Lyrics
One day I woke up
Awakening to a new realization or understanding.
And I opened my eyes
Act of becoming aware or conscious.
I saw things I never saw before
Perceiving things in a new light, possibly unveiling hidden truths.
One day I woke up
A repeated awakening, suggesting a continuous process of realization.
I visualized
Gaining insight and understanding, seeing the true nature of things.
I saw things for how they really were
Perceiving the reality of situations without illusions or misconceptions.
Blind Me Blind Blind Me
Repeatedly pleading to be blinded, possibly expressing a desire to escape harsh truths.
One morning I woke up
Another instance of awakening, accompanied by the "gift of sight."
With the gift of sight
Receiving the ability to see things that were previously hidden or obscured.
I saw things I never saw before
Observing unfamiliar or unsettling aspects of the world.
One morning I woke up
Experiencing awakening during a conflict or struggle.
In the middle of a fight
Witnessing mistreatment of a loved one, particularly the speaker's mother.
I saw them treat my mom like a whore
Confrontation with a disturbing reality, possibly reflecting social issues.
Blind me Blind Blind me
Reiterating the plea to be blinded, suggesting the pain of facing harsh truths.
When I was young
Recalling childhood experiences and moments of revelation.
I opened my eyes
Opening one's eyes to the world, gaining awareness.
I saw my country lie
Perceiving deception or dishonesty within the speaker's own country.
I saw my God die
Witnessing a profound loss or crisis of faith, possibly in a higher power.
In my desperate search for honesty
Expressing a search for truth and sincerity amidst desperation.
All I saw were their lies and treachery
Finding only deception and betrayal in the quest for honesty.
Have driven me Blind
Concluding that the revelations have led to a state of blindness, possibly metaphorical.
