Blind
Emily Weisband Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see myself in a hotel on New Year′s Eve
Crying, all dressed up
I got a long, long list of those kind nights, looking back on us

I see you and me tryna fake happy
I see all the reasons why it ended badly
I see I'm better alone, I see all of that, I know
Then I see your name come up on my phone

And I go blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
And I don′t mind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie
No, I'm not gonna lie
Baby, I see you and all of a sudden, I
I′m blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)

I′ll never say I wish it never happened
I know that shit was love
But somewhere along the way
It got ugly, now I'm looking back on us

I see you and me tryna fake happy
I see all the reasons why it ended badly
I see I′m better alone, I see all of that, I know
Then I see your name come up on my phone

And I go blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
And I don't mind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
Yeah, I′m not gonna lie
No, I'm not gonna lie
Baby, I see you and all of a sudden, I
I′m blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)

Babe, I'm not gonna lie
I hoped you'd show up tonight
′Cause you know I kinda like
When I
(I go blind again)

And I go blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
And I don′t mind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie
No, I′m not gonna lie
Baby, I see you and all of a sudden, I
I'm blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)





I go blind again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Emily Weisband's song Blind are a reflection on a past relationship that ended badly. In the beginning of the song, she sets the scene of herself on New Year's Eve in a hotel room, dressed up and crying, thinking back on all the bad nights she spent with her ex-partner. She sees herself and her ex-trying to pretend to be happy, but the reasons for the breakup are still present. She knows that she's better off alone, but when she sees his name come up on her phone, she goes blind again. This blindness is the metaphor for the feeling of being deeply in love and losing all rationality and self-awareness. Despite acknowledging that the relationship ended badly, Weisband still has residual feelings for her ex and feels a rush of emotion every time he reaches out to her.


Throughout the song, Weisband reflects on the good and bad parts of the relationship but doesn't regret it. She knows that the relationship was love at some point, but it eventually turned ugly. The longing for her ex is evident in lines like "I hoped you'd show up tonight, 'cause you know I kinda like when I go blind again." Ultimately, this song isn't about trying to rekindle things with her ex but rather, an expression of genuine feelings that can't be ignored.

Babe, I'm not gonna lie
Darling, I am honest with you


I hoped you'd show up tonight
I anticipated your presence for tonight's events


'Cause you know I kinda like
You grasp that I enjoy


When I (I go blind again)
Whenever, I am stunned and indifferent


I go blind again (I-I-I, I-I-I)
I succumb to my previous feelings of enticement towards you

She's needing to produce with others and try to redefine what niche exists....some of her songs are amazing and then some of her songs sound like she's afraid to take a chance.
