Vision
Ceberano Kate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only want to feel a part of something
I wanted to experience everything
I never dreamt it would take this far
But its too isolated, I'm stuck in here right now
Yes, I've been wrapt up in a vision
It feels so crowded in the sky
I've never dreamt of any competition
So many beautiful women with high expectations

it?s just like when we were at school
but far too complicated and less sophisticated
Yes, I've been wrapt up in a vision
It feels so crowded in the sky
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
Where, where can I get off
Ohh Ohhh Yes, Yes you know that this was the only game that I have ever invented
Aahh and I won't give it in stop change just give it up
I won't give it in till I get all that I wanted ohh ohh
And now I feel so badly cast
in this film that's playing way too fast
Playing way too fast, too fast, too fast for me
I've been wrapt up in a vision
It feels so crowded in the sky
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
Where, where can I get off
Where can I get off
Where can I get off
FADING OUT

Oh where, I won't give in, stop change give it up
REPEAT AS FADES

Overall Meaning

The song "Vision" by Kate Ceberano is about being wrapped up in a vision or a dream and the isolation that often comes with it. Ceberano sings about wanting to feel a part of something and experience everything. She never imagined that her passion would take her so far, but now she feels stuck in her isolation. She speaks of the feeling of being surrounded by competition and high expectations, just like when she was in school. These feelings of being trapped in a dream are conveyed through the metaphor of feeling like a deer caught in the headlights. The song ends with her questioning how she can get off of this never-ending track.

This song speaks to the many people who have been so passionate about something that they have become isolated from everything else. Sometimes we become so focused on our dreams that we forget about the world around us. We become trapped in our own vision, and the more we succeed, the more trapped we become. The song encourages us to question our goals and rethink our aspirations before we become too isolated.
