Send us a blindfold, send us a blade
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Find us a trap door, find us a plane
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave but the world won't let me go
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Leave it up to me
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Find us a trap door, find us a plane
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave but the world won't let me go
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Leave it up to me

The blindfold and blade allusions remind me of the personification of Justice. As seen in statues commonly found in courthouses, Justitia is portrayed as a matron carrying a sword and measuring balances, and sometimes wearing a blindfold.
I want to say the song is about the concept of justice and how it was the standard of objective truth until people started to push and distort it to their own means ("I was the one with the world at my feet "... "You gave me a life I never chose"). Distorted Justice's blind impartiality became apathy ("I was a blindfold, never complained") and left the victims ("survivors singing in the rain") to suffer, but their pleas are now answered and now it rushes to the rescue. A return of true justice ("Got us a battle, leave it up to me").
thank you for your interpretation, very insightful.
that was a really good interpretation!<br /> And it makes sense with the politics in the US right now, with Obama there seems to be a "return to justice"
The 9th line of the song is ""I was a blind fool, never complained," not ""I was a blindfold, never complained."
