Sen s r ngonting igng
En dlig nyhet frdas fort
Allt du gr och allt du gjort
Och sg mig hur du mr
Nr du trampar p allt som r vrt
(ref)man mste vara blind
Fr att inte se
Man mste vara blind
Fr att inte se
Hur allting faller isr
Man mste vara blind
Det hr r ingen rttegng
Du behver inget alibi
Men var rlig nu fr en gng skull
Sen slpper jag dig grna fri
Jag har inget att frlora s sg bara som det r
Gr det fr vr skull jag bnar och ber
(ref)man mste vara blind
Fr att inte se
Vad som hnder hr
Man mste vara blind
Fr att inte se
Hur allting faller isr
Man mste vara blind
Och lskling sg honom att du ndrat dig
Sg honom att du tillhr mig
(ref)man mste vara blind
Fr att inte se
Vad som hnder hr
Man mste vara blind
Fr att inte se
Hur allting faller isr
Man mste vara blind
The lyrics of Mauro Scocco's song "Blind" explore the idea that sometimes it is easier to turn a blind eye to the truth than to face it head-on. The first verse sets the scene of someone hearing news they don't want to hear and how it spreads quickly, causing everything they do and have done to now be worthless. The chorus repeats the phrase "man mste vara blind" which translates to "one must be blind" in English, emphasizing that it takes a certain level of ignorance to ignore the truth. The second verse offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer requests honesty so that they can let the other person go if needed. The bridge offers a pleading message for the other person to admit they love the singer and that they belong to each other.
Overall, the song presents a bittersweet view of love and relationships, acknowledging that sometimes it is better to let go and move on, rather than holding onto something that is falling apart. The title "Blind" is a metaphor for the denial and ignorance that can occur in these situations.
