Described as "stream-of-consciousness" by Cox, each song was created extemporaneously over the span of several hours.
The lyrics of Let the Blind Lead are autobiographical, reflecting abuses he received as a child, past drug addictions, and his hospitalization as a teenager due to Marfan syndrome. Several songs concern his best friend Lockett Pundt, the guitarist for Deerhunter, to whom the album is dedicated. "Winter Vacation" is a reflection on the first time the two met, while in "Ativan", Cox examines his relationship with Pundt.
