Blind
Sister Soleil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at me,
I'm not just what you want to see.
Look at me,
I'm so young and I'm so old.
And God gave me a heart.
And God gave me a mind.
[Chorus]
And I... I feel deeper than any ocean
You could ever swim in.
I love bigger than any sky that you've ever seen
With your two blind eyes, baby; your so blind.
I'm a child;
I will remain so.
The spirit is the same, its the same,
In the same place I have my temple.
Nothing can take it away.
And I tried to be like the sun;
I'm of the sun.
I tried to shine through my life time.
[Chorus]
And I tried to be like the sun;
I'm of the sun.
I tried to shine through my life time.
[Chorus]
I... I feel deeper than any ocean
You could ever swim in.
I love bigger than any sky that you've ever seen
With your two blind eyes, baby; your so blind.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun.
I... I feel deeper than any ocean...
(Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.)
You could ever swim in.
(Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.)
I love bigger than any sky that you've ever seen...
(Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.)
With your two blind eyes, baby; your so blind.
(Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.)
The song "Blind" by Sister Soleil is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and empowerment. The lyrics reflect the singer's determination to be seen for who she truly is, despite the judgments of others who see only what they want to see. She acknowledges her youth and her age, her heart and her mind, and the gift of her life from God. The recurring "I feel deeper than any ocean, I love bigger than any sky" line emphasizes the intensity of her emotions, which are so deep and vast that they cannot be fully understood or appreciated by those who are blind to her true self.
The first verse emphasizes the singer's desire to be seen for who she really is. She acknowledges that she is both young and old, and that there is more to her than meets the eye. She believes that God has given her a heart, a mind, and two chances at life, which she is determined to use to their fullest potential. This determination is echoed in the chorus, which repeats the idea that she feels and loves more deeply than anyone could ever imagine.
The second verse focuses on the singer's identity as a child of God. She believes that her spirit is eternal, and that her body is merely a temple for her soul. She considers herself to be like the sun, shining brightly and trying to make the most of her time on Earth. The repetition of the words "shine like the sun" reinforces the idea that she is determined to live her life to the fullest and make a positive impact on the world.
