Blinding Lights Lyrics

Yeah

I’ve been tryna call
I’ve been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I’m going through withdrawals
You don’t even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

I look around and
Sin City’s cold and empty (oh)
No one’s around to judge me (oh)
I can’t see clearly when you’re gone

I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I’m drowning in the night
Oh, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust
(Hey, hey, hey)

I’m running out of time
‘Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh

The city’s cold and empty (oh)
No one’s around to judge me (oh)
I can’t see clearly when you’re gone

I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I’m drowning in the night
Oh, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust

I’m just walking by to let you know (by to let you know)
I can never say it on the phone (say it on the phone)
Will never let you go this time (ooh)

I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch
(Hey, hey, hey)

I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch

Blinding Lights Lyrics Meaning

At first listen, the single is a summer banger about needing to see your sweetie that got away. Well, that’s kinda right? The Weeknd is known for having a dark side to his music, however. He revealed a darker meaning behind the single than the seemingly innocent lyrics suggest. 

“Blinding Lights’ [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights,” he explained. “But nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely. I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is.”
