Blindfolded
Kris Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imagining your face, fighting my way through
Oh I feel you getting close with every step
With all that I have left
I'm reaching out for you
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
If I was blindfolded
My fingers trace the outline of your shape
And recognize the way you pull me into you
Oh you're calling out to me
Not saying a thing
You're everything I need
And all that I could never, ever lose
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
You're the gravity that's taken hold of me
Every time I lose my way
It's the chemistry
More than eyes can see
And no matter where I am
I will still find you
I will still find you
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
If I was blindfolded
"Blindfolded" is a love song by Kris Allen about a person who is in a crowded place, reminiscing about their loved one. The song captures the idea that love is not blind but rather, love is an attraction beyond sight. The singer continues to move forward despite the chaos around them because the thought of their partner fills them with hope and purpose. The song also emphasizes how the touch and presence of a loved one can be recognized instinctively.
The first stanza describes the singer moving through a strange and crowded place as they imagine their partner's face. They are reaching out for their loved one with all that they have left. The chorus reveals the theme of the song; if they were in a completely unfamiliar place and without memories, they would still find their partner. The second stanza touches on physical touch recognition as their fingers trace the outline of their partner's shape.
The bridge reinforces the message of the song, saying their partner is like gravity that holds the singer close, no matter where they are. The singer doesn't need eyes to see the bond they share with their partner. "Blindfolded" perfectly describes the feeling of finding that one person who fills our lives with meaning and direction that we would still recognize even if everything else falls apart.

Walking through this strange and crowded place
Navigating through an unfamiliar and chaotic area
Imagining your face, fighting my way through
Visualizing your image while struggling through
Oh I feel you getting close with every step
Sensing you drawing near as I advance
With all that I have left
Exhausting my energy and resources
I'm reaching out for you
Extending myself to touch you
My fingers trace the outline of your shape
Following your form with my sense of touch
And recognize the way you pull me into you
Identifying the method that you attract me towards you
Oh you're calling out to me
Signaling me without speaking
Not saying a thing
Remaining silent
You're everything I need
Being everything required
And all that I could never, ever lose
Having something valuable that can't be gone
You're the gravity that's taken hold of me
Being the force that pulls me towards you
Every time I lose my way
When I'm lost
It's the chemistry
It's the natural attraction between us
More than eyes can see
Something beyond what's visible
And no matter where I am
Regardlesss of my location
If I was blindfolded
If my sight was obscured
If my memory was erased
If I forget everything
If every sign pointed to another place
If all indications directed me elsewhere
I'd still find you
I'd locate you
I will still find you
I'll always find you
I'd still find you
I'd locate you

One of my favorites off of his album. Nice job, Kris <3

As good as this song is, as well as TYC, Kris gets overlooked by artists that command attention, and are over the top. It's really sad that someone sooo' unbelievable talented, with amazing, rich vocals gets overlooked by the popular stripper, half-naked, talentless pop divas.

Blindfolded and My Weakness are my two favorites off the album. Hope either, or both, become singles. They would do really well on the radio.
