Going in Blind
Bold Dreams: Decoding Wicked Scoundrel's 'Going in Blind'
Lyrics
Rest on your laurels it's such an easy disguise
Resting on past achievements is an easily adopted facade
When you're running out and spew experienced lies
Deceptive tales born from dwindling resources of genuine experience
Too quick to judge; that high roads been paved
Rapid to criticize, the virtuous path has already been established
Too wise to go after dreams you once craved
Too knowledgeable to pursue once-aspired dreams
Though good intentions spilt with secret advice
Despite good intentions, valuable guidance is ignored
Don't give a damn, I'm not paying that price
Unconcerned about the consequences, unwilling to pay the price
No need to look out for the scoundrel to be,
No need to watch out for the scoundrel within, focusing on personal freedom
I've got to do it for me, I'm almost free!
Asserting independence, nearing freedom
Well fortune favors the bold, so I'm going in blind again
Embracing risk as fortune favors the bold, venturing into the unknown
Ignoring what I've been told
Disregarding advice received
Unprepared for what I need to defend
Ill-prepared for impending challenges
But fortune favors the bold
Emphasizing that boldness brings fortune
So I'm going in blind again
Reiterating the willingness to take risks despite uncertainties
Just like my heroes of old,
Comparing to admired heroes from the past
My heart and dreams are how I've always been lead
Guided by heart and dreams throughout life
So I'm going in blind
Approaching challenges without prior knowledge
Cavalier at a whimsical pace
Confidently advancing at a carefree pace
No demonstration for the thrill of the chase
No need for a display, pursuing excitement
To write in silver and review and revise
Expressing ideas in a valuable form, subject to critical evaluation
Held up to standards that would meet our demise
Facing standards that could lead to downfall
But consequently it's a unseen reveal
Despite consequences, revealing the unseen
Working bones down to dust into steel
Working tirelessly to strengthen oneself
Those empty promises mean nothing so move
Empty promises are meaningless, urging to move forward
You're out of time to choose, there's nothing to lose!
Time is running out, making choices without fear of loss
Well fortune favors the bold, so I'm going in blind again
Repeating the theme of fortune favoring the bold
Ignoring what I've been told
Choosing not to heed previous advice
Unprepared for what I need to defend
Facing challenges unprepared
But fortune favors the bold
Highlighting the positive outcomes of boldness
So I'm going in blind again
Continuing to venture into the unknown
Just like my heroes of old,
Drawing inspiration from admired figures of the past
My heart and dreams are how I've always been lead
Guided by personal aspirations and dreams
So I'm going in blind
Emphasizing the commitment to face challenges without prior knowledge
Well fortune favors the bold, so I'm going in blind again
Reiterating the theme of fortune favoring the bold
Ignoring what I've been told
Persisting in ignoring received advice
Unprepared for what I need to defend
Confronting challenges without adequate preparation
But fortune favors the bold
Emphasizing the positive outcomes of bold decisions
So I'm going in blind again
Continuing to embrace risks despite uncertainties
Just like my heroes of old,
Reiterating the inspiration drawn from admired figures
My heart and dreams are how I've always been lead
Remaining true to personal aspirations and dreams
So I'm going in blind
Committing to face challenges without prior knowledge
I'm going in blind
Repeating the determination to face challenges blindly
I'm going in blind
Emphasizing the determination to face challenges blindly
Yeah
Expressing confidence and determination
Oh yeah
Additional expression of confidence and determination
