Blind Together
Jim Sturgess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We"ll take ourselves out
So nobody knows who we are
We"re like strangers in the past
I"ll meet your love
Hear me out
And close your eyes
"Cause I can still see where you are
I"m blinded by your love
Fear now
I mean no furtive whispers sacred
Fear our cruel
Can"t you see Blind together, finding our way
As we reach for each other"s arms
I can see you when we, blinded,
Play on the strings of each other"s hearts
We"ll be blind together,
Watching over your shoulder at every cause
As for me I"ll make it
Right here "til this world is set on fire
The lyrics of Blind Together by Jim Sturgess describe a romantic encounter between two people who want to be alone and unrecognizable to the world. They plan to take themselves out, out of the public eye, to be together as strangers in the past. The singer assures their lover that they can still see them despite the darkness surrounding them, as they find their way towards each other. They are blinded by their love, which makes them fearless, and they fear no whispers or cruelty that could potentially harm their union. They then play on the strings of each other's hearts, being blind together and watching over each other's shoulder as they come across various obstacles. The singer is determined to stay in this love affair and be there for their beloved until the world burns down.
Overall, the lyrics seem to reflect a desire for a human connection that goes beyond recognition, beyond the pressures of society and the real world. This connection is something powerful that can overcome any obstacle, and it is worth fighting for, even if the world is set on fire.

Here's how
Let me explain
We'll take ourselves out
We will remove ourselves from society
So nobody knows who we are
We will become anonymous
We're like strangers in the past
We feel disconnected from our past selves
I'll meet your love
I will love and accept you for who you are
Hear me out
Listen to what I have to say
And close your eyes
Ignore the distractions of the outside world
'Cause I can still see where you are
I can see and understand you even if you are different than me
We're like strangers in the dark
We feel lost and unsure in the midst of the unknown
I'm blinded by your love
I am completely consumed by my love for you
Fear now
Let go of fear
I mean no furtive whispers sacred
I am honest and open with my intentions
Fear our cruel
Fear can be harsh and unforgiving
Can't you see Blind together, finding our way
We will navigate life together despite our limitations
As we reach for each other's arms
We will support and hold each other up
I can see you when we, blinded, Play on the strings of each other's hearts
We will still connect on emotional and intimate levels despite our physical limitations
We'll be blind together, Watching over your shoulder at every cause
We will protect and care for each other through any challenges
As for me I'll make it, Right here 'til this world is set on fire
I will stay by your side and remain committed even in the face of chaos

Boy the comment about Spaghetti-O's is the truth. They tasted great as a kid. I had some later in life as an adult and nearly vomited. Don't know why I thought they tasted so good.
