Blind Boy
Breaking Chains: The Struggle of the Blind Boy
Lyrics
Don't you see
Expressing a sense of urgency or concern, advising someone to pay attention.
You're committin' yourself
Warning about committing to something, possibly negative or harmful.
On the street (Blind boy, blind boy)
Highlighting the environment or situation of being on the street, emphasizing a sense of vulnerability.
Blind boy (Blind boy, blind boy)
Reiterating the theme of being a "blind boy," suggesting a lack of awareness or understanding.
Your mommy and your daddy
Parents trying to guide and teach the right path.
Are tryin' to show you, whoa
Parents' efforts to show the correct way to live.
The right way to go (Blind boy, blind boy)
Reinforcing the idea of the right way, contrasted with the concept of being blind or unaware.
But you don't have to know (Blind boy, blind boy)
Emphasizing that the individual doesn't need to understand or acknowledge the guidance.
You're doin' bad things you know you shouldn't do
Pointing out engaging in negative actions consciously.
And it's turnin' around on you
Consequences of negative actions coming back to affect the individual.
You're doin' bad things you know you shouldn't do
Repetition of warning against engaging in inappropriate behavior.
And it's turnin' around on you
Reiterating the consequences of one's actions.
Blind boy
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the blindness to consequences.
You're just followin' your friends
Following peers without understanding their actions.
And you don't know what they do, whoa
Highlighting ignorance about friends' actions and their morality.
And you think it's right (Blind boy, blind boy)
Believing in the righteousness of actions influenced by peers.
But you haven't got a clue (Blind boy, blind boy)
Underlining the lack of awareness or understanding about the consequences.
You're just goin' around
Engaging in troublesome activities without a clear purpose.
Gettin' into trouble, whoa
Emphasizing the persistent involvement in troublesome actions throughout the day.
All day long (Blind boy, blind boy)
Repetition of being involved in trouble, possibly indicating a habitual behavior.
All day long (Blind boy, blind boy)
Continuation of the portrayal of persistent involvement in troublesome activities.
You're doin' bad things you know you shouldn't do
Reiteration of warnings against engaging in negative actions and their consequences.
And it's turnin' around on you
Highlighting the cyclic nature of negative actions and their repercussions.
You're doin' bad things you know you shouldn't do
Repeating the caution against engaging in inappropriate behavior.
And it's turnin' around on you
Reiterating the cyclical nature of negative actions and their effects.
Blind boy
Reemphasizing the theme of blindness to consequences.
Don't you see
Repetition of the urgent call for awareness and attention.
You're committin' yourself
Reiterating the warning about committing to something, possibly negative or harmful.
On the street (Blind boy, blind boy)
Recalling the street setting and the vulnerability associated with it.
Blind boy (Blind boy, blind boy)
Reiteration of being a "blind boy," underscoring the lack of awareness.
You're just goin' around
Continued engagement in troublesome activities without a clear purpose.
Gettin' into trouble, whoa

All day long (Blind boy, blind boy)
Reiteration of the persistent involvement in troublesome activities throughout the day.
All day long (Blind boy, blind boy)
Continuation of the portrayal of persistent involvement in troublesome activities.
You're doin' bad things you know you shouldn't do
Repetition of warnings against engaging in negative actions and their consequences.
And it's turnin' around on you
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of negative actions and their repercussions.
You're doin' bad things you know you shouldn't do

And it's turnin' around on you
Reiterating the cyclical nature of negative actions and their effects.
