God Is Blind
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the lord's eternal game
Eat the dust
And kiss the book
Taste the wine of brotherhood
I don't want to hear the story
Of someone who lost his glory
Can you feel it too
I released myself from your grip
On my life
You lost all of your infallibility
Now, we're standing here
The more we have the less we give
Foul discord
Is what he sent
God is blind in the end
The song "God Is Blind" by De/Vision raises questions about the existence of a higher being who controls our lives. The first verse creates an image of a person who is running away from the lord's eternal game but unable to escape it. The line "eat the dust and kiss the book, taste the wine of brotherhood" suggests that one must surrender and follow the religion, by reading the holy book and joining the community.
The second verse opposes the idea of losing one's glory when one steps away from religion. The singer challenges the listener to question if they can feel the same way and free themselves from the grip of religion. The line "the more we have, the less we give" points fingers at those who hold power, be it religious or political, as they tend to lose the compassion they once had in their quest for control. The last line of the song, "God is blind in the end," suggests that the higher power isn't omniscient and may not be in control of everything.
Overall, the song expresses a more modern view on religion and the idea that it may have been used for power rather than truly believing in a higher being. It points out the danger of those who hold power and how it can corrupt individuals and a community.
