Visions
Desultory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The final call I hear
Darkness falls eternally
Inside embraced with fear
Breeding fear comes over me
Scared of what I'll find
Darkest recollections
Death intrudes my mind
With open eyes I shall behold
I'm not afraid to see
What will I find, who will I meet
What visions will I see
Chaos sinks into my mind
What will become of me
Descend into another world
The place of final peace
A new dimension far away
Where everything will cease
Now, silently I'll march towards the end
Life is hidden well beyond the veils of pain
Go beyond, experience
What no one did before
To the place where time is dead
And stay forever more
Darkest place, emptiness
No visions left to see
This is the place where I will spend
Eternal destiny
The lyrics to "Visions" by Desultory describe a person's inner turmoil as they contemplate their own mortality. The opening lines "Visions sweeps across my mind / The final call I hear / Darkness falls eternally / Inside embraced with fear" suggest that the singer is haunted by thoughts of death and is fearful of what comes next. This fear manifests as "breeding fear" and "darkest recollections" that come over the singer, hinting at a troubled past that now complicates their view of the future.
The second verse describes the singer's resolve to face their fear head-on: "With open eyes I shall behold / I'm not afraid to see". They wonder what they will find, who they will meet, and what visions they will see as they descend into the "place of final peace", which is portrayed as a new dimension far away. Despite this sense of adventure, the singer eventually comes to accept that death means the end of everything: "This is the place where I will spend / Eternal destiny".
Overall, the lyrics to "Visions" deal with the universal human fear of death and what lies beyond. The words are introspective and contemplative, reflecting the personal journey of the singer as they come to terms with their own mortality.
