Blind
Omar Afuni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I realized I
Felt this way about you
I wanted to run and hide
But my heart pulled back
I tried to go on living
But I got tired of pretending
Thought it would be the ending
Chorus:
Love turned off the lights, turned off the lights, turned off the lights
Love made me so blind, made me so blind, made me so blind
Faults were beautiful, I was gullible
That's right, so blind
You were incredible? I was delusional
That's right, so blind
Verse 2:
Your love made me so blind
It f***ed up my mind
You leaving me behind
Gave me back my sight
To me you were perfect
To others you weren't worth it
I know I didn't deserve it
When my heart was broken to bits
Chorus:
Love turned off the lights, turned off the lights, turned off the lights
Love made me so blind, made me so blind, made me so blind
Faults were beautiful, I was gullible
That's right, so blind
You were incredible? I was delusional
That's right, so blind
Middle 8:
Now that I got my sight back
I know where I stand
I see you for who you really are I understand
You're just a big mistake I'll never make again
I'm not a fool no more
My eyes are wide open
I loved you from the bottom of my heart, but I was just blind, so blind
Chorus:
Love turned off the lights, turned off the lights, turned off the lights
Love made me so blind, made me so blind, made me so blind
Faults were beautiful, I was gullible
That's right, so blind
You were incredible? I was delusional
That's right, so blind
The song "Blind" by Omar Afuni is an emotional ballad about the pain of loving someone so much that you become blinded by their faults and delusions. The first verse expresses the conflicting emotions experienced when realizing feelings for someone, it is a bittersweet moment where you want to run away and hide, but your heart pulls you back. The chorus speaks to the theme of the song, emphasizing how love turns off the lights, making one blind to reality, and how faults become beautiful and believing every good lie is an indication of being gullible. It's a story about how blindly one can love and how it can ultimately lead to heartbreak.

When I realized I
When the truth of my feelings dawned on me
Felt this way about you
That I had deep love for you
I wanted to run and hide
I had a desire to escape from facing my emotions
But my heart pulled back
However, my heart was stronger and held me back from running away
I tried to go on living
I attempted to continue living like everything was normal
But I got tired of pretending
It eventually became exhausting to keep up the facade
Thought it would be the ending
I assumed that it would mark the end of my love
But this story was beginning
But in reality, it was only the start of my journey to comprehend my feelings
Love turned off the lights, turned off the lights, turned off the lights
Love blinded me
Love made me so blind, made me so blind, made me so blind
I couldn't see the flaws in our relationship and in you
Faults were beautiful, I was gullible
I was naive and fell for your flaws, thinking they were perfect
That's right, so blind
And that's how blinded I was in love
You were incredible? I was delusional
I thought you were an extraordinary person but it was only my illusion
Your love made me so blind
Your love blinded me
It f***ed up my mind
It caused chaos and confusion in my mind
You leaving me behind
Your abandonment helped me see through the illusion and move forward
Gave me back my sight
It restored my perception and allowed me to see reality
To me you were perfect
I held an idealistic view of you, seeing only the good parts
To others you weren't worth it
Others didn't see your value and they were right
I know I didn't deserve it
I realize now that I didn't deserve the pain you caused
When my heart was broken to bits
When my heart was shattered into pieces
Now that I got my sight back
Now that I've regained my perception
I know where I stand
I know my position and where I belong now
I see you for who you really are I understand
I see you without illusions and comprehend your true self
You're just a big mistake I'll never make again
I see the mistake I made and would never repeat it
I'm not a fool no more
I'm no longer foolish
My eyes are wide open
My perception is clear
I loved you from the bottom of my heart, but I was just blind, so blind
I truly loved you but it was only a blind love

What a 2.0 version! I've been listening to it on my Spotify everyday since it got released. I love the new version. Don't get me wrong, the Resurrected version is very good - but this one is more deep, mature. I love what you did with the new instrumental and your voice! Bravo!
Omar Afuni
What a way to start my day! Thank you for your kindness and continuous support. Love you, Fab!
