"Blackout"
C.i.D x Silver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in the payments
You cave in
You cave in
Fear of the master
You're washed out
Nothing but a blackout

Arrive tonight
Arrive tonight
I saw the man
I saw the cancer
Arrive tonight
Alive to fight
I saw the man
I saw the cancer

Taken advantage the moment advances to a private universe
Taken advantage the moment advances to a private universe
I found a way (You just never seem to go away)
To die at bay
(I don't know you)

Arrive tonight
Arrive tonight
I saw the man
I saw the cancer
Arrive tonight
Alive to fight
I saw the man
I saw the cancer

Are we alone
Are we alone
Are we alone
I saw the man
I saw the cancer

Arrive tonight
Arrive tonight
Arrive tonight
Arrive tonight




Everybody feels alone sometimes
Everybody feels alone sometimes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Blackout" by C.i.D x Silver are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to describe a state of emotional brokenness and isolation. The singer is "lost in the payments," which could refer to a financial burden or a more metaphorical sense of being overwhelmed and consumed by the demands of life. They feel like they are caving in to fear and pressure from external forces.


The refrain of "Arrive tonight / I saw the man / I saw the cancer" suggests a sense of foreboding and impending doom. The singer may be encountering a malignant presence or feeling like they are battling a disease or illness. The repetition of "I saw the man / I saw the cancer" adds to the sense of urgency and danger.


The lines "Taken advantage the moment advances to a private universe / I found a way to die at bay" are haunting and enigmatic. They could suggest a desire to escape or retreat from the pressures of the world, to withdraw into a private mental space where the singer can process their emotions and find solace. The final lines "Are we alone / Everybody feels alone sometimes" hints at a universal struggle to combat loneliness and find connection with others.
