Only A Vision
Destroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you I'm a mess
Waiting to come in
To hear your voice again
It never cought my breath
I wonder where I've been
So touch me how you did
This version of you
Is only a vision
This vision of me
Is far beyond reality
This version of me
Is only a shadow
The shadow you see
Will always be there
Seem to stop my breath
Without you I'm a mess
Waiting to come in
To hear your voice again
I'll pretend you're there
That somehow you still care
But I'm just holding air
So heavy and so bare
And as they turn and stare
I feel them burn like flares
To guide me back into the screaming night
Where we still claw at the stars that chained us
The lyrics to Destroid's song "Only A Vision" convey a sense of longing and desperation for a lost love. The first stanza reveals that the absence of the person has caused the singer to feel lost and unable to function properly, and they yearn to hear their voice again. However, the second stanza reveals that this version of the person the singer longs for is merely a vision, and the reality of the situation is far from what they desire. The third stanza speaks to the singer's own sense of inadequacy and the feeling that they are merely a shadow of their former self.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of the first stanza, and the fourth stanza reveals that the singer is holding onto the idea that their lost love is still there for them, but they are merely holding onto air. The final stanza speaks to the public's perception of the singer's situation, with a feeling of being exposed and on display for others to judge. However, even in the midst of this, the singer holds onto the hope of being reunited with their lost love.
Overall, the song reveals the longing and desperation that can come with a lost love, and the struggle to hold onto hope despite the reality of the situation.
