The Blind Leading The Blind
Out Cold A.D. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They got no brains an' they got no eyes
They swallowed the lies got hatred in their minds.
They try to look for what they don't understand.

Blind men can't see
Got their heads up their butts
Blind men don't know
They're like a bunch of sheep

Blind men got no eyes
Blind men all around.

They yell from their cars
They hunt who they hate
Put the boots to them
They outnumber then they break.

They keep on spreading more fucked up kids
Strength in their numbers but not in their heads

Overall Meaning

The Blind Leading The Blind by Out Cold A.D. talks about people who are blinded by their own ignorance and hatred, which leads them to blindly follow others and believe in lies. The first three lines of the lyrics describe these people as having no brains, no eyes and being filled with hatred. These people search for things they cannot understand and end up believing in propaganda and false information, which drives them further away from reality.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Blind men," emphasizing the fact that these people cannot see things as they are. They are blinded by their own opinions and refuse to see the truth. The second half of the chorus describes their behavior, likening them to sheep that follow blindly. They are unable to think for themselves and instead, follow others like a herd.

The last verse of the song talks about violence and hatred that stems from these people's ignorance. They target and attack those who they hate, knowing nothing about them. They attack in groups, overpowering their victims. The final line describes their future generation as being "fucked up kids." The Blind Leading The Blind basically portrays the vicious cycle of hatred and prejudice that is perpetuated by ignorance and followed by blind masses.
