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

Overall Meaning

The song Blinded by Dream on Dreamer is a heartfelt composition about going through a dark period that felt almost inescapable. The first verse speaks of feeling trapped in a prison cell and not being able to find a way out. This could be interpreted as being trapped in a negative headspace or a particularly difficult time in life.


The songwriter goes on to express the frustration of having questions without answers, feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus, as they ask if it is possible to "ever live again". This shows a willingness to want to bounce back and live a happy, fulfilled life once again.


The second verse touches on the dependency one can have on another person, and the pain that comes with realizing that that relationship was harmful. They question whether they are better off without this person, and exclaim that they feel betrayed. The lyrics also speak of being too scared to leave, indicating how hard it can be to leave a toxic situation.


Overall, Blinded is a powerful message of hope in the face of adversity. It reminds us that although things may seem dark and hopeless at times, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.


Line by Line Meaning

I was trapped in my own prison cell
Feeling stuck and confined within yourself, unable to escape


Couldn't get out any other way
No alternative routes to take, feeling trapped


Every night I tried to find the key for
Searching for answers and solutions to inner turmoil


What's locked up inside of me
The emotions and thoughts that are kept hidden and protected from the world


When questions running through your head
Moments of doubt and uncertainty leading to internal questioning


No answers, everything is still left unsaid, still left unsaid
A lack of clarity or direction, with no solutions and unspoken words


How long will you ever pull through this?
Uncertainty whether or not one can overcome the current situation


How long will it take for me to relearn how to live?
Questioning the process of moving forward and re-establishing a sense of normalcy


Can we ever live again
Doubtful pondering on whether life can be restored or rebuilt


I've been controlled
A sense of feeling manipulated or influenced by external factors


And I had it all
A belief that everything was going well, but a realization that something was missing


But the only thing I've been longing for
Desire for something that was not obtained or achieved, leaving an emptiness


Is the heart that I can't hold
Missing out on love or connection that was once present, but now unattainable


Someone please pull my head out of the sand
An overwhelming feeling of confusion and disorientation, needing guidance


I'm getting worried that I keep losing track
Anxiety of losing direction and purpose in life


Running circles but it's all in my mind
Mental obstacles and constraints holding one back, unable to move forward


So tell me why is my heart not dying inside
Questioning why one's heart does not feel numb and empty due to the pain and hardships endured


Looking back to months and months
Reflecting on past events that shaped one's current situation


Spent every single day
Enduring difficulties and challenges day-to-day


Trying to keep up, trying to fight
Struggling to maintain composure and resilience, fighting an uphill battle


Trying to get away
Attempting to escape the hardships and pain of the current situation


Am I better off without you?
Questioning whether the source of pain or hardship is worth holding onto


When I believed everything was working for me
A realization that a previously perceived good situation was flawed or not sustainable


I was worn out, besieged by those who betrayed
Exhausted from broken trust and the weight of betrayal from others


I was too blind to see, too scared to leave
Ignorant to the truth of one's situation, and the fear associated with making a change


I was everything I never ever wanted to be
Feeling a sense of shame or disappointment in who one has become


With my head held high, I walked miles for nothing
Working tirelessly towards a goal or dream but experiencing a feeling of futility


But still remembered, everything is worth something
Holding onto the idea that all experiences, even the difficult ones, hold value in shaping who we are


Every day seemed like it had to be
Feeling every day was a challenge or burden


Put down, remembered in history
An acknowledgement that past experiences and hardships will always be remembered, shaping the individual
