Juice also describes the feeling of losing loved ones and close friends of his and others and touches on the subject of self safety as well as keeping your loved ones safe.
Unlike the former song in this EP, this song is more personal and representative of Juice’s own self. He talks about how he feels lost in this world and doesn’t fully understand his reason of being here. In the description of the official YouTube audio, Juice simply says:
"im lost :("
Rich and Blind
Juice WRLD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say they wanna read my mind
They really wanna read my mind
Telling you right now, all you'll find
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
They say they wanna read my mind
Do you really wanna read my mind?
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
I know I have a purpose, but I don't see the purpose
They tell me the death of me gon' be the Perkys
I know they lace pills, I bought them on purpose
Life's unreal and death's uncertain
It's funny how the blessed ones had the most curses
Heart falling to the floor if we lose another person
Take three more, I swear it's worth it
But it ain't no world tour if I'm laying in a hearse
I remember losing little bro, he laying in the dirt
Now I'm bound to drop a tear or two on every single verse
Good terms, bad terms, when they die, it's the worst
Sometimes when I'm high, I feel high in reverse
I ain't going out like that, you fuck with me, you get the work
You ain't gon' see me in no wooden box, I'm gonna shoot 'em first
I promise y'all I'm finna touch the world, yeah, I'ma touch the Earth
But hold on, your girl on my line, I think I may just fuck her first
Yeah, gotta have some crude humor
Just to keep a good vibe going, keep the song grooving
So all my money longer, shout out bro Uzi
Keep my eyes in the sky 'cause that's where I'm moving
Say they wanna read my mind
They really wanna read my mind
Telling you right now, all you'll find
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
They say they wanna read my mind
Do you really wanna read my mind?
I promise, all that you will find
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
Blind, blind, blind
This is dedicated to you if you felt the lowest of the low
I know how it feels, you don't wanna struggle anymore
Used to ball hard, ain't no triple-doubles anymore
Bitch, I'm talking 'bout my tears
Turned around and faced my fears
I haven't felt this low in years
We die in three like musketeers
Ain't too many real niggas left in here
R.I.P. to all my peers
Smoking loud pack, what you say? I can't hear
But I still hear the fallen ones in my ears
Why, why do we live to die, die?
When it's my time, time, time
I'll leave behind my end, my 13 Reasons Why
Say they wanna read my mind
They really wanna read my mind
Telling you right now, all you'll find
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
They say they wanna read my mind
Do you really wanna read my mind?
I promise, all that you will find
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
Blind, blind, blind
Daytrip took it to ten
The chorus of Juice WRLD's song "Rich and Blind" talks about how people claim they want to read his mind, but if they did, all they would find is a lost soul that is both rich and blind. The term "rich" in this context could refer to the success and wealth that he has attained through his music career. But, according to Juice, he feels like he has lost his sense of direction in life and feels like he is just going through the motions. He's also struggling with drug addiction, and even though he knows the drugs are killing him, he can't seem to stop using them.
The verses of the song further elaborate on these themes. Juice talks about how he feels like he has a purpose in life but can't seem to grasp what it is. He also mentions how the drugs he's taking are slowly killing him, and how the deaths of his loved ones have affected him. Juice also talks about his fear of dying, and how he wants to make a mark on the world before that happens. The song ends with the repetition of the line "lost soul, rich and blind," which serves as a reminder of Juice's state of mind.

Say they wanna read my mind
People claim they want to know my thoughts
They really wanna read my mind
They insist on discovering my innermost thoughts
Telling you right now, all you'll find
What they find inside is a person who is lost, confused and hopeless
Is a lost soul, rich and blind
I am a person who is wealthy but similarly unaware of my surroundings
I know I have a purpose, but I don't see the purpose
Though I know I have a reason to exist, I do not comprehend it
They tell me the death of me gon' be the Perkys
Others warn me that taking too many prescription drugs will lead to my demise
Sometimes when I'm high, I feel high in reverse
At times, when I'm under the influence of drugs, I perceive the opposite of their intended effect
This is dedicated to you if you felt the lowest of the low
This song is for people who have experienced rock bottom
I'll leave behind my end, my 13 Reasons Why
I will be remembered for the truth I shared about the agony I was going through

we loved your emotion in robbery
we loved your joy in armed and dangerous
we loved your imagery in lucid dreams
we loved your message in black & white
we loved your passion in empty
we loved your love story in hear me calling
we loved your tribute in legends
we loved your expression of heartbreak in all girls are the same
we loved your melody in suicidal
we loved your relatability in scared to love
we loved your flow in ransom
we loved your journey in end of the road
we loved your brotherhood in yacht club
we loved your optimism in feeling
we loved your story telling in hide
we loved your nostalgia in used to
we loved your spirit in fine china
we loved your sharing of struggle in hurt me
we loved your development in graduation
we loved your vulnerability in candles
we loved your perspective in ptsd
we love your legacy in righteous
we still love you
we love you juice
