Blinded
Loski feat. Mike Skinner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can have all the facts
But still not know the true story
Judge not that ye be judged
Unless the judge is the one who caused your problems
People never change
They're just exposed
But your surroundings can change
I hope you never end up in these surroundings
(TSB)

Lights are blinding my eyes
People whooshing by
They're walking off into the night

Blue lights keep blinding my eyes
Bright, bright like the diamond shine
Have you ever put your life on the life on the line?
When it all goes wrong it's like you lost your mind
Don't know how I feel, they're like, "He must be fine"
And my lifestyle changed, I just wonder why
When I'm on that stage I see all them lights

Blue lights keep blinding my eyes
Bright, bright like the diamond shine
Have you ever put your life on the life on the line?
When it all goes wrong it's like you lost your mind
Don't know how I feel, they're like, "He must be fine"
When I turned thirteen that was country time
Blue lights, but would I get away in time?

Demon in palm angels
I see broski do it so fatal
Mish mash for the stack so grateful
My names Loose, I ain't I lacking in bagel
I know my bro will never kill me, he ain't able
If I die right now I failed
You was in school when I was doing well
See the dead in my sleep, it's like a fairy-tale
We lost SA, tore the block in half
Lost Risky, now I got no love
Hoes on me, I don't want no hugs
Three barbies and I'm with two thugs
Her ex one's a lame so she got no trust
Dot dots go buck, who's on stuff?
I ain't ever been robbed, nah, that's nuts
I see blue lights, of course I dust

Blue lights keep blinding my eyes
Bright, bright like the diamond shine
Have you ever put your life on the life on the line?
When it all goes wrong it's like you lost your mind
Don't know how I feel, they're like, "He must be fine"
And my lifestyle changed, I just wonder why
When I'm on that stage I see all them lights

Blue lights keep blinding my eyes
Bright, bright like the diamond shine
Have you ever put your life on the life on the line?
When it all goes wrong it's like you lost your mind
Don't know how I feel, they're like, "He must be fine"
When I turned thirteen that was country time
Blue lights, but would I get away in time?

I feel like I'm wasting time
Stevie Wonder, they blind
Let it sing like Jackson 5
Peter Pan when he let that fly
They lied if they said that the bando's nice
Back then it weren't great it was lovely
We mish mash to survive
Pull up, are you gonna back your guy?
Bro use any reason to slide (muh muh)
Every other block man beefing
Bro had smoke in his kidulthood
No, he ain't Adam Deacon
Couldn't bring bro to the show, I was pissed
I hope that he knows I won't leave him
I'ma get the bag and bring it right back
And make sure my peoples eating

Blue lights keep blinding my eyes
Bright, bright like the diamond shine
Have you ever put your life on the life on the line?
When it all goes wrong it's like you lost your mind
Don't know how I feel, they're like, "He must be fine"
And my lifestyle changed, I just wonder why
When I'm on that stage I see all them lights

Blue lights keep blinding my eyes
Bright, bright like the diamond shine
Have you ever put your life on the life on the line?
When it all goes wrong it's like you lost your mind
Don't know how I feel, they're like, "He must be fine"
When I turned thirteen that was country time
Blue lights, but would I get away in time?

Lights are blinding my eyes
People whooshing by
They're walking off into the night
Lights are blinding my eyes
People whooshing by
They're walking off into the night

(TSB)




People whooshing by
They're walking off into the night
