Furious Monkey House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I had a guide
Many faces in motion
And I just can't see mine
Staring at the floor
Trying to figure out
If everything I claim
Is nothing but a fraud
Hold on till we land
Gotta keep my feet on the ground
Gotta settle down, gotta rest for a while
Forcing myself to think it twice
Need a break from this sick feeling
Maybe I deserve some more
Or maybe it's just the life I got
Sometimes I think that I could turn into dust so easily
Ashes all around me
Sometimes I think that I could turn into dust so easily
Ashes all around me
Bury them so deep inside
Fantasies and blurry aims are lost
I wish that I could turn into dust
Ashes all around me
I came with no direction
Wish I had a guide
Many faces in motion
And I just can't see mine
Craving for some more
And trying to figure out
If everything has changed
Or if it's just my new vision
Vision, vision I do it for the vision, yeah
The vision, I do it for the vision
Crossed out, I'm the face of another
I had a deal with the devil, but he walked away
Cursing my name wish that I could be in another space
It's not the same I don't remember how it ended
I´ll bury them so deep inside
Fantasies and blurry aims are lost
I think that I could turn into dust
Ashes all around me
I´ll bury them so deep inside
I´ll bury them so deep inside
The song "Visions" by Furious Monkey House explores themes of self-doubt, confusion, and the desire for guidance. The opening lines convey a sense of aimlessness and a yearning for someone or something to provide direction. The singer feels lost amid the constant movement of faces around them, unable to find their own identity.

The singer finds themselves constantly doubting their own claims and wondering if they are merely pretending or being dishonest. This self-doubt intensifies as they stare at the floor, trying to make sense of their own thoughts and actions.
Throughout the song, the recurring image of turning into dust symbolizes the singer's fear of disappearing or losing themselves. They feel fragile and easily breakable, surrounded by the metaphorical ashes of their uncertainties and blurred aspirations. The desire to bury these doubts deep inside suggests a need to escape from these burdensome thoughts and fantasies.
The chorus highlights the craving for something more and the longing for clarity. The singer questions whether their perception of everything has truly changed or if it is just their new vision, suggesting a shift in perspective and understanding of their situation. Ultimately, they strive for a renewed vision, one that will guide them and provide a sense of purpose.
Overall, "Visions" explores the complexities of self-identity, the struggle with self-doubt, and the longing for clarity and guidance in a world that seems constantly in motion.
