INFO:
"Blind" is a song written and recorded by American rock band Korn for their self-titled debut album. It was released as the album's first single in 1995.
Concept:
"It's just this monster riff, and lyrically it's about me feeling that I'm blind to people taking advantage of me, blind to my depression, just blind to everything." Jonathan Davis
Music and structure:
It is one of the songs Jonathan Davis has written with his former bandmate from Sexart, guitarist Ryan Shuck. The fact that Korn has used this song on the album without crediting Shuck almost led to a case in court, but Shuck was later credited on the Greatest Hits Vol.1 compilation album when the song was used on that record.
The coda bears a strong resemblance to Cypress Hill's "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That", released a year earlier in 1993.
Chart performance:
"Blind" charted on the Canadian alternative rock chart, RPM Alternative 30, in November 1995.
Live performance
The song was used as the opening for all of Korn's shows, up until the release of Issues, where the single "Falling Away from Me" was used to open. However, "Blind" was used for the encore.
Music video
The music video is very similar to that of its succeeding single, "Shoots and Ladders". Korn is seen performing in front of an energetic crowd in a small stage room. A large "Korn" flag can be seen on the back of the stage. There are also clips of the band hanging out. The video was release in January 1995.
Demo version
The first version of this song had been recorded on the band's demo tape entitled Neidermeyer's Mind, released in 1993. There is a slight difference between these versions, as the primal version had a more heavy-metal atmosphere, and the version that appeared on band's debut album featured a hip-hop stylized bridge. The introduction is much like Primus' song "Too Many Puppies",[citation needed] and the following main (heavy) riff is more or less similar to Fear Factory's "Scapegoat".
Accolades
The song has gained major acclaim in the press.

It is also briefly used in Bill Nye the Science Guy episode on Volcanoes. This song was also featured in the 2k Sports video game NHL 2k8.

LYRICS:Are you ready?!

This place inside my mind, a place I like to hide
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!

Another place I find to escape the pain inside
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!

Deeper!.. Deeper!.. Deeper inside me!
To live a life that seems to be a lost reality
That can never find a way to reach.
My inner self
I stand alone!
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... [x12]
I'm blind [x4]
