About This Track

'Blinded Bye' by Basement is an Alternative track from the album 'Promise Everything (Deluxe)', released in 2017. The lyrics circle around a desire for singularity in a bleak, green burial image, paired with a wish to see what the speaker has become. Repeated lines return to being stuck in place, “blinded” by the physical fact of where their feet are, and a willingness to please, even if it becomes fixed. The song’s gaze is trapped between yearning for an exit and the claustrophobic certainty of staying grounded.

"Blinded Bye" is a track by Basement, from the album Promise Everything (Deluxe), released 3rd March 2017. The track is 2:39 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Basement.

Lyrics

Blinded Bye

I want to be the only one buried in green under a sun
Hoping to see what I've become
I want to be the only one buried in green under a sun
Hoping to see what I've become
Happy to please and set in stone
Hey I want to see the way out
Blinded by the way my feet are on the ground
Swimming up stream to find my soul
Behind the scenes, another role
Sleeping with screams until I'm old
Push me to make me lose control
Hey I want to see the way out
Blinded by the way my feet are on the ground
Come down now
I'll take round now, I'll show you how to stay down
