Perfect Vision
Icky Blossoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating away, into the day
Inside and out, clock working rushed
Out from the streets, head to the feet
We did it right there, We didn't care
Just drove around, just did the time??????
The lyrics to "Perfect Vision" by Icky Blossoms describe a sense of escaping reality and being lost in a dreamlike state. The opening lines "I opened my eyes, silver land / Floating away, into the day" suggest a surreal setting where the singer is disconnected from the real world. The reference to "clock working rushed" and "head to the feet" suggests that the singer's thoughts are scattered and they feel overwhelmed.
The second stanza, "We did it right there, We didn't care / Just drove around, just did the time" implies a sense of rebellion and a desire to break free from societal norms. The singer experiences a sense of freedom and a lack of responsibility. The line "Nothing to do, but get high in the afternoon" reinforces this idea of escape and detachment from reality.
Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of disconnection and a need to escape. The silver land and dreamlike state represent a desire to leave one's problems and responsibilities behind.
