Blindfold
Lyves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Baby you were 5 a minute
Eyes open
I didn't wanna see it
Took me to the tower of meaning
Then blindfold deaf
I can't hear it

Shoot me in the dark

You did it
Cover me in blood
(Cover me in blood)

I don't mean to blame your feelings
Just wanna be enough
(Just wanna be enough)
No, no
No, no

How could we reach the ground
(no, no)

Hope took me down
(no, no)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lyves’ song Blindfold present an intense emotional state of confusion, pain, and distress. The opening line, “Baby you were 5 a minute,” may refer to the initial euphoria and blissful state of the relationship. However, quickly the tone changes with the verse, “Eyes open, I didn’t wanna see it,” indicating a sense of acknowledging but resisting the truth. The lyrics shift to a metaphor. The line “Took me to the tower of meaning then blindfold deaf, I can’t hear it,” may symbolize a moment of realization, but then a sense of numbness and denial sets in, leading to being unable to comprehend and process the situation.

The chorus, “Shoot me in the dark, You did it. Cover me in blood (Cover me in blood),” could mean the pain inflicted during the breakdown of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that they don't “mean to blame your feelings” but just wants to "be enough." The line "How could we reach the ground, Hope took me down” can be seen as a reflection on the fall from the earlier stated state of elation and how hope is now both their comfort and downfall. The song ends with the singer's plea for a sense of resolution or understanding, with the repeated “No, no.”

Overall, Blindfold is a raw and intense presentation of a relationship's conflicting and challenging emotions.
