The June 2026 issue of Dork is available now, featuring Bleachers, Towa Bird and Myles Smith
This month's issue is full of self-belief, slow-burn growth, hard-earned honesty and the sort of records that arrive when artists trust their own instincts.
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.

About the Artist
Lyrics
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

Basement are back with what might just be their best album yet.
Each track is quick to entwine with and then tug sharply on your heartstrings.
Basement have the album they’ve always wanted.

It’s Download time, guys. Three days of mud, trying to survive the wonderful British weather, and some of the biggest bands in rock. It’s always a weeke...
