Korn - Blind Lyrics Meaning

I think that this song is about a person who is used by other people and is suffering because of that. It talks about lies and maybe about the use of drugs to escape from the pain.

I don't think that the "Are you ready?" means anything at all, but it's really cool.

Then...

"There's a place inside my mind, a place I like"

I think that the one who's saying this is the person who uses the other. He's saying that there's a place inside his mind where he hides the truth.

"You don't know the chances"
He's saying that he has no limits. He doesn't care about hurting the other one. He will keep on lying, although the other one is suffering.

"What if I should die?"
The one that's saying this is the person who's being used. He's realising of what is happening; he knows that there's someone using him. What if he doesn't want to do what the other one asks him? What if the liar needs him to die?

"A place inside my brain"
The same meaning of "there's a place inside my mind".

"Another kind of pain"
The new place inside the brain of the ohter person, the new lie, is equal to a new pain for him.

"You don't know the chances"
...

"I'm so blind"
He realises that, in fact, people use him and lie to him.

"Another place I find to escape the pain inside"
Maybe he don't know what to do, so he escapes the pain by taking drugs; the drugs are his way of escaping.

Later...

"To burn, to burn, to burn..."
I think that this means that he's going to "burn" his attiude. He's going to stop it.

"... cause I'm trying to live a life that seems to be lost reality"
He finds himself cheated by others, so he finds out that his life is in fact a "lie".

"I can't never find no way to reach mi inner self"
Maybe he's refering to the inner self of the other person.

"I'm staying so low. 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?"
He's been beaten; he's so low... and he wonders how much more he can be, how much people can take advantage of him if he doesn't make up his mind and realises of what's going on.

"This time I look to see what's between the lines"
This is very clear. Is the final stage. He's looking forward to know what do people exactly want of him.

They are just my feelings... maybe I'm right, maybe not, but...

GREAT SONG!
