[Intro] [syncopated muted electric guitar, synth bass, tight drums] [Verse 1] [male vocals] I thought it was true Every promise just improved Neon dreams and plastic skies So bright I couldn't see the lies Gold reflections in my eyes Missed the cracks between the signs Every step felt heaven sent Didn't notice what it meant I thought shine meant safe somehow Didn't hear the warning sounds When everything looks pure and right You don't flinch when you're blinded by the light [Chorus] Blinded by the light [shimmering synth pads enter] I couldn't see What it was really doing to me Burned my sight Stole my night Left me standing in the breeze Blinded by the light I believed Every glow was meant to lead Now the dark feels more like home At least I know what I can't see
