Blindsided
Iver Bon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bike down, down to the downtown
Down to the lock down, boards, nails lie around

I crouch like a crow
Contrasting the snow
For the agony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded I am blindsided

Peek in, into the peer in
I'm not really like this, I'm probably plightless

I cup the window
I'm crippled and slow
For the agony
I'd rather know
'Cause blinded I am blindsided

Would you really rush out for me now?

Taught line, down to the shoreline
The end of a blood line, the moon is a cold light

There's a pull to the flow
My feet melt the snow
For the irony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded I was blindsided

'Cause blinded I was blindsided

'Cause blinded I was blindsided

Overall Meaning

The song Blindsided by Iver Bon seems to be about feeling lost and alone, and struggling to find a way out. The lyrics suggest a journey, potentially on a bike, towards the downtown area where a lockdown has occurred. The mention of boards and nails lying around suggests damage or destruction, which could reflect the singer's own internal turmoil. They describe themselves as crouching like a crow, perhaps feeling small and insignificant in the face of the chaos around them. The snow provides a contrast to the dark city, further highlighting the singer's isolation.

Line by Line Meaning

Bike down, down to the downtown
I ride my bike down to the urban center

Down to the lock down, boards, nails lie around
I approach the area that is locked down with debris scattered around

I crouch like a crow
I lower myself to the ground like a bird

Contrasting the snow
I am in stark contrast to the white snow

For the agony, I'd rather know
I'd rather experience pain than be unaware

'Cause blinded I am blindsided
Because I am unable to see, I am taken by surprise

Peek in, into the peer in
I take a quick look inside

I'm not really like this, I'm probably plightless
I don't normally act this way, I'm likely without a problem

I cup the window
I hold the windowpane with my hand

I'm crippled and slow
I am physically disabled and move at a sluggish pace

Would you really rush out for me now?
Are you willing to come to my aid immediately?
