Tadpole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all looks so familiar as I'm walking to the door
And I've got the weirdest feeling that I've walked this path before
It's becoming more familiar but I cannot quite be sure
It's a definite sensation that I've done all this before
And I'm feeling most peculiar still I'm coming back for more
I begin to see the light as I go crashing to the floor
I had the strange sensation all I had to do was ask
I won't give in to temptation I will fight it to the last
Though the walls look quite unstable still I'm sure this thing will pass
I will not admit confusion as I have done in the past
I must be blind
I recognize this situation now I know it all too well
It's true that I've been up here and it's true that I once fell
I won't give in so easy I will fight it to the last
I have been sucked into the game plan as I have done in the past
I must be blind
I really must be blind.
In Tadpole's song "Blind," the singer seems to be experiencing a sense of déjà vu, as if they have been in this situation before. The lyrics describe a feeling of familiarity and yet uncertainty, as they cannot quite remember the details of their past experiences. Despite this, they are determined to keep going, fighting against temptation and confusion. In the end, they come to the realization that they have been here before and that they must have been blind not to see it.
The lyrics of "Blind" are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about the cycle of repeating past mistakes and not learning from them. The singer is stuck in a pattern of behavior that they cannot seem to break out of, and they are struggling to make sense of their experiences. However, through the repetition and confusion, they begin to see the light and realize that they need to change their ways.

As of May 2006, Renée announced on Breakfast that after 12 years together and due to a personal conflict between herself and drummer, Dean Lawton, Tadpole as a band were to go their separate ways indefinitely, effective June 24, 2006 after a final Auckland concert and self-titled album release, Tadpole. All have now gone their separate ways

Chicks in bands + Relations with other members + Breakup/Awkwardness = "Personal Conflict". A shame really, quite liked Tadpole.
