Snowblind
Ozzy Osbourne · Speak Of The Devil [1986]
What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
(cocaine)
Something blowing in my head
Winds of ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me
Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow
Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
(cocaine)
Something blowing in my head
Winds of ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me
Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow
Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
Snowblind - Ozzy Osbourne
Recorded for the 1986 album Speak of the Devil, 'Snowblind' stands as a defining track in Ozzy Osbourne's evolution from hard rock to heavy metal. The song features his signature raw vocal delivery and a driving, distorted guitar tone that characterizes the mid-80s metal sound. Released during a period of intense creative output, the recording captures the aggressive energy and theatricality that became hallmarks of his discography. As a staple of his live performances and a key component of the Speak of the Devil catalogue, the track remains a powerful example of Osbourne's ability to blend melodic sensibilities with heavy riffs, cementing his status as a pioneer of the genre.
