Blind
Dr. Kurt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm growing eyes in the back of my neck
Crawling forward and I stand back
I'm wearing down this floor
Parking right outside your door
There ain't a mountain I would not climb
Make you see I've drawn the line
Between what I was and what I am now
I'm changed inside out

You blind me, blind me
If you let me go, I will you know
You blind me, blind me
Things takes time, we'll sort them out
You blind me, blind me

I'm feeling tired of telling white lies
Just 'cause some are small things flies off high
Words can always twist and bend
I have to say what I feel my friend
Please have some faith in me
Where I've been and who I've seen
Making scenes every day
Oh it doesn't help in anyway

You blind me, blind me
If you let me go, I will you know
You blind me, blind me
Things takes time, we'll sort them out
You blind me, blind me
You blind me, blind me

We could sort things out, given time
We can break our pride with two glasses of wine
And we say we'll never, go wrong again
We sort it out, yet again
We scream and shout and we feel the pain
I don't know how, to live without you

'Cause you blind me, blind me, Ohhhh

Yeah
You blind me, blind me
If you let me go, I will you know
You blind me, blind me
Things takes time, we'll sort them out
You blind me, blind me
If you let me go, I will you know
You blind me, blind me
Things takes time, we'll sort them out
You blind me, blind me
Blind me, blind me

I'm growing eyes in the back of my neck
I'm Crawling forward and I stand back

Between what I was and what I am now
I'm changed inside out

Overall Meaning

In Dr. Kurt's song "Blind," the songwriter reflects on a significant change in a relationship and his fear of losing it. He has grown "eyes in the back of [his] neck," indicating a heightened awareness of his surroundings and the potential threats to his relationship. He acknowledges that he has worn down the floor, an indicator of pacing, anxiety, and restlessness. He is parked outside his loved one's door and is willing to climb any mountain to make them see that he has changed. The song's hook, "you blind me," suggests that his loved one's actions or decisions have the power to make or break this relationship.

The lyrics also hint at a history of white lies, and the weariness of covering up the truth has made the songwriter feel like "making scenes every day" does not help the situation. He pleads for his loved one to have faith in him, his character and choices, to see who he is now, and not to judge him on past events. The bridge offers a solution to their problems: they can sort things out with time and two glasses of wine. However, he acknowledges that they have been through this before, and it resulted in screaming, shouting, and pain. He cannot imagine living without his loved one, and their relationship is worth fighting for.
