


Must I always hang up the phone
Do I always have to be the one to end communication?


Pretending to feel no regret
Acting as if there are no negative emotions attached to a situation


Seems to me that you feel the same
Looks like you are going through a similar experience


So scream it loud, don't you forget it
Express how you truly feel, don't keep it bottled up


I see those fire planes
Metaphorically seeing help on the horizon


Moving down to the right side of the town
Getting closer and closer to the solution


'till I reach there
Continuing to strive towards a resolution


'till I touch them with my hands
Until I fully obtain the help I need to succeed


They fight toward the fences
Those that are helping are working hard to overcome obstacles


You gotta keepin'
You need to persevere and maintain your focus


Keeping in wonder (x3)
Never lose that sense of curiosity and wonder in difficult times
