Bandits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
too much pressure in my vein
Shithead, silly pain
maybe I just went insane
You could be me
if you have the eyes to see
Way high in the sky
the old man sits an wonders why
Blinded
hope that you can see
All the things that I can be
I'm blinded
do you hear my call
tell me will you catch my fall
Slowpaced arrid space
Guess my life has been a waste
Wet cat in the rain
noone knows about my pain
Bullshit - waste of time
listen to your stupid lie
Everytime we say good-bye
I just hang my head and cry
Blinded
hope that you can see
All the things that I can be
I'm blinded
do you hear my call
tell me will you catch my fall
The opening lines of Bandits' song, Blinded, depicts a scattered and overwhelmed mind filled with a lot of pressure. The singer talks about feeling insane and disconnected from reality. The lines "You could be me if you have the eyes to see" indicate that the singer believes that people around him/her may not understand his/her situation since they lack the ability to see things from the singer's perspective. The old man, sitting high in the sky, wonders why things are the way they are, showing that even those in higher positions are not immune to questioning their existence and surroundings.
Throughout the song, the singer speaks about the disappointments and struggles faced in life, describing them as "a waste" and "bullshit". However, despite the negative experiences, the singer talks about being hopeful for a brighter future and for people to see their real potential, asking "hope that you can see all the things that I can be, tell me will you catch my fall".
Overall, the song Blinded speaks about feeling disconnected from the world and people not understanding one's experiences. However, it also speaks about hope and the desire for people to see beyond the surface and recognize one's potential.
