Blind
Converge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In retrospect I reflect
But I am to blind to see.
I embrace my soul
Hoping it will show me all.
Blind. I've lost it all.
I've lost you.
I'm so sorry for what
I have put you through.
I am so sorry for what
I did to you.
But look at me,
Look at what




I have put me through.
Taken for a ride.

Line by Line Meaning

In retrospect I reflect
Looking back, I think about my past experiences


But I am too blind to see
However, I am unaware of the current reality


I embrace my soul
I connect with my inner self


Hoping it will show me all
In the hopes of gaining clarity and understanding


Blind. I've lost it all.
Alas, I am lost and helpless


I've lost you.
I have lost the one who mattered the most


I'm so sorry for what I have put you through.
I express remorse for the pain I caused you


I am so sorry for what I did to you.
I am deeply apologetic for my past actions


But look at me,
Yet, I request you to consider my state


Look at what I have put me through.
Consider the pain and turmoil I am going through


Taken for a ride.
A victim to my own actions, I have been deceived

This song was first released on the first Converge 7 inch record I ever grabbed... this version is obviously much better. Can you imagine the sing-alongs at a concert back in the 92-97 timeframe? Yeah, I remember that. BERZERKER!!
