@[ehc:27784] I think that, to understand "race the blind", you have to take the verse as a whole. In my view, the whole verse is telling us to find our own path in life, to not be so attached to traditions. Taste the wine = Dare to try new things Race the blind = Be crazy and adventurous. Dare to run blindly towards the unknown. It's the same meaning as "race the dark" - be fearless, play with life's possibilities. They will guide you from the light = "The light" here, I think, means what's normal, what's expected of you. I think being away from the light, in this case, is a positive thing. It means following your own path, not conforming. Writing noughts till the end of time = The path you chose in life doesn't have to make sense to anyone but yourself. It's the same meaning as "Write a lyric for the song only you can understand" |
