Conspiracy in Silence
The Eternal Afflict Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I believe ...
I had a dream of earthly harmony
No time for the blind to see
I had seen the sun for a little while
No time for the blind to see
Conspiracy - Conspiracy in silence
Conspiracy - You dance the spy
Conspiracy - Conspiracy in silence
Conspiracy - This deadly fairy-tale
Human hopes are only dreams
No time for the blind to see
Human dreams are only hopes
No time for the blind to see
No time for the blind to see




No time for the deaf to hear
No time for the mute to scream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Eternal Afflict's song "Conspiracy In Silence" convey a bleak message about the state of humanity. The song begins with the singer expressing their belief that they once had a dream of "earthly harmony," but this dream is quickly dismissed as there is "no time for the blind to see." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which seems to comment on the general blindness and ignorance that plagues society. It quickly becomes clear that the "conspiracy" that the singer is referring to is the collective unwillingness of humanity to face its problems and take action.


The lyrics are full of contrasts that underscore the song's message of hopelessness. The singer talks about the "sun," a traditional symbol of hope and light, but notes that it was only visible for a "little while." Likewise, the dreams and hopes of humanity are described as fleeting and insubstantial. The repeated phrase "no time for the blind to see" suggests that there is a willful ignorance among people, an inability or unwillingness to confront the reality of their situation. The repeated refrain of "Conspiracy in silence" underscores the sense that there is a dark, unknown force at work, manipulating events and controlling human destiny.
