Blind Eye
Unveiling Denial: Turning a Blind Eye to the Tears We Ignore
Lyrics
Off in a world of our own
Being in a secluded, isolated world.
Where the discordant tone
Where the dissonant sound of unrest doesn't disturb.
Of unrest never riles
The peaceful town prefers to ignore the disturbances.
Our sleepy town of denial
A town in denial, avoiding acknowledgment of issues.
Where all of the tears people cry
Tears shed by people go unnoticed.
Fall on deaf ears
Deaf ears symbolize indifference.
For we turn a blind eye
Choosing to ignore and not address the suffering.
Off on our way to the stars
Embarking on a journey to the stars.
Over discos and bars
Passing over places of entertainment and socializing.
No rest for the like
No rest for those with wicked tendencies.
Of the wicked despite
Despite knowing the pain of others.
Knowing all of the tears people cry
Recognizing the tears people shed.
May fall on deaf ears
Tears may go unnoticed if we choose to be indifferent.
If we turn a blind eye
A warning against turning a blind eye to suffering.
We could lose a lot of sleep if we weren't so numb
Potential loss of sleep due to apathy.
To the steady stream of those who struggle in the night
Ignoring the struggles faced by others at night.
Through the tunnel at the end of the light
Metaphorically facing challenges at the end of the light.
God must have gone fishing now
Suggesting God is absent during difficult times.
With all that hell's dishing out
Hellish experiences without divine intervention.
One question have I
Pondering a question with no expectation of an answer.
Don't expect a reply though
No response anticipated.
All of the tears people cry
Reiterating the theme of unnoticed tears.
Do they fall on deaf ears?
Questioning if tears are heard by anyone.
Do you just turn a blind eye?
Raising the question of willfully ignoring suffering.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Vocalized expression, possibly conveying emotion.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Continuation of emotional expression.
