The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Blinding Lights" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

In "Blinding Lights", The Weeknd sings about feelings of loneliness and longing for a former lover. The lyrical protagonist is in Las Vegas, the "city of sin", which feels empty and cold without her. The city's bright lights, a metaphor for parties and entertainment, blind him, preventing him from finding peace and forgetting.

He confesses that he tries to drown out the pain of separation, but nothing helps. The hero craves the touch of his beloved, only next to her does he feel safe. He understands that his behavior is destructive, he is "drowning in the night", but only she can be trusted in this state.

Closer to dawn, realizing that time is running out, the hero decides to act. He gets behind the wheel and rushes at high speed, possibly to his beloved. He is determined to get her back, promising himself not to let her go again.

The whole song is imbued with pain, loneliness and despair. The bright lights, usually associated with joy and fun, here become a symbol of his pain and inability to forget.

Yeah!

I've been tryna call,

I've been on my own for long enough,

Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe.

I'm going through withdrawals,

You don't even have to do too much,

You can turn me on with just a touch, baby!

I look around and

Sin City's cold and empty, (Oh)

No one's around to judge me, (Oh)

I can't see clearly when you're gone.

I said, "Ooh, I'm blinded by the lights!

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch."

I said, "Ooh, I'm drowning in the night!

Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust."

Hey, hey, hey!

I'm running out of time

'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky,

So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh!

The city's cold and empty, (Oh)

No one's around to judge me, (Oh)

I can't see clearly when you're gone.

I said, "Ooh, I'm blinded by the lights!

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch."

I said, "Ooh, I'm drowning in the night!

Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust."

I'm just walking by to let you know, (By to let you know)

I can never say it on the phone, (Say it on the phone)

Will never let you go this time. (Ooh)

I said, "Ooh, I'm blinded by the lights!

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch."

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

I said, "Ooh, I'm blinded by the lights!

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch."
