Vision
Iota Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey why don't
We take a while
In lethargy
Wet with style
So you can see
The inner mile
And we'll wake
Before the vision

Is gone and while
We sleep I'll cradle
You make no mistake
I'll fit this shoe
Play like a child
On his maiden veiw
And we'll smile
Untill the vision
Is gone i want to
Be remembered
Not some drop
On the ocean
Like a creature
Dismembered by
A careless wheel
Inhale what
I feel and breath
Some life into me
Blessed entity
This creature created
By you just for me
Breeze dance over me
In the cooling night
Drink to this memory
For my thirsty sight
And when we die
May the vision live on

Say goodnight to
The vision so long

Overall Meaning

Iota's song "Vision" is a poetic masterpiece that speaks of the ephemeral quality of life, dreams, and memories. The lyrics begin with an invitation to take some time to bask in the beauty of the moment, to luxuriate in the feelings it evokes, and to soak in the atmosphere. The word "lethargy" here might be interpreted as a desire to slow down and revel in the present, to savor every second before it slips away. The phrase "wet with style" might refer to the sensual nature of the experience, and the idea that it's powerful and expressive.

The following lines, "so you can see the inner mile," suggest that this experience is one that goes deep. The singer wants the listener to witness their innermost self, to see the things that make them unique and special. They want to share this moment with someone they care about and connect with them at a deep level. The chorus speaks of a vision that both the singer and the listener want to preserve. It's a precious memory they don't want to forget, that they want to hold on to even when they're gone. The singer cradles their companion, plays with them like a child, and smiles until the vision disappears.

One interpretation of the lyrics is that they reflect the human desire to capture the beauty of life before it passes us by. We want to hold on to memories and feelings, to preserve them for ourselves and for those we love. The idea of a "vision" that lives on after we're gone is a reassuring one, a reminder that we can leave behind something meaningful even if we can't stay forever.

Line by Line Meaning

Hey why don't
Invitation to spend some time together

We take a while
Go slow, take our time

In lethargy
Relax and be lazy

Wet with style
Let's make it interesting and fun

So you can see
To let the other person get to know me

The inner mile
Who I am deep inside

And we'll wake
Realize what's happening

Before the vision
Before this moment is over

Is gone and while
While we still have it

We sleep I'll cradle
I'll be here for you, even when we sleep

You make no mistake
Don't doubt my feelings for you
