i had to interrupt some serious homework for this but i think, about a billion listens in, i've finally found what i think this song means. "temporarily blind" is, of course, not about not being able to see for a bit, it's about how in any given situation, we don't know everything there is to know. we actually know very little, hence the line, "i need to know where you're coming from."
i guess this only holds up for so many of the lyrics in the song, but i do think it's what doug's trying to get at here
