Florence and the Machine – Blinding album version

Florence and the Machine’s ‘Blinding’ from her album Lungs. Get your copy on july 6th!

Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
I twist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
Cos all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Someone’s stitching up the circuitboards
Someone’s slipping through the hidden door
Someone’s stitching up the circuitboard

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Snow White’s stitching up the circuitboards
Someone’s slipping through the hidden door
Snow White’s stitching up the circuitboard
Someone’s slipping through the hidden door

    One of my favourites off the album. I love how it keeps building and then dies down to a whisper ending in a gasp…I’ve never heard anything quite like this. It’s dark, mysterious, and just beautiful. I adore the lyrics. Florence and the Machine is amazing.
