Blind
KoЯn Lyrics

This place inside my mind
Referring to a hidden corner of the mind that holds a great deal of emotional pain.

A place I'd like to hide
Expressing a desire to escape from, or avoid, the painful emotions held within.

You don't know the chances
The potential outcomes of what might happen if one continues to ignore their emotional pain are unknown and potentially dangerous.

What if I should die?
As a result of not facing their emotional pain, there exists the possibility of death, either literal or figurative.

Another means I'll find
The search for new methods of escape from the pain inside.

To escape the pain inside
Trying to find ways to numb or suppress the emotional pain held within.

A place inside my brain
Referring again to the hidden, painful corner of the mind.

Another kind of pain
Emotional pain that is different from physical pain and often hard to recognize or face.

Deeper and deeper and deeper as I dream to
Sinking further and further into the hidden pain as one tries to ignore it, often dreaming of a way to escape it.

Live a life that seems to be
Attempting to create a semblance of normalcy and happiness despite the underlying emotional pain.

A lost reality
The perceived absence of hope of ever breaking free from the emotional pain.

That I can never find a way to reach
Reaching the point where one feels helpless, unable to find a way to overcome the emotional pain.

My inner self-esteem is low
The emotional pain is having an impact on the individual’s sense of self-worth, making it hard to feel confident or good about oneself.

How deep can I go
Asking how much worse the emotional pain can get if they continue to ignore it and search for ways to escape it.

In the ground that I lay
Being at rock bottom, buried beneath the weight of the emotional pain.

If I don't find a way to
The search to find a way out of the painful situation before it gets worse or becomes too much to handle.

See through the gray that clouds my mind
To find clarity amid the emotional turmoil and confusion that the emotional pain is causing.

This time I look to see what's between the lines
Reassessing the situation and looking for a different way to tackle the emotional pain in hopes of making progress.

I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind
A partial realization that the prior actions taken to suppress the emotional pain were only blinding the individual from the solution and ultimate healing of their pain.

I'm blind
The individual confesses their state of blindness when it comes to dealing with their emotional pain.
