Blinded
Manu Armata Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breeding in society
It's all around unseen
A low form of anxiety
That's all it's ever been

Fascistic hatred discriminating
Of the human being
Based upon some utter bullshit

Winkers is what you use for seeing

Why won't you open up your eyes

A cold heart lost all reality
A slave to your ideology
No peace just hate
All I want is to eliminate
All of these sick philosophies

Fascistic just brainsick
Realistic you'll never be will never see
Narrow minded completely blinded

No sense of reality will you ever see
Open your eyes

Overall Meaning

Manu Armata's song Blinded is a commentary on the societal issues we face today. The lyrics consist of the band's strong opinion on the breeding of discrimination and anxiety that is not discussed openly in society. The song aims to expose the fascistic hatred towards individuals that is based on arbitrary reasons, and that this hate is only a product of one's own insecurities. The artist portrays this kind of discrimination as a form of sheer stupidity because of which an individual turns to being narrow-minded and blindly following what is thought as a norm within their community.

The message of the song suggests that it is high time for individuals to open their minds and see the injustice and atrocities that are taking place in the name of personal beliefs, philosophy, and ideology. The artist calls for a change that can only come if individuals are willing to go beyond their preconceived notions about another person's nationality, religion, and sex.

The artist reiterates that the need of the hour is to chuck out these sick philosophies and narrow-mindedness that puts people in chains of hatred and biasness toward others. Hence, the song is a plea to open one's eyes and not be blinded by what is going around in society without questioning the status quo.
