Are you ready?
[Verse 1: Jonathan Davis]
This place inside my mind
A place I like to hide
[Refrain: Jonathan Davis]
You don't know the chances
What if I should die?
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind
Blind, blind
[Verse 2: Jonathan Davis]
Another place I find
To escape the pain inside
[Refrain: Jonathan Davis]
You don't know the chances
What if I should die?
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind
Blind, blind
Deeper and deeper and deeper
As I journey to live a life that seems to be
A lost reality
That can never find a way to reach my inner...
Self-esteem is low, how deep can I go
In the ground that I lay, if I don't find a way to
See through the gray that clouds my mind
This time I look to see what's between the lines
I can see, I can see I'm going blind
I can see, I can see I'm going blind
I can see, I can see I'm going blind
I can see, I can see I'm going blind
[Chorus: Jonathan Davis & Head]
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind (I can see I'm goin')
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind (Going blind)
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind
I can see, I can see I'm goin' blind!
[Outro: Jonathan Davis]
I'm blind!
I'm blind!
I'm blind!
I'm blind!
About
“Blind” is Korn’s first single and music video. It was originally written and performed by Jonathan Davis' previous band Sexart, but underwent a number of changes before being recorded by Korn for their 1993 demo Neidermeyer’s Mind and even more changes before appearing on the band’s 1994 self-titled debut album. It was released along with “Clown” before the album came out, and then re-released as its own single in 1995, the same year the song saw some exposure on MTV in Episode 43 of the fifth season of Beavis & Butthead.
Originally credited only to the members of Korn, on later releases Sexart members Dennis Shinn and Ryan Shuck are also given songwriting credits.
