Blind
Blind Allegiance: A Descent into Darkness
Lyrics
I hear a voice in the back of my head
There's a persistent inner voice I hear
A lying conviction that fills me with dread
It's a deceptive belief causing intense fear
I think it might kill me
It feels like it could harm me
I'll do it instead
I'm willing to take action instead of letting it
The trigger is blistering red
There's a highly charged and urgent situation
Oh my God am I Real?
Questioning the reality of existence
I can't believe you're not real
Surprised that something feels unreal
But this sensation's so real
Despite feeling unreal, the sensation is tangible
I can touch it and feel
I can physically perceive and experience it
See
Suggesting a lack of significance in this situation
Nothing here will mean a thing
Nothing in this context holds value or importance
I have offered you my soul
Offering oneself completely
Give me power and control
Requesting authority and dominance
Fill this vase and empty hole
Wanting to fill a void or emptiness
I don't want this any more
Expressing a desire to be free from this
Give me power and control
Reiteration of the request for control and authority
Precious death
Life and death are valued
Precious life
Both life and death are seen as precious
Give me both I can't decide
Unable to choose between conflicting desires
Beauty lays before my eyes
Seeing something beautiful in front
A beaten god I crucified
Describing a deity in a vulnerable state
Close. Your. Eyes. And. see
Encouragement to visualize or perceive differently
I can't
An inability to comply with the instruction
Begin to understand
Unable to comprehend a significant burden
The weight of a mighty hand
Feeling the impact of a powerful force
That strikes at a broken soul
Being struck while already emotionally wounded
No choice for being born
Reflection on the lack of choice in birth
And here I sit and weep
Experiencing deep sorrow and despair
At the thought of me dying
Fearing one's mortality
I'll sow but who will reap
Planting seeds without assurance of reaping
The pearl that your throwing
Metaphorically referencing something valuable
Seek you will find me
Expressing a willingness to be found
Worship me blindly
Encouraging blind devotion or allegiance
Fall to your face and accept the almighty
Submitting to an overpowering force
Open the heavens you'll stay here forever
Desiring eternal presence in a divine realm
The violent shaking the core in the center
Emphasizing a disturbance at the core
Give me both I can't decide
Repetition of the struggle in choosing
Send me away
Asking to be removed or sent away
I'm blind
Expressing a state of being unable to perceive
I'm blind
Reiteration of the inability to perceive or understand
