Perfectly Blind
DAY26 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Visions of me and you
Shattered in a day like broken glass
Perfectly blind, still perfectly blind
Perfectly blind, please somebody help me
Perfectly blind, I need an answer
Perfectly blind, perfectly
My last war, heart is torn
Violently craving
Substitute for you, for you
These eyes see darkness
These eyes see through
These eyes are begging
These eyes are you
Perfectly blind, perfectly blind
Perfectly blind, Oh
Perfectly blind, I don't know what I'm gonna do right now
Perfectly blind, Said I am
Won't you take me as I am
I'm just a scarred man
These hands need your guidance
Take me past the circumstance
Perfectly blind, blind
Perfectly blind, I cannot see anything when your around me
Perfectly blind, So blind
Perfectly blind, So, Oh Oh
So blind, so blind, so blind, so blind
But its okay, but it's okay
I wanna be lost in you, lost in you
I wanna be lost in you
Be afraid to leave me when you want me to go
And yes I'm going to follow, follow, oh no
The first verse of the song reveals the singer's perspective of his failing relationship. His "wide eyes, straight with red lines" suggest that he's been crying or staying up late pondering the situation. The singer is brokenhearted by the end of his relationship with his partner, and their once vivid dreams of a future together are "shattered in a day like broken glass." The chorus, which repeats the phrase "perfectly blind" four times, illustrates the extent of the singer's confusion and helplessness- he's unable to see a way forward and feels blinded by his emotions. He pleads for somebody to "help me, I need an answer."
The second verse acknowledges the singer's dependency on his partner. He's "violently craving a substitute" for his significant other, which suggests that he can't move on and has become obsessed with finding a replacement for his love. The singer admits that he sees "darkness" and only "begging eyes" when they are gone. He's desperate to be with his partner, reflected in his repeated use of the phrase "I wanna be lost in you" throughout the song. The bridge concludes with the singer asking his partner to accept him as he is- a man with scars, who needs guidance- indicating that he's willing to follow them wherever they go just to stay together.

cash Whaleyboy I know they tried several times. I guess it didn't work out for them. A couple of them went solo for a while. I didn't like the music. Hopefully they'll try again.
