Visions
Hotel Books Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's clouds and sunshine
Drawn out on a piece of printer paper
And we're gonna thank her
Cause this picture is worthy of the front of the refrigerator
A picture of a house
With a door, a window and a chimney
With five stick figures
Labeled: mommy, daddy, brother, sister and me
And it's so adorable
Cause
The artist is only six
And she spent her whole recess working on it
And to us, no, it's not perfect
But it's worth it
Cause to the artist
It's a work of art
And little girl
You're getting older now
And you look in the mirror
And you don't like that image
So you cover in cosmetics
And skip meal after meal to loose the shape
That your artist intended
But I'm here to tell you
You're made in God's image
And if that's not enough for you
Then what is?
Don't change the shape that the artist intended
To cater to the mindset
Of some useless pigs
Cause in the eyes of the one who made you
Babygirl you're perfect
You're perfect
You're
You're perfect
Don't change
The shape




Cause in the eyes of the one who matters
You're so perfect

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hotel Books's song Visions are focused on the idea of a child's artwork and how it is cherished for its innocence and inherent beauty, despite not being perfect. The first stanza sets the scene of a picture of a house drawn by a six-year-old, complete with family stick figures labeled with their names. This work of art is celebrated by the family, with the lyrics stating that it is "worthy of the front of the refrigerator." The child's innocence is represented by her using her entire recess to work on the picture.


The second stanza then shifts focus to the insecurities that come with growing up. The little girl in the picture is now "getting older" and is self-conscious about her appearance. She has started to cover herself in makeup and tries to change her body shape, which is the complete opposite of what the artist originally intended. The lyrics urge the girl not to succumb to societal pressures and instead embrace her uniqueness. The song ends on a positive note, with the artist stating that the little girl is perfect just the way she is since she was made in God's image.


Overall, the lyrics are a poignant reminder that everyone is unique and perfect in their way. We should embrace our differences rather than conforming to societal standards that promote a specific "ideal" body image. The lyrics also highlight the innocence and beauty of childhood artwork and how it should be celebrated for its inherent value rather than its perfection. The song serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself and love oneself in all shapes and sizes.
