“ ‘em ” being the girls, and show them a place where Murphy became who he is today. What the girls don’t know, is that that place is where the will be sacrificed, making Murphy seem even MORE cult-leader-like. They travel blindfolded in order for them not to know where they are or how they got there. Sinister.

The place where his mind got molded is most likely cult orientated, and he’s leading females there through a blindfold so they don’t get suspicious or scared of the setting that they are walking into.

Of course, he could also be referring to his own listeners: you’ll have to trust him as you listen to his music. It’s as if you’re blindfolded.
