Blinded By Blood
Ulver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are
From the heart
Of it all

The light
From the love
In the night

The sight
From the white
In the eye

Crying
From the inside
The fear

In the face
From the mother
The grace

The river
From the blood
Of the world

You become
From the two
The thousands

My little one
From the earth
It all ends

Overall Meaning

Ulver's song "Blinded By Blood" is an introspective and complex work of art. The lyrics describe the nature of life and the interconnectedness of all things. The opening lines, "You are from the heart of it all" serve as a reminder that we are all a part of a greater whole. We are not isolated beings but rather part of a unified system that is constantly in motion. The light that comes from the love in the night speaks to the idea that love and kindness can help illuminate the darkness of the world.


The "white in the eye" and "crying from the inside" express the pain and struggle that comes with being human. These feelings are universal and connect us all. The "fear in the face from the mother" speaks to the idea that we are all born into this world with some level of fear and uncertainty. However, the grace that comes from the mother's love helps us navigate this world and find the strength to keep going. The river of blood from the world reminds us that we are all connected and that our actions have consequences that ripple out and impact others.
