Splinters Of Blindness
Sumatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the blindness
This time has come
Time of the shine
Now people can look at the world with clean eyes
It is result of straightness and boldness
Into right course
Life will be changed
Into right course
Peace comes inside in
To hearts of humans
Faith won't be icon
For the worship
Peace comes inside in
To hearts of humans
Faith won't be icon
For the worship
(The Voice of the Sun)
Son of flame and light
Come back to nest of virgin native land!
Your mission
Is complete
Now you can
Go to sleep
Take your award
You have deserved it
Pacification
And carelessness
Please forgive me
These sufferings
Warm light
Comes back to you
Hopeless life
Left behind
You must be born
One more time
You belong to me
I have given to
You an honest life
Don't go back to earth
You are
My son
I am proud for your acts
You are
My son
And you re my successor
You are
My son
I am proud for your acts
You are
My son
And you re my successor
Eyes are free
From the blindness
This time has come
Time of the shine
Now people can look at the world with clean eyes
It is result of straightness and boldness
Life will be changed
Into right course
Life will be change
Into right course
The song "Splinters of Blindness" by Sumatra speaks about a time of change in which people are no longer blinded. The first verse declares that people's eyes are free from blindness and that this time, which is the "time of the shine," has finally come. The next set of lines says that people can now look at the world with clean eyes, which is the result of the straightness and boldness that is exhibited. It seems to suggest that there was once a time when people did not have a clear view of the world, but that now things have changed.
In the second verse, the lyrics speak of the changes that will take place in people's lives as a result of this newfound clarity. Life will be changed into the right course, and peace will come inside the hearts of humans. The lyrics also suggest that faith will no longer be a symbol for worship, indicating that people will no longer be blindly following any particular religious doctrine. The third verse is addressed to the "voice of the sun," which seems to be a deity or a higher power of some sort. The voice of the sun tells the singer that their mission is now complete, and that they can go to sleep. The singer is given an award for pacification and carelessness, which suggests that they have brought about peace and calmness to the world around them. The voice of the sun also tells the singer that they belong to them, and that they have been given an honest and noble life.
The overall theme of the song seems to be about change, clarity, and enlightenment. It suggests that a new era has dawned, one where people are no longer blinded by their religious beliefs, and where they can see the world for what it truly is. The lyrics also discuss the reward that comes with bringing about peace and calm in the world. The singer is given the honor of being called the "son of flame and light," and is promised a warm light and a better life in the future.
