Love Is Blind
Låpsley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put me aside for a lifetime, pull my lifeline so you feel you′ve won
I know I may look opaque
I may look like I've made way too many mistakes
I know the fire has burnt out
Know I gotta leave now
If our 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 shared sky, we once dived 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
Burnt on the edge, acting like it phases me
I know the fire has burnt out
Know I gotta leave now
If our love was easy
If there was 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 shared sky, we once dived 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
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 the shared sky, we once dived down
The lyrics of Låpsley's song "Love Is Blind" present the emotional turmoil of a person who is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship. The opening lines, "Push me aside when the day ends and the light is gone / Put me aside for a lifetime, pull my lifeline so you feel you've won" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is being sidelined by their partner, who is trying to move on and leave them behind.
The chorus, "Love is blind when the lights go out / Can't see the shadows flowing / Can't see the curtains closing," conjures an image of a person lost in the darkness of their emotions. It’s a metaphor for not being able to see the truth about the relationship when one is blinded by love. There is a sense of desperation in the song's lyrics as the singer knows that they have to leave, but they are struggling to let go. "Know I gotta leave now / If our love was easy / If there was an endless entity that I could hold on to / When I touch you / Hold on to."
The lines "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" signifies the singer's realization that the person they were in love with was never really there to begin with. There's a sense of betrayal, as if they have been lied to.
Overall, "Love Is Blind" is a poignant and relatable song that captures the complexities of love and heartbreak.

Gone is the person you knew

You never loved me anyway
You never truly cared for me from the beginning.

its just so cool randomly coming across dope music that if we didnt have this thing called internet and youtube, you most likely would've gone your entire life without knowing. What a depressing world if we didnt have such access. These well crafted arts that just touches you in ways that you never thought was possible.
such a lovely voice.

I think this everytime I listen to my playlist. I think how I would never had had the money nor time to go out and actually find this music and these artist. The internet may have brought a lot of negative things, but this one thing makes it worth it for me (along with the encyclopedia amount of knowledge at my finger tips at the speed of thought).
