Blind
Wolfsheim (Peter Heppner) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I hear the rain on my windowpane
Gently tapping at the glass
Like your gently touching fingers
Just looking for the smile I give to you
[Chorus]
You can feel what no one feels
Just looking for the smile I give to you
You can feel what no one feels
You can hear what no one wants to hear
Just looking for the smile I give to you
Your darkness speaks and has eyes to see
and you know me by my voice
But you know so much more than
"Don't fight the walls they're here for all"
Is what you said to me once
I looked into your eyes and I knew you were right
[Chorus]
And your darkness speaks and has eyes to see
I know you can win this life long game we're in
"Hey darkness is a state of mind
I can go where you would stumble"
Is what you said to me and I knew you we right
The song Blind by Wolfsheim, sung by Peter Heppner, is a beautiful yet melancholic song about the memory of a loved one, who may or may not be present anymore. The lyrics talk about how the singer, upon hearing the rain on his windowpane, thinks of this person, who is symbolized by gentle, tapping fingers on the glass. The person is referred to as 'your darkness,' but the singer acknowledges that they know him by his voice and 'so much more.'
The chorus of the song is a repetition of lines that highlight the connection between the singer and the person they are thinking about. The person can 'feel what no one feels' and 'hear what no one hears,' indicating how deeply the two are connected. These lines are followed by the statement 'just looking for the smile I give to you,' which suggests that the person is searching for something familiar, something that brings them happiness, and the singer's smile is that thing.
The second verse of the song speaks about how the 'darkness' of this person has eyes to see, and they know the singer by their voice, but the person is capable of knowing much more. They offer the advice 'Don't fight the walls they're here for all,' and the singer acknowledges their insight, saying that they looked into their eyes and knew they were right. The chorus repeats, but this time the line 'you can hear what no one wants to hear' is added, which implies the person may have a more profound understanding of the world that others choose to ignore.
Overall, Blind is a poignant song about a connection that transcends the limits of time and space. It’s a representation of how deep conversations and human interactions hold some moments sacrosanct and create lasting impressions.
