Visions in My Head
Obituary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These visions in my head
How can this be
Every time you blow my mind
I can sense that special something

Illusions in my head
How can this be
Every time you turn me down
I can sense that special something

You take me away
To the place I love
Then you waste my time
With all the hate you store

Oh tell me how
How you want it now
You need someone
And I need you now
And I need you now

These visions in my head
How can this be
Every time you blow my mind
I can sense that special something

Illusions in my head
How can this be
Every time you turn me down
I can sense that special something

You tear me down
Like a rubber doll
Then you save my day
With all the love you store

Oh tell me how
How you want it now
You need someone
And I need you now
And I need you now

These visions in my head
How can this be
Every time you blow my mind
I can sense that special something

Illusions in my head
How can this be
Every time you turn me down
I can sense that special something

Visions In My Head
Well back in time enough justified as
I am free to seek the unknown
Crawled inside as I realized and I fought
With these these visions in my head

Lost with time
A near scare
A feat that’s rare
Rare dark hole
Where stone and terror sells
That bleeds death through the bone

Lost your time is up
Set aside and out
Free to seek the undead
Blood bodies me
Blinded walls
They trap and call
And visions in my head

Lost with time
As cold veins and blood stains
A dark hole
Where stone and terror sells
That bleeds death through the bone

Well back in time enough
Justified as I’m free to seek the undead
Crawled inside as I realized
And I fought with these
Visions in my head

Lost your time is up
Set aside and out
Free to seek the undead
Blood bodies me
Blinded walls
They trap and call
And visions in my head

Lost with time
As cold veins and blood stains
A dark hole
Where stone and terror sells that bleeds death through the bone

Well back in time enough
Justified as I’m free to seek the undead
Crawled inside as I realized
and I fought with these
Visions in my head

Ah yes...Obituary proving once again you dont have to play 90 miles an hour with rediculous blasbeats to be heavy.

Heavy but boring as hell nowadays the terrible things about metal bands- everyone usually lays down their best material within the 1st 4 albums then labels drama politics et cetera seem to take over I used to love this band they are definitely respected by me and were an influence early on I miss alan and Frank or maybe just the passion for songwriting back then after the end complete I couldn't be bothered with them much glad they didnt pack it in though

The Spine Splitter

@n mac Wrong! I felt the same but got back into them & this time really listened closer & this new album kicks major ass!They are Leaders of what they do & know body can get anywhere close! I listen to this new album the most lately!
