Visions
Laconic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking on the path i thought i wanted to be on
Traveling towards the light trying to find
The way the life whatever it can bring me
But im lost im lost

Creeping up on you
I've arrived but where am i going
Step by step in your tracks

I will follow you down

Do you see what i see
Do you know what i know
Can you feel me now
So far below

Im not im not afraid

Of what i don't know
Creeping up on you ill meet you there

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of Laconic's "Visions" describes the classic experience of searching for a path in life. The singer is walking on a path they thought they wanted to be on, believing that it would lead them towards the light and give them a sense of direction. However, the reality is that they are lost and unsure of where they are headed. This verse is a powerful metaphor for the experience of feeling like you're on the right track, only to realize that you don't know where you're going.

The song takes a turn in the second verse, as the singer describes following someone else's lead. They are creeping up on this person, trying to figure out where they're going and what they see. The sense of confusion and uncertainty remains, as the singer asks if the other person can feel them now, even though they are so far below. Ultimately, the chorus reaffirms that they're not afraid of what they don't know and that they're willing to follow this mysterious person to see where they end up.

Walking on the path i thought i wanted to be on
I chose a direction in life that I believed was right for me

Traveling towards the light trying to find
I seek happiness and fulfillment, hoping to reach them someday

The way the life whatever it can bring me
I'm open to whatever life has in store for me

But im lost im lost
I feel lost and uncertain about my journey

Creeping up on you
I'm trying to approach you quietly and slowly

I've arrived but where am i going
I'm here, but I'm unsure of where I'm headed

Step by step in your tracks
I'm following your footsteps, hoping to find direction

I will follow you down
I'll go wherever you lead me, even if it's into darkness

Do you see what I see
Are you perceiving the same things I am?

Do you know what I know
Do you possess the same knowledge that I do?

Can you feel me now
Are you able to empathize with me at this moment?
