SO ABOUT THE SONG “BLINDING LIGHTS” BY WEEKEND
The song “Blinding lights” basically talks about the desire of the artiste to rekindle his relationship with a former lover whom he so much misses intimacy with; in terms of sexual intercourse and otherwise. This he revealed in the verse 1 view below…
“You don’t even have to do too much. You can turn me on with just a touch, baby”
He has also not been able to focus on anything since they went their separate ways.
In trying to win this his ex back to himself, he reveals that he has over time given up on love and has not been into any relationship for a while because of fear of ladies breaking his heart. Perhaps the reason he has totally forgotten how to love a lady. He however implores this his ex to teach him to to love cause he is willing to learn just to have her back and keep her in his life forever. This he also revealed in the verse, view below
So he I been on my own for long enough. Maybe you can show me how to love.
I’m going through withdrawals.”
MEANING OF BLINDING LIGHTS
Blinding lights in the context of this song means his inability to focus or concentrate on anything since he and his significant other broke up.
MEANING OF DROWNING IN THE NIGHT
Weekend used this line to emphasize how much time he spent in the driveway that night just to get to her so they can rekindle their relationship; he is however overwhelmed in it.
The chorus “I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights. No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch” basically emphasizes how restless Weekend is, and also how much he misses intimacy with this special lady. He is willing to go out of his way to have her back into his life even if he is going to be damned in the process.
This is real Oldies tune. The song comes in two verses; the chorus and pre chorus were taken twice. The rhythm flows well and and are well arranged. The major instruments used in the composition of the song include the drums, guitar, piano and harp.
Take a gander at the lyrics below.
