Blinding Lights
Fame On Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I′m going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
Sin City's cold and empty (oh)
No one′s around to judge me (oh)
I can′t see clearly when you're gone
And I said, ooh, I′m blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
And I said, ooh, I′m drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you′re the one I trust
(Hey, hey, hey)
I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh
The city′s cold and empty (oh)
No one′s around to judge me (oh)
I can't see clearly when you′re gone
And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can′t sleep until I feel your touch
And I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I′m like this, you're the one I trust (hey, hey, hey)
I'm just walking by to let you know
I could never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time
And I said, ooh, I′m blinded by the lights
No, I can′t sleep until I feel your touch
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can′t sleep until I feel your touch
The song "Blinding Lights" by Fame On Fire is a cover of the original song by The Weeknd. The lyrics speak about a person who is isolated and lonely in the city, and they are calling out to someone they hope can show them love. The singer is going through withdrawals and feels lost without the person they are reaching out to. The lyrics describe the city as being cold and empty, connoting a sense of desolation and despair. They are seeking a human connection and assurance of love, where they can trust that this person can touch and heal them.
The chorus of the song has a repetitive use of the phrase "blinded by the lights" to create a sense of repetitiveness in the singer's thoughts of loneliness and isolation. The lines "No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch" and "Oh, When I'm like this, you're the one I trust" highlights the importance of the person who they are calling out to. They know the only way to feel better is by reaching out to them. The song has a sense of urgency as well, "I'm running out of time, 'cause I can see the sun light up the sky, so I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh" connotes how important it is for the singer to reach out as soon as possible.
