This song touches on a person's disillusionment with modern society and also remarks on the iraq war. Ideas such as blind acceptance of authority, lies, and ideals are addressed. The songs 'singer' is not blind to the injustice and bullshit of society though, so they are very saddened and frusterated. They fantasize about living in blind ignorance for the emotional and moral burden that it lifts.
The singer is not blind though, and the last verse of the song recounts this. Modern democracies and countries are flawed and need to improve. "I don't want to see this undemocratic, semi-automatic mediocracy and hypocracy". That's how Pain of Salvation feels about the current world and all of the democracies and governments.
