If We Were Blind
Cyanna Mercury Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The conflict in us
Getting deeper by the day
Look how the light kills the feel
Pleasures, they all drift away
The weight of the world now
Falls on our shoulders
We stood in the middle of things
But look now we're older

Had we been blind
We would have touched more
We would have touched more
Had we been blind
We would have felt more
We would have felt more
If our eyes were sullen
If our eyes were lost
We would've had more vision
We would have seen more
We would have seen more

There are times like tiny moments
Between pauses of the mind
There are voices small like whispers
There are things you can't deny
Ride on through this wicked morning
Keep your eyes peeled at all times

Let the Sun come warm your nostrils
Leave the view of Hell behind

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Cyanna Mercury speaks of human conflict and how it deepens with time. The light that once brought pleasure now fades away, and the weight of the world falls on our shoulders. She contrasts this with the idea that if we were blind, we would have touched and felt more. Without the distraction of sight, our other senses would have been heightened, leading to a deeper appreciation of life's experiences. The blindness would have given us a new perspective, allowing us to see more of the world than we do with sight.


Cyanna Mercury further expands on how sometimes in life, there are tiny moments, between pauses of the mind. These small moments, and the voices within them, cannot be denied, and we must ride on through the wicked morning, keeping our eyes peeled at all times. She reminds us to let the sun come, warm our nostrils and leave behind the view of hell. These lyrics, while acknowledging the darkness and weight of the world, provide a message of hope and a reminder of the beauty that exists in life.
