Blister In The Fold
Condition K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You feel the strain
This masquerade
Suffering from the sound

Its all the same
And you betray
Better lost and never found
All again you lie
Slip so sweetly into night
Never are you gonna follow

I will break you from it all
What it means to be so low
I will save you
Catch you fall
Just a blister in my fold

You feel the shame
This weak charade
Bleed yourself beneath the ground

Its all in vain
And you betray
Never will you wear the crown

All again you die, yea
Slip so sweetly into night
Never are you gonna follow

I will break you from it all
What it means to be so low
I will save you
Catch you fall
Just a blister in my fold

Same old story
Same old face
Wash your skin
In mere disgrace
Eyes uneasy




Incomplete
Choose the path to follow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Blister In The Fold by Condition K speak of individual struggle, pain, and suffering. The verses highlight the struggle that a person experiences due to the continuous facade that they put up. The person feels that they are suffering from the sound, and they betray their own selves to maintain the same.

The chorus asserts the promise of the singer to break the individual from this cycle, rescue them from the depths they have sunk into, and protect them, even as they might be seen as mere "blister in (the singer's) fold".


The lyrics further suggest that the individual is worn down by the strain, is weak, and is ashamed of their life's path. The lines "Its all in vain, and you betray, never will you wear the crown" imply that the person is resigned to their situation and is unable to envision a path to success, leave alone aspire to a throne.

The chorus repeats the singer's steadfast promise to help them and guide them, even in the face of the individual's reluctance to change.
