Walkblind
Luminous Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say"close your eyes,like the ones who walk blind"
Still closing my eyes think i'll feel your eyelush on my skin
Stay close your eyes you're the one who@walk blind
Like the shadows your eyelushes make slight and shallow and warm you touch my sense
The way's so frail it's so frail
The lyrics to Luminous Orange's song "Walkblind" seem to be describing a moment of intimacy between two people. The first line sets the scene, with the singer watching the other person's eyes and feeling the heat of the sun on their skin. The other person instructs the singer to close their eyes, like someone who walks blindly, and the singer obliges. With their eyes closed, they can feel the other person's eyelashes on their skin and are able to tap into their sense of touch. The way is described as "frail," suggesting that this moment of closeness may be fleeting or delicate.
The chorus continues with the theme of closing one's eyes and walking blindly, suggesting a relinquishing of control or trust in another person. The singer continues to describe the other person's eyelashes, making the imagery sensual and intimate. The final line, "still lying in your eyes want to walk to the sun's field then we'll close our eyes like the ones who walk blind," suggests a desire for even deeper intimacy and a willingness to follow the other person wherever they may lead, even if it means walking blindly into the unknown.
Overall, "Walkblind" seems to be a meditation on trust, intimacy, and surrendering control in a relationship. The language is dreamy and poetic, creating a hazy atmosphere that perfectly captures the feeling of being lost in the moment.

@NathanMantle This song was released from Cream Cone Record in 1999. Actuary K.O.G.A. did not like our "dream pop" songs very much.
