Blinded
Dream On Dreamer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was trapped in my own prison cell
Couldn't get out any other way
Every night I tried to find the key for
What's locked up inside of me

When questions running through your head
No answers, everything is still left unsaid, still left unsaid
How long will you ever pull through this?
How long will it take for me to relearn how to live?
Can we ever live again

I've been controlled
And I had it all
But the only thing I've been longing for
Is the heart that I can't hold

Someone please pull my head out of the sand
I'm getting worried that I keep losing track
Running circles but it's all in my mind
So tell me why is my heart not dying inside

Looking back to months and months
Spent every single day
Trying to keep up, trying to fight
Trying to get away

Am I better off without you?
When I believed everything was working for me
I was worn out, besieged by those who betrayed

I was too blind to see, too scared to leave
I was everything I never ever wanted to be
With my head held high, I walked miles for nothing
But still remembered, everything is worth something





Every day seemed like it had to be
Put down, remembered in history
