You Love Her Coz She's Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blinded
Now we're blinded by
A fraction of light from above
Already taken by infection
To take a beating from a second hand man
I'm sinking into this affliction
So hold your breath
For as long as you can
The opening lines of "Blinded" by You Love Her Coz She's Dead present a theme of helplessness and vulnerability. The singer seems to be referring to a kind of blindness that isn't physical, but rather a lack of clarity or understanding. The "fraction of light from above" suggests that there may be some hope or guidance available, but it is dim and fleeting.
The second and third lines bring in a sense of danger and threat. The singer feels like they have already been "taken by infection" which could refer to a societal or personal issue that has deeply affected them. They're now in the hands of someone who is content to beat them down (a second hand man). The line "I'm sinking into this affliction" highlights that they feel powerless against the situation.
Finally, the line "So hold your breath for as long as you can" is an ominous warning to the listener. It could be interpreted as a plea for endurance against the trials of life, but couched in the context of the rest of the song, it hints that the worst may be yet to come.

@gilesgames8860
Found them on google play music, don't understand how they're not as big as CC
@aniym21000
Because they were exactly like CC; for most people, one CC was enough. Back in the day, there were tons of Nirvana soundalikes but a good number got relatively famous because of the alternative rock boom. No such gold rush existed for chiptune/electro/witchhouse so besides CC, Justice, maybe Grimes, no one else really made it.

@Cataclysmic Proportions just sad because as much as I love cc ylhcsd is soooooo much better. They were completely underrated.
