Blinded by the Lies
Carl Klang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your ears refuse to hear?
You turn your heart away from me
Each time when I draw near
Your eyes refuse to meet with mine
They glance away in fear
As if you should not look at
Your reflection in the mirror
When you won’t understand
You scoff me and you mock me
And reject the truth at hand
You spread your viscous rumors
All across this troubled land
You willfully and knowingly
Transgress from His command
Your mind has been made up for you
By people you don’t know
Who’s thought machines control the scene
So well it doesn’t show
How can I contain this anguish and this pain
Knowing that your eyes are blinded by the lies
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
Yes, your eyes are blinded by the lies
Yes, your eyes are blinded by the lies
Every time I think about the damage
That’s been done
The anger wells inside me
Till I’m almost over come
I want to tear the moon out of the sky
And block the sun
Why do I feel so all alone, like I’m the only one?
Even though your eyes are open
They may never ever see
Your mind may never comprehend
This simple subtly
Your heart may never hunger for the truth
That sets you free
Your soul may know
The darkness of divine eternity
Like petty thieves
Who plunder in the shadows of the night
they break inside
and enter through the windows of your mind
How can I control this poisoning of the soul
These lies that blind your eyes?
Blinded by the lies
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
Yes, your eyes are blinded by the lies
Yes, your eyes are blinded by the lies
Your mind has been made up for you
By people you don’t know
Who’s thought machine controls the scene
So well it doesn’t show
How can I contain this anguish and this pain
Knowing that your eyes are blinded by the lies?
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
The lyrics of Carl Klang's song 'Blinded by the Lies' narrate the struggles of the singer to make someone realize the truth while they remain indifferent. The singer tries to convince someone whose ears refuse to hear and whose heart turns away each time they draw near. The person's eyes refuse to meet the singer's, glancing away in fear, as if they should not look at their reflection in the mirror. The singer talks about the frustration of explaining something to someone who won't understand, and the pain they feel because the person spreads viscous rumors across the land. The person's mind has been made up for them, by people they don't know, who control their thoughts so well it doesn't even show. The singer feels a sense of loneliness because even though the person's eyes are open, they may never see, never comprehend, never hunger for the truth, and may always remain blinded by the lies.
The song's central theme revolves around the struggle to make people realize the truth and not fall prey to the lies propagated by unknown sources. The lyrics are powerful, evocative, and the song is beautifully crafted. The gloomy melody, accompanied by the guitar and drums, adds to the emotional and intense impact of the lyrics.

How can I convince you
I am struggling to find a way to persuade you
When your ears refuse to hear?
Because you are not listening to me
You turn your heart away from me
You are rejecting me emotionally
Each time when I draw near
Whenever I try to get closer to you
Your eyes refuse to meet with mine
You avoid making eye contact with me
They glance away in fear
You are scared of something
As if you should not look at
As though you are not supposed to see
Your reflection in the mirror
Your own flaws and shortcomings
How can I explain to you
I am struggling to find a way to clarify this to you
When you won’t understand
Since you refuse to comprehend
You scoff me and you mock me
You are ridiculing and belittling me
And reject the truth at hand
And dismissing the reality right in front of you
You spread your viscous rumors
You are spreading malicious rumors
All across this troubled land
All throughout this turbulent world
You willfully and knowingly
You are doing this deliberately and with awareness
Transgress from His command
Violating what is divinely ordained
Your mind has been made up for you
You have not formed your own opinion
By people you don’t know
Through the influence of strangers
Who’s thought machines control the scene
Whose thinking and worldview is shaping the narrative
So well it doesn’t show
So subtle that it is not discernible
How can I contain this anguish and this pain
I am struggling to control my emotions
Knowing that your eyes are blinded by the lies
Realizing that you cannot see the truth
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
Is it possible that you cannot see the truth?
Even though your eyes are open
Despite being able to physically see
They may never ever see
You may never grasp the truth
Your mind may never comprehend
You may never truly understand
This simple subtly
This basic, hidden nuance
Your heart may never hunger for the truth
You may never desire the truth
That sets you free
That liberates you from falsehood
Your soul may know
Perhaps spiritually you can understand
The darkness of divine eternity
The unknowable vastness of the divine
Like petty thieves
Similar to insignificant criminals
Who plunder in the shadows of the night
Who operate clandestinely under cover of darkness
they break inside
They enter without consent
and enter through the windows of your mind
And infiltrate and influence your thoughts
How can I control this poisoning of the soul
I cannot stop this corruption of the spirit
These lies that blind your eyes?
These falsehoods that prevent you from seeing the truth?
Blinded by the lies
Unable to see the truth because of deception
Have your eyes been blinded by the lies?
Have you been deceived and cannot see the truth?
Yes, your eyes are blinded by the lies
Yes, you have been misled and cannot see the truth
Every time I think about the damage
Whenever I contemplate the harm done
That’s been done
That has occurred as a result of deception
The anger wells inside me
I am consumed with rage
Till I’m almost over come
Until I am almost overwhelmed
I want to tear the moon out of the sky
I am so furious I wish I could cause astronomical chaos
And block the sun
Endangering the very life-sustaining energy source of the planet
Why do I feel so all alone, like I’m the only one?
Why is it that I am isolated in my perception of the truth?
