Blind
Ember Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday you wake with doubt and fear.
You fall to your knees for a better day.
Your greed happy, preaching hippourites try to hold,
What you can't grasp.
For believe in a saviour who gave blindman light and nealed the crippled,
Crucified for our sins, but where's he now to help?!
You wait for a star to fall from the sky to bring forth a better change
But now that star has lost its light as falls towards the earth.
You think you understand eternal dream but you don't they do.
They live off you.
I say pride, I wait for forgiveness from the masses,
They say faith but I believe in myself and my life.




You who don't take look into yourself or say who you are.
You say you have values? You are just victims in this world of everlasting darkness.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ember's song "Blind" paint a picture of someone who wakes up every day with doubt and fear, hoping for a better future. They fall to their knees, seeking solace and guidance, only to be bombarded by the greed and hypocrisy of those around them. The song speaks of false prophets who claim to know the way but are unable to provide the help that is needed. This individual is waiting for a miracle, a sign that will bring about a positive change, but the star that they have been waiting for has lost its light and is falling towards the earth.


As the song progresses, Ember highlights the contrast between pride and faith. The singer speaks of their own struggle with pride and how they are seeking forgiveness from the masses. On the other hand, they observe that those around them claim to have faith but do not understand the implications of their beliefs. This is a powerful statement on the nature of belief and how we can sometimes be blind to our own contradictions.


Overall, "Blind" is a powerful song that speaks to the human condition. It captures the struggle that many of us face as we try to make sense of the world around us, grappling with doubt, fear, and the hypocrisies that often lurk in the shadows. It is a call to action, a reminder that we must be vigilant in our pursuit of the truth, and a warning that we must be careful not to be led astray by those who claim to have all the answers.
