Blind is a turn often used to describe the visually impaired yet has a true meaning lost in translation...
A person who needs glasses to see is the purest form of blindness. Nobody understands their pain because they assume the glasses help them see just a little bit clearer when in reality, no matter nearsightedness or farsightedness, the accumulating blur that becomes your vision over the years of letting your eyes use bifocals as a crutch becomes humiliating. The slight wrongness of your sight is like having a popcorn kernel stuck up your a- I mean, in your teeth. And when fate leads you to be unable to fix a slight irritation, either by a scratch on your lenses or the way you look without your glasses on!...that is true blindness.
Fabio: "Dude have you seen my glasses? I can't see anything, I'm blind."
Todd: "I thought you were nearsighted...?"
Fabio: "Don't fucking bully me my pain is far greater than any of your peasant mind can handle!"
Todd: "Ok, good point. Your glasses are on your head."

2. Lacking the sense of vision. This can be caused by degenerative diseases, destruction of the retina/optical nerve, etc.
1. Are you READY?!?
A 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.
I COULD NEVER FIND A WAY TO REACH MY INNER-SELF.
I STAND ALONE,
I THINK AND I KNOW,
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!
