Blinded By Science
Foreigner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blinded by science, where do I belong?
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I worry 'bout the world that we live in
I'm worried by all the confusion
I wonder 'bout the lies I've been reading
Is this a road going nowhere?
Or is someone leading us somewhere?
I can't believe we're here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm not an appliance, so don't turn me on
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I worry 'bout the world that we live in
I'm worried by all the confusion
I wonder 'bout the lies I've been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading
Is this a road going nowhere?
Is someone leading us somewhere?
I can't believe we're here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm not an appliance, don't turn me on
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm blinded by science, on the run

Ослепленный наукой
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Ослепленный наукой, где мое место?
Что в будущем, которое только началось?
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Меня беспокоит мир, в котором мы живем
Меня беспокоит вся эта неразбериха
Я удивляюсь всей лжи, которую прочитал
Мне интересно, куда ведет это безумие
Это дорога, ведущая вникуда?
Или кто-то куда-то нас ведет?
Я не могу поверить, что мы здесь просто так
Должно быть что-то, во что мы можем верить
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Я не машина, не надо меня включать
Что в будущем, которое только началось?
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Что в будущем, которое только началось?
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Меня беспокоит мир, в котором мы живем
Меня беспокоит вся эта неразбериха
Я удивляюсь всей лжи, которую прочитал
Мне интересно, куда ведет это безумие
Это дорога, ведущая вникуда?
Или кто-то куда-то нас ведет?
Я не могу поверить, что мы здесь просто так
Должно быть что-то, во что мы можем верить
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Я не машина, не надо меня включать
Что в будущем, которое только началось?
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Ослепленный наукой, я в бегах
Я ослеплен наукой и я бегу

Lou's vocals shine brightly in this one.. one of my favorites off of the very underrated Head Games
@ArizonaBasement
Great songs on Head Games - IMO, what killed Head Games was the stupid album cover - whose idea was that? :^)
@vickynomikou4005
Indeed!!!
@juanroa5780
Tantos años atrás,que escuche está canción y no la volví a escuchar más hasta hoy.
