Cover art for Blind lyrics by Placebo

"If I could tear you from the ceiling, And guarantee a source divine, Rid you off possessions fleeting, Remain your funny valentine."

He wants to bring this person down to earth so he can give them something more then their material possessions, he wants to rid them of their materialistic nature, even if he has to do it with this person thinking he is just their ‘funny valentine’

"If I could tear you from the ceiling I know the best have tried I'd fill your every breath with meaning And find the place we both could hide"

He knows it will be difficult to bring this person down to earth but if he could he’d teach them to feel/think and be truthful to themselves and others and not censored as they are because of their materialistic way of life. After this he promises to stay by this person and protect them.

“You don't believe me, but you do this every time”

This person doesn’t believe that they are materialistic and the person doesn’t realise they’ve hurt so many people because of the way they treat/manipulate people.

“I know we're broken”

Their friendship is deteriorating and they both realise that the relationship is ’broken’.

“If I could tear you from the ceiling, I'd freeze us both in time, Find a brand new way of seeing.. Your eyes forever glued to mine.”

If he could stop everything for a moment and make this person see things from his perspective .Or in accordance with the metaphor make them can see this problem/situation all through his eyes ‘your eyes forever glued to mine’.

“Don't go and leave me, And please don't drive me blind”

He doesn’t want the person to go because if they do he will be left with nowhere to go and not know what direction to go in so he’ll be ‘blind’ in a sense. But he doesn’t want to keep following this person because they’ll manipulate him and make him ‘blind’ because his views on everything will be glossed over by this persons selfish lifestyle. So it’s a lose-lose situation.

“I know I broke it” He is the one that made this friendship break, because he spoke up and told this person what they really were and they couldn’t handle it

... well thats how i see it. comments?
