Blinded
The Movement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blinded by the sun
You cannot see and so you stumble when you run
Blinded by the night
Your delusion and confusion keeps you fleeing from the light
Blinded by your greed
You crave possessions when true love is what you need
The writing's on the wall
You gotta read it and believe it or you'll fall

It's all about that clean mind state
You keep running further and further away
And you're still hungry after you eat
You're bringing about your own defeat
So when you need me you just call
I'll be there to catch you when you fall
You cannot nod off inside their lies
Together we'll open up our eyes
Don't be…

Blinded by the sun
You cannot see and so you stumble when you run
Blinded by the night
Your delusion and confusion keeps you fleeing from the light
Blinded by your greed
You crave possessions when true love is what you need
The writing's on the wall
You gotta read it and believe it or you'll fall

It's all about that conscious choice
Cause how can you scream without a voice
When the words that matter, they get denied
And strength comes only from deep inside
And when you need me I'll be there
To show you the way out when no one dares
To give you a light to find your way
And guide you with sight to a better day
Don't be…

Blinded by the sun
You cannot see and so you stumble when you run
Blinded by the night
Your delusion and confusion keeps you fleeing from the light
Blinded by your greed
You crave possessions when true love is what you need
The writing's on the wall
You gotta read it and believe it or you'll fall

This should be misery, literally this is their thesis
You can find positive vibes but through telekinesis
If you're righteous then you will find the rest of Earth lies in pieces
Making way in the world for the wicked through cries and appeasements

You will battle for happiness over and over again
Crawling uphill is a struggle for millions of men
But if you try then you'll find you get closer and closer again
Then you can share wisdom with those who are willing to stand





Battle for happiness over and over again…

Overall Meaning

The song "Blinded" by The Movement is a plea for people to open their eyes and see through the illusions that cover their eyes. The song is divided into three stanzas, each highlighting a different type of blindness that prevents people from seeing the truth. The first stanza addresses the blinding effect of the sun, which makes people stumble and lose their way. It is a metaphor for the negative effects of excess and too much materialism that can take one away from reality.

The second stanza deals with the blinding effect of the night. This represents confusion and delusion, which take people in the opposite direction from where they need to be. The final stanza deals with the blinding effect of greed, which keeps people seeking only material possessions instead of finding true love, joy, and inner peace.

In the chorus, the lead singer emphasizes the importance of a clean mind state and the need to open our eyes and face reality. The song highlights the importance of being conscious and making the right choices, finding our inner strength and guiding others out of the darkness.
