Letzte Instanz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wenn ich auf der straße läge würdest du einfach weitergehen
du bist blind kannst mich nicht sehn
hast aufgehört dich um zu schauen die welt um dich ist menschenleer
auch du bist da nur irgendwo wir zwei zusammen ist lange her
du bist blind kannst uns nicht sehn
kannst dich nicht sehn kannst mich nicht sehn
siehst das fremde nur in mir längst vergessen was mal war
du bist blind kannst uns nicht sehn
was hat die zeit mit uns gemacht wie fing es an
haben die zeichen weg gelacht
und was kam dann und was kam dann
nichts mehr zu sehen
mach die augen auf verdammt wir gehen sonst verloren
mach die augen auf wir haben es doch geschworen
The lyrics to "Blind" by Letzte Instanz are about feeling forgotten and left behind by someone who used to be an important part of your life. The singer describes how this person has become so consumed with their own life that they can no longer see the people around them, including the singer. The lyrics use the metaphor of blindness to describe this emotional state, suggesting that the person has become so self-absorbed that they are unable to see the impact their actions are having on others.
The first verse describes how the person is so focused on their own path that they have forgotten about the singer and their relationship. The singer feels like they have been left behind and forgotten. The second verse continues this theme, describing how the person's world has become empty and devoid of other people. The singer acknowledges that they are still there, but even they have become lost and forgotten in this person's blindness.
The chorus repeats the idea of blindness, urging the person to open their eyes and see what they are doing. The singer is afraid that if the person continues down their current path, they will become lost forever. The final lines of the song suggest that the two people had made a promise to each other at some point, but that promise has been forgotten in the blindness that has taken hold.
Overall, the lyrics to "Blind" are a poignant exploration of how we can become so focused on ourselves that we forget about those around us. The song is a plea for empathy and connection, a reminder that we are all in this together and that we must care for one another if we are to find our way.
