Blinding Lights
Drowning in Neon Dreams: Blinded by the City Lights
Lyrics
I've been tryna call
I've been trying to contact
I've been on my own for long enough
I've been alone for a considerable amount of time
Maybe you can show me how to live, maybe
Possibly seeking guidance on how to live
I'm going through it all
Experiencing various challenges
You don't even have to say too much
No need for elaborate words
You can say it all with just a song, baby
Expressing emotions and thoughts through music
I look around and this city's cold and empty (oh)
Observing a cold and empty city
No one's around to judge me (oh)
No one present to criticize or evaluate
I can't see clearly when you're gone
Clarity is impaired when you're absent
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
Feeling overwhelmed and captivated by bright lights
No, I can't sleep 'cause you know I think too much
Insomnia due to excessive thinking about you
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Emotionally submerged in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
You are the person I rely on in this state
Hey, hey, hey
(Instrumental break, no lyrical content)
I'm running out of time
Feeling a sense of urgency or running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
Noticing the sunrise
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby
Speeding up, possibly to escape or reach a destination
Oh, the city's cold and empty (oh)
City appears cold and desolate
No one's around to judge me (oh)
No one around to pass judgment
I can't see clearly when you're gone
Clarity diminishes in your absence
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by bright lights
No, I can't sleep 'cause you know I think too much
Insomnia persists due to excessive thinking
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Emotionally submerged in the night (repeated)
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
Reaffirming trust in the person during difficult times
I'm just walking by to let you know (by to let you know)
Stating a message while passing by
I could never say it on the phone (say it on the phone)
Unable to express certain things over the phone
Will never let you go this time (ooh)
Determined not to let go this time
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by bright lights
No, I can't sleep 'cause you know I think too much
Insomnia persists due to excessive thinking (repeated)
Hey, hey, hey
(Repetition of instrumental break)
Hey
-I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by bright lights
No, I can't sleep 'cause you know I think too much
Insomnia persists due to excessive thinking (repeated)
