THE VISION
Joker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Calm down
Keep confusing me, cant you see, cant you see, you are not alone
You the throne
Kryptic clues, who needs you, the one to chose, who is who
Whats wrong
If I wanna talk big, act big, I can play big on my own
Let go
So complicated in the game you created, can you crack the code

Can't be without you, see without you, breathe without you, feel without you
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe

Gotta breathe in
Gotta breathe in
Gotta breathe in
Gotta breathe in


Slow down
When your on the floor begggin wont work
You'll be back for more
Pipe down
Be insane, leave for day, when's it gonna rain
Rain on your parade
Dont go, go, go
You know
The road is long on your own
Do you want to be alone
You dont wanna be alone
Cool it down, calm down, breeze out, let go

Just let me breathe
Cool down, calm down, would you let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Head down, calm down, would you let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Breeze out, pipe down, would you let me

Gotta breathe in
Gotta breathe in




Gotta breathe in
Gotta breathe in

Overall Meaning

In Joker's song The Vision, he addresses a person who seems to have control over him, but he is struggling to keep up with the person's demands. The person is causing confusion, but they are not alone in their actions. They hold a certain power over Joker, as if they are on a throne. Joker is feeling trapped and overwhelmed by the kryptic clues and the game that this person created. He urges the person to allow him some space to breathe and not to suffocate him. Despite his plea, he cannot resist the urge to be with this person as he declares, "Can't be without you, see without you, breathe without you, feel without you."


The chorus is a plea for freedom - to breathe and to release the pressure of control. The song invokes an emotional struggle of not being able to recognize oneself within the other person's expectations. The tone of the song is somber, accentuated by the rhetorical question, "Do you want to be alone?" implying a sense of loneliness even when in a relationship. The song is a profound expression of the struggles that come with being in an emotionally draining and one-sided relationship.
