BLOOD. By Kendrick lamar; who is the blind woman?
A thread.
Context; In the track BLOOD. Kendrick Lamar narrates him talking a walk, as he is walking he notices a blind woman pacing on the street, appearing to looking for something, kendrick offers to help and the blind lady shoots and kills him.
You can interpret the blind woman to be a symbol for religion, sprit, a society, etc. I will try and explain who the blind woman can represent.
THE WORLD/ MATRIX:
When listening to the album 14-1 you see kendrick go through “the fools journey”, as he finds himself spiritually, he learns and understands the sense of self. Now that he has fulfilled his purpose, he is now a threat to the world (Blind woman) and it kills him.
You can think of it as the matrix, once neo found himself, the agents found him as a threat in the matrix. especially since kendrick has many references to the matrix. I am not very religious so that is how i interpreted it
RELIGION/ ISRAELITE: listening 1 - 14
In the track FEAR. We hear Kendricks cousin Carl talk about the 12 tribes of Israel (poc) and how they were punished by God for disobedience. carl says in the track, “Deuteronomy 28:28 says the Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness and astonishment of heart“
When the blind woman says, Kendrick has lost his life, she means kendrick a child of israel has been dead spiritually because he hasnt found himself and doesn’t follow gods commandments.
the religion story is definitely more in depth and all the way from Section .80 to DAMN. i just really love this track and it’s very under looked. this was a pretty weird and short explanation but lmk if there’s anything that i missed :)
