I'd Rather Go Blind
Love's Pain: Choosing Darkness Over Losing You
Lyrics
Something told me it was over
Feeling an intuition or realization that the relationship is ending.
When I saw you and her talking.
The confirmation of the intuition when observing the person and another individual in conversation.
Something deep down in my soul said cry girl,
A profound inner feeling urging the speaker to express sorrow or sadness.
When I saw you and that girl walking.
Experiencing emotional pain upon witnessing the person walking with someone else.
I would rather,
Expressing a preference or choice in a difficult situation.
I would rather go blind, boy,
Choosing to go blind metaphorically rather than witnessing the person leaving.
Than to see you walk away from me, child.
Emphasizing the emotional difficulty of seeing the person walking away.
So you see, I love you so much
Declaring deep love and attachment to the person.
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby.
Expressing a reluctance to observe the person leaving.
Most of all I just don't,
Stating a strong desire not to be free from the relationship.
I just don't want to be free, no.
Rejecting the idea of freedom, indicating a preference for the relationship.
I was just, I was just,
Reflecting on thoughts and emotions in a contemplative manner.
I was just sitting here thinking
Recalling moments of intimacy, specifically the person's kiss and warm embrace.
Of your kiss and your warm embrace,
Describing a reflective moment while holding a glass, possibly representing self-awareness.
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, baby
Noticing tears on the face through the reflection, indicating deep emotional pain.
Revealed the tears that was on my face.
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the situation.
And
Transition to a direct address or plea.
Baby, Baby, I'd rather be blind, boy,
Reiterating the preference to be blind rather than witnessing the person leaving.
Than to see you walk away from me.
Emphasizing the emotional weight and difficulty of the person walking away.
