Blinded
Usher feat. Tiësto & Allure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty flower can you tell me what's become of who we are
Only asking what you'd like tonight
Well take America
Just shake my tits and ass yeah we'll go far
And if we wanted more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
Here we want to try
But I can't try to be as plain as daylight
Looking to the world
But we were always blinded
Sell a little bit to you
A circus sideshow but the makeup's shining through it's not so bad
Is there anyone to know
Forget my politics just sex me 'til I'm done it's not so hard
And if we wanted more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
Here we want to try
But I can try to be as plain as daylight
Looking to the world
But we were always blinded
And all the stars are out for you
And everybody's hiding here
And all the stars have come unglued
But everybody everybody's changing
We're changing
We're changing
And if we wanted more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
Here we want to try
But I can't try to be as plain as daylight
Looking to the world
But we were always blinded
Always blinded
And all the stars are out for you
And everybody's hiding here
And all the stars have come unglued
But everybody everybody's changing
We're changing
We're changing
We're changing
Thank you
The lyrics to Usher feat. Tiësto & Allure's song "Blinded" are complex and touch on themes of identity, sexuality, and the human desire for more. The lines "Turn me out then turn me on" speak to the idea of being used for someone else's pleasure, while still yearning for a true connection. Later, the lyrics "A circus sideshow but the makeup's shining through it's not so bad" suggest that even if something isn't perfect or authentic, it can still be worthwhile.
The line "Is there anyone to know" touches on the idea of wanting intimacy but also feeling isolated and disconnected. The chorus repeats "And if we wanted more, then that was only what we thought our right was, only wanted more but we were always blinded" expressing the human tendency to always strive for more but to be blinded to the reality of our situation.
The third verse portrays a sense of change and evolution, with the repetition of "We're changing, we're changing, we're changing" suggesting growth and development beyond the themes of the previous verses. Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and humanity, as the lyrics express a desire for connection and understanding in a complex and ever-changing world.

Turn me out then turn me on
Get me excited and ready to go
Pretty flower can you tell me what's become of who we are
Can you explain how we've changed as people?
Only asking what you'd like tonight
Just wondering what your plans are for tonight
Well take America
Let's take on America
Just shake my tits and ass yeah we'll go far
If we flaunt our bodies, we'll gain success
And if we wanted more
If we desired more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
We believed we had the entitlement to more
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
We yearned for more, but we never saw reality
Here we want to try
We want to attempt
But I can't try to be as plain as daylight
I can't be straightforward
Looking to the world
Exploring the world
But we were always blinded
But we were always unable to see the full picture
Sell a little bit to you
Offer you a small amount
A circus sideshow but the makeup's shining through it's not so bad
We're a bit of a spectacle, but it's not terrible
Is there anyone to know
Does anyone care?
Forget my politics just sex me 'til I'm done it's not so hard
My political views don't matter, let's just have sex
And all the stars are out for you
Everything is in your favor
And everybody's hiding here
Everyone is keeping to themselves
And all the stars have come unglued
And everything has fallen apart
But everybody everybody's changing
But everyone is evolving
We're changing
We are evolving
And if we wanted more
If we desired more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
We believed we had the entitlement to more
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
We yearned for more, but we never saw reality
Here we want to try
We want to attempt
But I can't try to be as plain as daylight
I can't be straightforward
Looking to the world
Exploring the world
But we were always blinded
But we were always unable to see the full picture
Always blinded
Always unable to see the full picture

David Berg
You should know that I have played almost every single mashup you have ever released in my group fitness classes, and i am CONSTANTLY asked where I find my music. You sir, are legend
Cecelia Laudat
I've ALWAYS been a fan of mashups, but Dj Trademark is part of my favorite mashup artists. All of his mashups just keep me coming back and begging for more. Hope you have a different perspective on mashups, because if not, I'll post a reply to you of some awesome mashups I've been listening to. Hope you'll enjoy them!
