Blind Eye Songtext
von Dan D Lion
Blind Eye Songtext
I can′t quite find the right words to say
An empty page, I'll start by writing your name
From a friend to a friend
Know that I am here to defend you
When you′re on the frontline, oh
I've gotta take a step back sometimes
When you wanna be heard, amplified
I won't turn a blind eye
Blind eye
This time I won′t turn away
Switch the lights
I can still make out what′s happening
If I visualise
I can see the world overexposed
You can switch the lights
And I'd still hear the voice from the other side
Won′t turn a blind eye
There must come a time when it falls apart
It was never your role to restart the start
But I'm listening, I′m not innocent
Start with love, that's the minimum
Damn, I don′t know how to say this
I'm questioning my status
It's on the line, it′s on the line
Man, it′s a heavy conversation
And I hope it doesn't change us
Just tell me when, I′m listening, yeah
I mean, it's a difficult topic to discuss
Because we all have privilege, like everybody has privilege
I mean, I have privilege over a next person
A next person has privilege over me
But I think ultimately, it′s just like friendship
It's like looking at people around
You and seeing what you have over them
And it′s easy to not see what you have over someone
Like I, I do it every day
But I can't just like keep my eyes closed, I can't just cover my eyes
Blind eye
This time I won′t turn away
Switch the lights
I can still make out what′s happening
If I visualise
I can see the world overexposed
You can switch the lights
And I'd still hear the voice from the other side
I won′t turn a blind eye
An empty page, I'll start by writing your name
From a friend to a friend
Know that I am here to defend you
When you′re on the frontline, oh
I've gotta take a step back sometimes
When you wanna be heard, amplified
I won't turn a blind eye
Blind eye
This time I won′t turn away
Switch the lights
I can still make out what′s happening
If I visualise
I can see the world overexposed
You can switch the lights
And I'd still hear the voice from the other side
Won′t turn a blind eye
There must come a time when it falls apart
It was never your role to restart the start
But I'm listening, I′m not innocent
Start with love, that's the minimum
Damn, I don′t know how to say this
I'm questioning my status
It's on the line, it′s on the line
Man, it′s a heavy conversation
And I hope it doesn't change us
Just tell me when, I′m listening, yeah
I mean, it's a difficult topic to discuss
Because we all have privilege, like everybody has privilege
I mean, I have privilege over a next person
A next person has privilege over me
But I think ultimately, it′s just like friendship
It's like looking at people around

And it′s easy to not see what you have over someone
Like I, I do it every day
But I can't just like keep my eyes closed, I can't just cover my eyes
Blind eye
This time I won′t turn away
Switch the lights
I can still make out what′s happening
If I visualise
I can see the world overexposed
You can switch the lights
And I'd still hear the voice from the other side
I won′t turn a blind eye
