DEEP PURPLE

- Child In Time Lyrics

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah

Sweet child in time,time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying they're killing everyone

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
I need [Incomprehensible]

What is the meaning behind Child In Time lyrics?


When we look deeper into its meaning, the track 'Child In Time - 1995 Remastered Version' by Deep Purple focuses on the duality of good and evil, represented by a 'line' dividing them. The 'blind man shooting at the world' is a metaphor for the chaos and violence in the world who, at the same time, inflict caution and readiness to impact negatively. The lyrics ask the listeners to be tough when bad moments come, and they demonstrate this toughness through the symbols of closing one's eyes, bowing the head, and waiting for the 'ricochet' - a figure of speech for the effects of a person's decisions bouncing back. Child in time lyrics are characterized by strong emotions like angst, despair, contemplation, social critique, and rage. Still, the song has a good-on-good issue and violence consequence message as well. The lyrics include violence and talk about shooting and bullets, which may not be appropriate for children below 13 years. The metaphor of a 'blind man shooting at the world' and 'bullets flying' hints an intensity that is not suitable for younger viewers.
