Visions
Dying For It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd think that we can see this through
You tell me I need to change
But I don't think we see the same
Is it me that sees things just so out of focus?
What will it take to make it, make it, MAKE IT CLEAR?
The things I've done would make you proud
But you're too blind to notice
Too worried with your crowd
VISIONS, VISIONS, VISIONS, VISIONS OF YESTERDAY
You ignore so you don't see the goals set out and met by me
The life I lead is not for you, your vision's only got you skewed
I can't believe I spent my time on someone who left me behind
A friendship that once meant the world, neglect has left me asking
How can you write me off?
I feel that I'm not enough for you to stay
I think that I've had enough
I try to look up, but things just seem the same
I've made up my mind today
Look away from the past and on to what is next
My vision has lead me here
Away from you, my vision is finally clear
These lyrics depict a sense of frustration and disappointment in a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is expressing their feelings towards someone who they believed would support them through thick and thin. However, instead of receiving encouragement and understanding, they are constantly told to change. The singer questions if their perspective is skewed or if there is a lack of clarity between them.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Visions, visions, visions, visions of yesterday," suggests that the singer is reflecting on the past and the dreams they had for the relationship. They feel unnoticed and unappreciated for the accomplishments they have achieved, while the other person remains focused on their own interests and the opinions of others. The singer realizes that they have wasted their time on someone who disregarded their friendship and now feels abandoned.
In the second half of the song, the singer starts to distance themselves from the negativity. They no longer want to be written off and feel that they are not good enough for the other person. They have reached a point of clarity where they decide to look forward and move on from the past, believing that their "vision" has led them to a better place away from the toxic relationship.
Overall, "Visions" explores the emotions of feeling undervalued, misunderstood, and ultimately taking a stand for oneself to pursue a healthier future.
