Song Meaning of “Blindside” by Secrets
The song “Blindside” by Secrets speaks to the feeling of being blindsided by a person and no longer trusting them. The lyrics paint a picture of betrayal and heartache, as the narrator is struggling to come to terms with the person’s deception.
The chorus reflects the overwhelming sense of betrayal inherent in the situation – “Betrayal is an emotion / that I’m facing for the first time / So last night I quietly died” – and the verses reflect the struggle of the narrator to comprehend the unexpectedness and heartache of the situation – “I feel like I’ve been left behind / And I can’t accept the truth / I didn’t see it coming”.
The song alludes to the difficulty of overcoming the shock of the sudden betrayal – “But I’m trying to keep my head up / To stand tall and take my chances / So guess I’m learning what it means to fly” – as well as to the dissolution of a once trusting relationship – “The nights without you linger / You’ll never speak the truth again / To blindside me in a single night”.
The song conveys a powerful message of emotional pain and suffering caused by betrayal, and speaks of the struggle to overcome it.
