Blind Before I Stop Lyrics

I'll go blind before I stop
And I'll go blind before I stop,
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop,
'cause this boy mama just wanna rock

There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones
Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul
A lightning bolt petition, tonight I'm gonna sign
Trouble out my window and I'm gonna find it
And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
I'll go blind before I stop
And I'll go blind before I stop,
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop,
'cause this boy mama just wanna rock

Moonlite madness masquerade,
I got my invitation, baby, time to play
Rip off the headphones,
Shove my arm into the socket
Sound comes rushing thru me like an intravenous rocket
And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
Doin' it in the market, doin' it in the mall
Doin' it in the bushes and the high school hall
Doin' it in the alley, doin' it for free
Now they're doin' it baby on MTV
Doin' it in the backseat, doin' it on the beach
Doin' it in the grandstand, just dancin' on the seats
Doin' it in the movies, doin' it on the train
Doin' it mile high in a big jet plane
And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
And I'll go blind before I stop,
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up

I'll go blind before I stop

      Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
      I'll go blind before I stop
      And I'll go blind before I stop,
      They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
      And I'll go blind before I stop,

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song reminds me of how my parents are so sick and tired of hearing me blare Meat Loaf songs and scream them at the top of my lungs all the time. They've tried to get me to stop, but I never will!! hahaha!!

And I don't think it's all about sex, I think it has to do a lot about playing a lot of freakin' loud music, and being a crazy stupid teenager lol.
