Enlighten Me
Kritickill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It blinded me
It's like nothing
I've ever seen before
It's everything
I know there's so much I've never seen
Oh won't you help me
Open up my eyes
Prisoner
Shackled and chained in his own mind
A victim of
Passionate thoughts
About suicide
You fall
Thank about what you said
You need to listen to yourself
You're crying out
For someone's help
It's not too late to change your mind
It's never too late to begin life
Powerful
He thinks he's perfect in his own mind
You're coming down
To face the Reality of this life
You fall
Think about what you wront
Down in your little book of lies
And all the bad things you have rehearsed
It's all coming back to you now
It always comes back to you somehow
In Kritickill's song "Enlighten Me," the emphasis is on experiencing something new and profound. The concept of light is introduced, and the singer describes how it has blinded him, and how this is a new experience. The light is everything, suggesting that the singer is now seeing things differently than how he used to. The song is a plea for help, asking someone to open the singer's eyes because there's so much he hasn't seen or experienced.
The second verse shifts attention to a prisoner who is shackled and chained in his own mind. This individual is a victim of passionate thoughts about suicide, which the singer is saying is a serious cry for help. The singer implores the listener to listen to themselves, as they might be crying out for help as well. It's never too late to change your mind and start anew.
The final verse is about someone who thinks they're perfect in their own mind. This person is brought down to earth and to face the reality of life. The singer suggests that this person's little book of lies is catching up to them, and all the bad things they've done are coming back to them. The verse ends on an ambiguous note, implying that karma might be waiting in the wings.
