Bad Vision
Acid King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we had the bad vision
I could feel the rise
As the spirits surround
When it all came down
And we had the bad vision
Strange thoughts inside
When it all came down
And we had the bad vision
I could see their eyes
As the spirit surround
The lyrics to Acid King's "Bad Vision" give the listener a glimpse into a moment of introspection during a state of altered consciousness, possibly caused by the influence of drugs or alcohol. The repeated refrain of "when it all came down and we had the bad vision" suggests a shared experience with someone else, and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer describes feeling the rise of spirits as they surround them, and experiencing strange and intense thoughts inside their head. The final line of "I could see their eyes as the spirits surround" furthers the sense of otherworldliness, emphasizing the presence of supernatural beings in this heightened state.
The song's lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. Some might see it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use, or a warning against dabbling in the supernatural. Others might take it as a celebration of altered states of consciousness and the heightened awareness they bring. Regardless, the lyrics convey a sense of intensity and urgency, with the repetition of certain phrases emphasizing their importance.

When it all came down
Following the collapse of something significant
And we had the bad vision
Experiencing a negative perspective
I could feel the rise
Sensing an increase in tension or emotion
As the spirits surround
Feeling the presence of otherworldly entities
Strange thoughts inside
Unusual or unsettling ideas circulating in the mind
I could see their eyes
Witnessing the gaze of otherworldly beings
As the spirit surround
Continuing to feel the presence of otherworldly entities

There's something about the stark contrast of Lori's silky smooth, but almost haunting voice with that incredibly chunky guitar tone that makes this band unique in a genre that is so prone to getting stale.
