Rich And Blind

Juice WRLD's 'Rich And Blind' is a poignant exploration of the paradoxes of fame, wealth, and inner turmoil. The song delves into the artist's struggles with mental health, substance abuse, and the existential questions that plague him despite his success. The recurring line, 'Is a lost soul, rich and blind,' encapsulates the central theme: the idea that material wealth and fame do not equate to happiness or fulfillment. Juice WRLD reveals that beneath the surface of his public persona lies a deeply troubled individual grappling with profound sadness and confusion.

The lyrics also touch on the artist's awareness of his own mortality and the destructive path he is on. References to 'perkys' (Percocet) and 'laced pills' highlight his struggles with addiction, while lines like 'Life's unreal and death's uncertain' and 'I know I have a purpose, but I don't see the purpose' underscore his existential angst. Juice WRLD's reflections on the deaths of friends and peers add a layer of grief and loss, making the song a tribute to those who have passed away and a cry for help from someone who feels trapped in a cycle of despair.

In addition to its heavy themes, 'Rich And Blind' also features moments of dark humor and bravado, as seen in lines like 'But hold on, your girl on my line, I think I may just fuck her first.' These moments serve as a coping mechanism, a way for Juice WRLD to maintain a semblance of normalcy and keep the 'good vibe going' despite his inner turmoil. The song ultimately serves as a raw and unfiltered look into the mind of an artist who, despite his outward success, feels lost and blind to his true purpose in life.
