The Vision
Gypsy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaving tearful loved ones behind.
They went off in answer to a vision.
Which the wise men planted in their minds.
That all men have been created equal
Meant to share all that life has to give.
And the right to do as he pleases.
To be free as long as he lives.
They had lived an empty dream
And in death they would be freed.
So they died for what they believed in
Leaving unfulfilled dreams behind
And those deaths have often been repeated
For the vision will endure all time.
In Gypsy's song "The Vision," the lyrics describe a scene where warriors have been convinced to go to battle by a vision planted in their minds by wise men. They are leaving their loved ones behind, yet they go off in the belief that all humans are created equal and that everyone deserves to share in what life has to offer. It is their right to be free and do as they please, and they die for what they believe in, leaving behind the unfulfilled dreams of their lives.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as an important message about the value of freedom and equality. The theme of the song emphasizes the importance of standing up for our beliefs and fighting for what we think is right. The song also highlights the harsh reality of warfare where death seems like the only way to achieve one's goals. It's interesting to note that the song suggests that ideas, such as those planted by wise men, have a great impact on human behavior and decision making.
