Analysis of Lyrics

"Love Is Blind"
Push me aside when the day ends and my light is gone
Put me aside for a lifetime, put my lifeline so you feel you've won
I know I make look opaque
I may look like I've made way too many mistakes

These first lyrics convey the idea that the artist feels isolated and unwanted at the end of the day.  Whoever she is singing to clearly doesn't always show the same level of interest as other times.  She may be feeling slightly rejected.

I know the fire has burnt out
Know I gotta leave now
If a love was easy
If there was an endless sanity that I could hold on to
When I touch you
Hold on to

Here she is singing about how the fire has burnt out meaning she knows the end of whatever they have is nearing its end.  She then repeats about touching and holding which suggests whoever she is singing to and her have an intimate relationship and are very close.

Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out
In a shattered sky we're one star down

Here the lyrics go on about how behind closed doors, love is love in its rawest form. 

Pull me close in the sunset when the light is turned on
Pull me aside, am I ready yet, for the heaviness
It's getting darker now
I know I may look a little dazed
Burn on the edge, acting like it phases me

These lyrics suggest a time pressure.

I know the fire has burnt out
Now I gotta leave now
If a love was easy
If the walls an endless entity that I could hold on to
When I touch you
Hold on to

Here she is singing about how the fire has burnt out meaning she knows the end of whatever they have is nearing its end.  She then repeats about touching and holding which suggests whoever she is singing to and her have an intimate relationship and are very close.

Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out
In a shattered sky we're one star down

Here the lyrics go on about how behind closed doors, love is love in its rawest form.

Taking the air from the room
Strumming on words that you don't say
Gone is the person in you knew
You never loved me anyway

The singer admits to herself that the person she is singing to never really loved her anyway. 

Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out
Love is blind when the lights go out
Can't see the shadows flowing
Can't see the curtains closing and I'm telling you
Love is blind when the lights go out

Here the lyrics go on about how behind closed doors, love is love in its rawest form.
