The Day the Blind Revolted
Staple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Staples' song The Day the Blind Revolted convey a message of societal awareness and the importance of questioning the things that are presented to us as objective truths. The song's opening lines describe a group that has maintained control by presenting their beliefs as objective, but eventually, those who were once blind to their reality rise up to contest it. The following line, "The wool will pull with vigilance," suggests that it is important to remain vigilant in questioning what is presented as truth.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of maintaining a sense of individuality and refusing to accept things blindly. Staples sings, "Open eyes reveal the thing that's been missing: Peace of mind – that we won't fall for anything, or fall in line accepting rations naively. For now we find we won't be swayed so easily with open eyes." Here, "open eyes" refers to being aware and questioning of the things presented to us. Staples suggests that by opening our eyes, we can find peace of mind and avoid being manipulated.
In the second half of the song, Staples questions the ways in which society tries to mold individuals to fit into predefined roles. The lines "We take their minds away ‘til they believe the truth that we've made," and "We throw their hearts away so they will fit our society" highlight the ways in which people are manipulated to accept societal norms. However, Staples remains skeptical of these processes of molding and asserts that truth cannot be defined simply by geography. The lyric, "Virgin eyes smell conspiracy – there's more than what there seems to be," further emphasizes the importance of questioning the status quo and remaining vigilant to the reality that may be hidden from us.
Overall, Staples' The Day the Blind Revolted is a call to action for societal awareness and the importance of questioning what is presented to us. It encourages individuals to remain vigilant in their thinking and avoid blindly accepting societal norms.
