Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I hear, my God!
Prove to me, what I see,
What I hear, my God!
Prove to me, what I see
What I hear, my God!
Prove to me, what I see
What I hear, my God!
Take my flesh God,
Tear my pride
Take my pride God,
Tear my flesh
Take my flesh God,
Tear my pride
Yeah! Come on! Come to get some!
You want me ta drop the flava,
Yeah that's me, So what's up?
Come to get some!
Prove to me, what I see
What I hear, my God!
Prove to me, what I see
What I hear, my God
With the richest wisdom, spiritual inside
Check the knowledge,
And it shall come to pass, afterward,
That I will pour out my spirit on all flesh
And your sons (praise God) and your daughters shall prophesy
Your old men shall dream dreams
And your young men, shall see visions
Through these eyes! Is what I see!
Through these eyes! Is what I see!
Through these eyes! Is what I see!
Through these eyes! Is what I see!
These eyes!
Prove to me! Show me!
What I see! Break me!
What I hear! Carry me!
My God!
Prove to me! Show me!
What I see! Break me!
What I hear! Carry me!
My God!
The lyrics to D.E.E.P's song The Vision express a deep desire to have faith and believe in God. The repetition of "Prove to me, what I see, what I hear, my God!" suggests a desperation for confirmation and validation of one's spiritual beliefs. The lines "Take my flesh God, tear my pride" and "Take my pride God, tear my flesh" show a willingness to sacrifice and surrender oneself to God, which is seen as necessary for true faith.
The song also references the biblical prophecy of Joel, which speaks of a time when God will pour out his spirit on all people, young and old. This is seen as a message of hope and a promise that God will reveal himself to those who seek him. The lyrics "Through these eyes! Is what I see!" emphasizes the personal nature of faith and spirituality, and the importance of one's own perception and experience.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of urgency and a longing for deeper understanding and connection with God. It speaks to the universal human desire for meaning and purpose, and the search for something greater than oneself.
