Blind Lyrics

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never...

    The song Blind is a song Jason Wade wrote about what his father did when jason was a child. If you've ever seen the video it's about a faher who sleeps with countless women everyday. And has no care for his child's feelings and what not. Adn was never around. And that's exactly what happened to Jason as a child. Jason gave this information in a interview.

    I think this song is about a guy who loves a girl more than anyone else but due to circumstance (girl had a boyfriend, leaving for college/military, etc.) he never told her how much he loved her because it wouldn't "be right."

    I believe that he "couldn't make her see it" - not because SHE blind to his love, but because HE choose not to SHOW HER the love he had for her - and now HE regrets it.

    I think he is looking back on the choice he made and now he wishes he would have told her how he really felt, and still feels.

    Once a soul mate always a soul mate.

    I think blind is about how a teenager feels about thier parent. Like thier parent has an issue, whatever it may be (drugs, alcohol, divorce) and the kid just can't take it when they are around them now. Because it brings back so many memorys about how it felt before they had that problem. And the teenager is saying how they love thier parent but the problem he/she has is making thier love blind and un-readable. And they just keep saying how they never thought they would make it to that point, and how they just have to give up on that person.

    The song is has so many meanings to it and can’t take it into there own perspective . When you love someone as much I did and sacrificed for the ones I was the closest with , betrayed , lied and emotionally , physically and mentally abused me for years ,(My EX HUSBAND) he tried so hard to break me even after we were divorced , we had 4 beautiful children that not only did GOD bless us with but you chose to listen to a snake in the garden , and chose to listen to lies and deception in over the voice of truth where are children were concerned , I always wanted what was best for you even after what you did to me not only as the ONLY MOM to our children but as a woman of integrity. God will judge you for the mistreatment and insecurities and Narcissistic behavior that you choose to reflect onto our children and the bias rigid demonic behavior for what you have done and the PIG SIck P. That you’re married to will be held accountable for the what you both have done . You thought by being vindictive towards me not only as the mother to our children but a woman of integrity that I speak truth , your lies and deceptive motives will be exposed . You will REAP what you have done SC and SP , regarding the division you both have tried to come between me and my children . What’s sad is that you know how much I love my children you know how much I sacrificed for them , you know what you did and I still know what you’re still doing ! You’re blind to reality , reality is breaking the law and kidnapping my children in your demonic scheme will come to a head , Justice will be served on you both and whomever was connected in motivating you with your lies and falsefied documents that you both have tried to play the victim LMAO , not only have you both lied to police officers but your both on a FBI Govermental Watch list , of being a criminal WOW! Amazing you married that PIG , and now look SC you totally downgraded apparently you are very desperate and you both disgust me it’s called TRASH both of you are . SC you’re not a good dad you’re abusive mentally physically and mentally emotionally and you will PAY ME back for EVERYTHING you have stole from me , money , time my kids the property damage you have caused , like I said you should have never started this war with me because the COPS , law enforcement have been notified they are looking for you SC and PIG SP ….. hope it was worth it , because where I stand looks like both of you are about to be facing prison time … you got the message !

    The singer Jason Wade stated in an interview that the song was about feelings of his father coming from a broken home. This song is so deep and beautiful, it sounds like he is singing about love for a woman. But its his love for his father.There arent too many songs like this. When I separated from my wife, and couldnt see my kids as before, I listened to this song over and over. That a boy could love his father so deeply, and feel so hurt that he walked out on them..I never want my own kids to feel that. He said " After all this time, I never thought we'd be here..Why would u want to leave it?"...ie. After all they went through, he cant believe he would walk away. Thats very heartbreaking as a father to hear.

    When I first heard this song,I remember someone who used to be part of me.This person has really inspired me to fight and move on.I should have told him from the start that I have feelings for him..I guess its too late to do that now.We have our own different path..Letting go of that person was probably the hardest thing to do..

    I miss him..

    Every time I hear this song,it always reminds me of the man I truly love.The agony that I felt when I never told him how I really care and love him.I think its too late to do that now.Hes gone...This song is for you...

    You are the most extraordinary guy I have ever been with..but I have to let you go though it really kills me inside..hope your happy now..

    My interpretation is that He loved her for her and it isn't that she wore black and all of that it is that he loves her for who she is and he couldn't get her to see that someone actually cared about her for who she was.

    If you followed the progression of Lifehouse, Jason's band, you can see the gradual omission of God. What started as a Christian band is now completely secular. I wonder if Jason lost his faith and the song Blind is about losing his relationship with his almightly Father. I went down this path myself, so I can personally relate to this struggle and heartache. In the end, though, is what makes great songs so beautiful. They can mean different things to different people.

    Because the singer is male and mentions on the second line of the lyrics about a "he" leaving the place; I think this song is about a gay boy dumped by his lover.

    I think this song is about a father that leaves his family, seen from the eyes of a child. Children love their parents unconditionally and can see past the faults, thereby making them "blind" to imperfections. Over time, this child let go of his father's image and his memories.

    Lifehouse is a Christian band. I think that in 'blind' it's actually pointing to the pain christians feel when a non-believer turns away from following Christ. "When my love for you was blind, and I couldn't make you see it, couldn't make you see it" speaks to the heartbreak we feel when we're trying to show someone God's grace and love and the love we have for that person because of God. It hurts. We don't understand why they can't see it, and we want them to come to know God, to know that peace and love that only He can bring. When we can't, it's...difficult. It is one of the hardest things to understand. Blind cuts to the core of that feeling.
