Love Is Blind
LÃ¥psley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put me aside for a lifetime, put my lifeline so you feel you've won
I know I make look opaque
I may look like I've made way too many mistakes
I, I know the fire has burnt out
Know I gotta leave now
If a love was easy
When I touch you
Hold on to
Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out
In a shattered sky we're one star down
Pull me close in the sunset when the light is turned on
Pull me aside, am I ready yet, for the heaviness
It's getting darker now
I know I may look a little dazed
Burn on the edge, acting like it phases me
I know the fire has burnt out
Now I gotta leave now
If a love was easy
If the walls an endless entity that I could hold on to
When I touch you
Hold on to
Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out
In a shattered sky we're one star down
Taking the air from the room
Strumming on words that you don't say
Gone is the person you knew
You never loved me anyway
Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out
Love is blind when the lights go out (I'm losing you)
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out (losing you)
In a shattered sky we're one star down (losing you)
In "Love Is Blind," Låpsley sings about a failing relationship that has lost its spark. The song's lyrics are layered with metaphors, imagery, and symbolism, making it open to interpretation yet also relatable.
The initial lines evoke a sense of abandonment as the singer describes being pushed aside and taken for granted. She acknowledges her faults and that the relationship has reached its end. The following lines express the longing for a love that is effortless, where she can find solace and hold on to something steadfast. However, this is a far-fetched dream, and as the lights go out and the shadows begin to flow, she recognizes the inevitable end of their relationship.
There's a sense of desperation throughout the song as the singer struggles to hold on to what's already slipping away. She recognizes that the love they had for each other is now blind, and they can't see past the cracks in their relationship. The air in the room is sucked out, and the unspoken words are strummed, creating an eerie ambiance that symbolizes their failing relationship. The song ends on a melancholy note, with the realization that they are losing each other, and their love is now just a shattered star in the sky.

Push me aside when the day ends and my light is gone
Abandon me when things get tough and I have nothing else to offer
Put me aside for a lifetime, put my lifeline so you feel you've won
Ignore me for the rest of your life and convince yourself you've come out on top
I know I make look opaque
I may appear unclear or difficult to understand
I may look like I've made way too many mistakes
I may appear to have had too many failures, flaws or errors
I know the fire has burnt out
I'm aware that the passion and love we had is no longer present
Know I gotta leave now
I understand that I need to move on and leave this behind
If a love was easy
If love were simple and uncomplicated
If there was an endless sanity that I could hold on to
If there were constant, unending clear-headedness I could rely on
When I touch you
When I come into physical contact with you
Hold on to
Hold on tightly, grip firmly
Love is blind when the lights go out
Love becomes ignorant and unaware when situations get dark and difficult
Can't see the shadows flowing
Unable to perceive the problems happening underneath the surface
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Unable to acknowledge that our romance is ending
In a shattered sky we're one star down
Our relationship has been damaged and lost one essential component
Pull me close in the sunset when the light is turned on
Bring me close to you during a peaceful and pleasant time
Pull me aside, am I ready yet, for the heaviness
Take me away and make me face the serious, weighty issues
It's getting darker now
The circumstances are worsening and becoming more ominous
I know I may look a little dazed
I may appear confused, disoriented or distracted
Burn on the edge, acting like it phases me
I'm barely holding on, pretending not to be affected by the turmoil around me
Taking the air from the room
Sucking out all the happiness and oxygen from this space
Strumming on words that you don't say
Playing with my emotions by hinting at things without being honest or direct
Gone is the person you knew
The individual you thought you knew or loved is no longer present
You never loved me anyway
You never actually cared or had any strong feelings for me
