All Hail Blind Love
Celebrating the Resilience of Blind Love
Lyrics
Is this a revival
Questioning whether the current situation is a revival or the final moments at the end of a regime.
Or just the last breath
Suggesting uncertainty about whether what is happening is a revival or the dying breath of a regime.
At the end of the regime?
Reflecting on the possible end of a regime.
People toast our survival
People celebrate survival, possibly sarcastically, acknowledging the challenges faced.
As if slogging on
Highlighting that continuing despite challenges is seen as living out the dream.
Is living out the dream.
Suggesting that enduring hardships is considered a fulfillment of a dream.
So hold up your faces
Encouraging others to face the situation bravely.
Left to your devices
Commenting on human tendencies if left to their own devices.
You’d have killed us off
Suggesting that if left alone, people might destroy themselves.
We would have never kept going
Emphasizing the challenging nature of the journey.
If the going wasn’t so damned rough
Stating that the journey continued due to the difficulties faced.
All hail blind love.
Reiterating the ironic praise of enduring, blind love.
Don’t assume we’ve mellowed
Warning against assuming a softening of character.
We still think of one another
Stating that the perception of each other remains negative.
As a fraud.
Describing the relationship as strange and full of hatred and resentment.
Such strange bedfellows
Referring to the unlikely pairing in the relationship.
It’s the hatred and resentment
Acknowledging the applause for the negative aspects of the relationship.
You applaud.
Highlighting the negativity that is celebrated.
So fill up your glasses
Encouraging a celebration for more years of hurting each other.
Here’s to another thirty years full of
Expressing a toast for continued mutual harm in the coming years.
Wounding each other
Describing the relationship as consistently hurtful.
Like we just can’t get enough
Expressing a desire for more of the same harmful behavior.
All hail blind love.
Reiterating the ironic praise of enduring, blind love.
All hail the trail of failures,
Praising the trail of failures, slights, and remarks in a mocking tone.
Slights and snide remarks
Describing negative aspects of the relationship, such as failures and insults.
Flung with a sneer
Highlighting the negative attitude conveyed through sneers and remarks.
So add your wishes here
Encouraging others to add their negative wishes.
We can only hope you’re both
Expressing a hope that both parties remain blind to their negativity.
Still blind next year.
Emphasizing the ongoing blindness to faults as a desirable trait.
So hold up your faces
Encouraging others to face the situation bravely.
Left to your devices
Commenting on human tendencies if left to their own devices.
You’d have killed us off
Suggesting that if left alone, people might destroy themselves.
We would have never kept going
Emphasizing the challenging nature of the journey.
If the going wasn’t so damned rough
Stating that the journey continued due to the difficulties faced.
All hail blind love.
Reiterating the ironic praise of enduring, blind love.
