De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you gave to me
I got lost inside
The maze of my memory
Deep in my heart
I die without cease
For my lover ran away
To find release
Would I make it right
And if I had to lose it again
Would I hold you tight
Forgive me I was blind
To the world outside
I was unkind
To the world outside of me
Feed me the right words
Dead to the world for days
On end I cried for my little girt
Scattered my ashes all over
The sea curled up in the debris
You left of me
And if I had to do it again
Would it turn out fine
And if I had to lose it again
Would I call you mine
To dream of a world made for me
And you was such a lovely thing to do
The lyrics of De/Vision's song Blindness portray a sense of loss and pain caused by a failed relationship. The singer depicts being lost inside the maze of their own memories, unable to escape the pain that their past love has caused. The mention of dying without cease implies that the pain is never-ending and has become a part of their being. The lover is said to have left in search of release, suggesting that the relationship may have been suffocating or burdened with expectations. The self-doubt and introspection in the lines "And if I had to do it again, Would I make it right" and "And if I had to lose it again, Would I hold you tight" indicate that the singer is unsure if they made the right choices or if they were capable of saving the relationship.
In the later part of the song, the singer talks about being fed the "right words" and being "dead to the world for days" which suggests that they may have fallen into depression after the separation. The line, "On end, I cried for my little girl" could imply that the singer may have lost custody of their child due to the break-up. The last lines of the song, "To dream of a world made for me and you was such a lovely thing to do" highlight the singer's yearning for a world where they could have been with their lover. Overall, Blindness is a hauntingly beautiful song that skillfully portrays the pain and torment that comes with heartbreak.

Wrapped in the pain
I am consumed by the hurt you caused me
That you gave to me
The agony I feel is due to your actions
I got lost inside
I feel trapped and unable to escape
The maze of my memory
My mind is filled with thoughts of you and our past
Deep in my heart
The pain is so intense it feels like it will never end
I die without cease
My soul is tormented endlessly
For my lover ran away
You left me alone and abandoned
To find release
You needed to free yourself from me
And if I had to do it again
If I had the chance to start over
Would I make it right
Would I correct my mistakes and do better
And if I had to lose it again
If I had to endure the pain again
Would I hold you tight
Would I cling to you tightly and not let go
Forgive me I was blind
I didn't see things clearly and I am sorry
To the world outside
I was oblivious to everything around me
I was unkind
My actions were hurtful and thoughtless
To the world outside of me
I was selfish and unaware of others' pain
Feed me the right words
Tell me what I need to hear to make things better
Dead to the world for days
I was so overwhelmed that I shut down emotionally
On end I cried for my little girl
I mourned for what I lost and the innocence I once had
Scattered my ashes all over
I feel destroyed and defeated
The sea curled up in the debris
The waves represent my turbulent emotions
You left of me
You abandoned and discarded me
And if I had to do it again
If I could go back in time
Would it turn out fine
Would things work out and not end in heartbreak
And if I had to lose it again
If I had to experience the pain once more
Would I call you mine
Would I still claim you as my own despite the consequences
To dream of a world made for me
I long for a reality where everything is perfect for me
And you was such a lovely thing to do
Having you by my side made the dream seem possible

Wrapped in the pain that you gave to me
I got lost inside the maze of my memory

For my lover ran away to find release
And if I had to do it again
Would I make it right
And if I had to lose it again
Would I hold you tight
Forgive me I was blind
To the world outside
I was unkind
To the world outside of me
Feed me the right words dead to the world
For days on end I cried for my little girl
Scattered my ashes all over the sea
Curled up in the debris you left of me
And if I had to do it again
Would it turn out fine
And if I had to lose it again
Would I call you mine
To dream of a world made for me and you
Was such a lovely thing to do
