Who do you think that you are
Why do you think you gotta go far
You better stop dreaming
Perhaps turn around and round
Open your eyes try to realize
Things are not what they seem to be

Try to feel and understand
The world is not yours to command
You're so blind
Prepare yourself for what's ahead
Things are not what you think they are
So open your eyes and realize
That you're still sitting in the back row
Oh you're so blind
You're so blind
You're so, you're so blind
You're so, you're so blind

You're so blind
You're so blind

The lead singer asks this person, "Who do you think that you are?" and questions why they feel they need to keep striving for success. He implores the person to stop dreaming and recognize that things are not what they seem. He emphasizes how "blind" they are to the truth of their situation. The lines "Perhaps turn around and round/Open your eyes try to realize/Things are not what they seem to be" hint that this person needs to change their perspective and start seeing things as they are instead of how they want them to be.

The chorus repeats the phrase "You're so blind" to drive home the message of how oblivious the person is to their situation. The following lines mention "truth" and "understanding," emphasizing the importance of recognizing reality and striving to understand the truth of their situation. The lines "The world is not yours to command/You're so blind" could be interpreted as the lead singer saying that the person needs to give up control and surrender to the reality of their situation before they can move forward.

The singer tells them to open their eyes and realize that they are still sitting in the back row, indicating that they have a long way to go before they can achieve true success.
