Love Is Blind
Lеpsley 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)
The lyrics of Lеpsley's "Love Is Blind" explore the complexity of a failing relationship. In the first verse, the singer seems to be asking to be put aside because they feel they have lost their light and made too many mistakes. They acknowledge that the fire has burnt out and that it's time to leave. They long for an easy love, something they can hold onto, but seem to recognize that it is not possible.
The chorus, "Love is blind when the lights go out," is an apt metaphor for the idea that when the relationship is falling apart, it becomes difficult to see things clearly. The shadows flowing and the curtains closing symbolize the unknown and the feelings of uncertainty that come with the end of a relationship. Even though they are one star down, the singer seems to understand that the relationship was fundamentally flawed and that the separation is inevitable.
In the second verse, the singer asks to be pulled close, but they're not sure if they're ready for the heaviness that comes with it. They acknowledge that things are getting darker and that they might seem a little dazed. They recognize that they are burned on the edge and perhaps trying to act like it doesn't faze them.
Overall, "Love Is Blind" presents a poignant and relatable portrait of a relationship that is coming to a close. The lyrics capture the contradictory mixture of sadness and acceptance that often accompanies such a moment.

Push me aside when the day ends and my light is gone
Leave me alone at the end of the day when I'm no longer shining
Put me aside for a lifetime, put my lifeline so you feel you've won
Remove me from your life forever, cut me off so you can feel victorious
I know I make look opaque
I know I may seem unclear or hard to read
I may look like I've made way too many mistakes
I may appear to have messed up many times
I, I know the fire has burnt out
I know that the passionate flame has died
Know I gotta leave now
I know I have to go now
If a love was easy
If love was simple and straightforward
If there was an endless sanity that I could hold on to
If there was an infinite source of clarity and rationality that I could rely on
When I touch you
When I am close to you
Hold on to
Hold on tight
Love is blind when the lights go out
Love is difficult to see when times are tough
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't discern the hidden, negative aspects
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Can't witness the end of something that was once open
In a shattered sky we're one star down
In a broken world, we've lost one piece of something once bright
Pull me close in the sunset when the light is turned on
Embrace me as the sun sets and we're illuminated
Pull me aside, am I ready yet, for the heaviness
Take me aside, am I prepared for the weight of this situation
It's getting darker now
The situation is becoming more bleak
I know I may look a little dazed
I know I may appear confused or unfocused
Burn on the edge, acting like it phases me
I'm balancing on the brink, pretending not to be affected
Taking the air from the room
Stealing the atmosphere and oxygen in the space
Strumming on words that you don't say
Playing with the unspoken words left unsaid
Gone is the person you knew
The person you once knew is gone
You never loved me anyway
You never truly had feelings of love for me
Lоve is blind when the lights go out
Love is complicated and unclear when things get tough
Lоve is blind when the lights go out (losing you)
Love becomes difficult to see when losing someone
In a shattered sky we're one star down (losing you)
In a broken world, we're missing one important piece due to losing someone

Put me aside for a lifetime, put my lifeline so you feel you've won

If a love was easy
If there was an endless sanity that I could hold on to

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

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

Strumming on words that you don't say
Gone is the person in 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
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

HolyDiver73
A fantastic song, lots going on in the background to go along with the main melody and a very emotive and hooky chorus. This is actually pop's version of Progressive Rock.
