Visions
LOVING Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So clear in my head
It's a strange kind of prison
It is and it isn't
It's the life that I'm bound to live
Without ever knowing why
It's the beauty of the morning
It's the day that I found your note
As I walked along the shore
I read the lines you wrote
Left hidden in my coat
It's the truth
It's the truth
And it's a lie
She loved to be alone, alone
To feel the shape of her self a home
That could not be known
Like a stranger on the street
Whose eyes you fail to meet
He loved to be alone, alone
To feel the limits of his hours blown
Scattered and thrown
Like on a windy day
All meaning cast away
It's the truth
It's the truth
And it's a lie
The song "Visions" by LOVING is a reflective and introspective ballad that explores the complex nature of the human experience. The song opens with the lines "I've got a vision, so clear in my head. It's a strange kind of prison, it is and it isn't." This opening sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it speaks to the idea that life can be both beautiful and confining, depending on one's perspective.
The verse "It's the life that I'm bound to live, without ever knowing why" touches on the struggle many people face as they attempt to make meaning out of their existence. This search for meaning is further explored through the lines "It's the beauty of the morning, it's the soft line of your thigh. It's the day that I found your note as I walked along the shore" which speak to the small moments of joy that can make life worth living.
The second verse introduces two characters who "love to be alone" in spite of the fact that this solitary existence comes with its own set of difficulties. The final line "It's the truth, it's the truth, and it's a lie" suggests that the complexities of life can be difficult to understand and that the truth is often more nuanced than we initially believe.
Overall, the song provides a nuanced exploration of the human experience, acknowledging the difficulty and beauty of life in equal measure. It encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and to find meaning in the small moments.

@pepsiman9688
This song feels like walking in a park alone and looking at children play and people having conversations. Feeling distant from it all. It’s such a beautiful feeling.
