Colorblind
Vision of Disorder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking endless,
Pathetic species,
Lost in a myth
Breeding like rats,
Glorious glimpse at the heavens
Casting down on shallow threads
Over horizons that lay unlimited
Crazy world, crazy girl
Lost in the sunlight
Slaughtered, murdered
Over tragic century
Spreading claiming
A victim's plea
Don't find me misleading, deceiving
I am what I seem
A symbol a product a broken culture
but, bruised, stoned, drunk,
Walking dead...
I don't need your conclusion,
I don't need your reason
I will live the life I wanna live
Help me Jesus I can't,
Give what they want me to give
Only lost highways I stray
Towards the sunlight,
Where no one dares to wear a face
all colors blend,
Into sunlight
Rain down on me
Crazy world, crazy girl
In the sunlight.
What of the horrors, what of the hate
What of the fear, that we all face.
In you in me... b/c of our skin
We separate, retaliate the colors collide
In attempt to fuckin' survive
A twisted culture
CHORUS
Into the streets again, we all try to defend
A sacred place to feel safe. It's like a
Mockery of a society that's been laid
To waste with no chance. a place of broken
Dreams a place where nothing seems just
What it seems to be.
I try to open my eyes to a much
Brighter light.
but it seems to be, dying,
Taking us to the grave....
The song Colorblind by Vision of Disorder is a commentary on the state of society, highlighting how people are divided by their race and color. The lyrics suggest that we continue to segregate ourselves based on color, which ultimately leads to retaliation and hatred. The band is critical of this social construct and urges listeners to open their eyes to the brighter light and overcome the prejudice that exists within society.
The opening lines of the song draw attention to the trivial nature of humans, who are breeding like rats and walking endlessly without any meaningful purpose. The reference to a glorious glimpse at the heavens suggests a desire for something higher or more significant, but society remains lost in a myth. The singer then highlights the physical aspects of the world by referring to sunlight upon his face, but emphasises the crazy nature of it all. The use of slaughter and murder aligns with the brutality of our society, in which humans follow their prejudices and preconceived notions instead of really seeing and understanding the world around them.
The chorus of the song alludes to a place where people can feel safe and highlights the mockery of a society that has laid to waste. The inferno that is created within society because of differences is something that ultimately takes people to the grave. The song portrays a society that has lost its way, with the only hope being a brighter future that shows no elements of racism, prejudice, or hatred.
