As I Lay Dying Debut New Song ‘Blinded’ With Music Video
Last year, metalcore icons As I Lay Dying roared back with the "My Own Grave" single. Then came the announcement of their comeback album, Shaped By Fire, alongside the new track "Redefined" and now they've debuted a music video for "Blinded."
It's another frenetic scorcher from As I Lay Dying, who sound wholly invigorated and glad to be back. Lyrically therapeutic, Tim Lambesis is still tackling personal issues as he deals with the fallout of his imprisonment for attempting to procure a hit on his now ex-wife.
Read the lyrics to "Blinded" directly below and watch the music video toward the bottom of the page.
Have you ever been blinded by the pain?
Blinded (blinded) by the pain
Unwilling to see, senseless
So blinded by selfishness only focusing on myself
And ignoring anyone elseBecoming driven by despair
Feeling trapped into a corner
Losing more and more of reality
Perceiving all the hurt only one-sidedlyHave you ever been blinded by the pain?
Losing yourself inside the heartacheLosing yourself
Feeling too powerless to change
Stuck and unable to escape
Incapable to see another way
I need someone to shake me... to wake meI don't even need full clarity
Just to start the shift from blind to blurryHave you ever been blinded by the pain?
Losing yourself inside the heartache
And does that mean we cannot change?
Or will we always be seen that way?Will we always be seen that way?
And does that really mean we have not changed?Or does it only mean
The truth is not in how we're seen?
But in the actions that we're now determined to take
Revealing the new path we chose to mend the heartache
Was it a pattern or a disastrous mistake?
Is the truth in what you see or what i say?Have you ever been blinded by the pain?
Losing yourself inside the heartache
And does that mean we cannot change?
Or will we always be seen that way?
Be seen that way?
Blinded by the pain?And does that really mean we have not changed?
Shaped By Fire, As I Lay Dying's first record since issuing Awakened in 2012, drops next week on Sept. 20.
