Vision Quest
Bloodlet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came to see the end
But it already began
A lifetime of consequence unleashed in a moment
I rolled up on the end
With my dick in my hand
Where had the time gone and who are my friends
I came to see the end I saw it second hand
Unholy waters heaven sent to take the lamb
There comes a time my friend when you must defend
What you believe at least that's what they said

I wish that someone
Would stop me from driving into the sun
I hope that someone
Will be there when I crash and burn

I hear it's unhealthy to inhale methane through a hollow stick
But you'd eat a shit sandwich if you thought it would make you look slick
Down here we don't take unkindly to your metal debauchery
I came to see the end but it already began
I sat down with misery and we became friends
We rolled up on the end
Helluva time we all had
Now that we've been there we won't come back again
I hear it's unhealthy to inhale methane through a hollow stick




Although the motive is still suspect the outcome remains the same
The bleeding injustice you've unearthed smells of its disdain

They mention a "lifetime of consequence" that is unleashed in a single moment, perhaps reflecting on the consequences of their actions throughout their life coming to a head at the end. The line "with my dick in my hand" suggests a feeling of vulnerability and exposure.


The second verse touches on the theme of mortality even further, with the singer seeing the end "second hand" and witnessing "unholy waters" sent to "take the lamb" - perhaps a metaphor for death.
