The Vision
Longshot Lyrics

My mind stays jaded,
I constantly feel disillusioned and disheartened by the world around me.

And oppressed by whats going on outside.
The events and issues in society leave me feeling suppressed and powerless.

Society runs itself,
The world seems to operate smoothly and autonomously without regard for individuals.

And we are left just standing here in line.
We are left to wait and hope for change, while feeling powerless to make a difference.

By myself I cant do shit,
Alone, I feel unable to make any significant impact or change.

But with you all I might just stand a chance.
With the collective power of like-minded people, there is hope for creating positive change.

TO BREAK THE MOLD!
To challenge the traditional and create new, positive ways of thinking and living.

For all those that have sweat and bled,
A tribute to those who have worked hard and sacrificed for their beliefs.

And tried to leave it all.
Those who have tried to escape or transcend the current state of the world.

I GIVE YOU THIS!
A declaration of giving all of oneself to the cause of creating change and challenging the status quo.

I GIVE YOU MY ALL!
Completely dedicating oneself to the cause and the fight for positive change.

For all that sweat and bled,
A tribute to those who have worked hard and sacrificed for their beliefs.

And tried to pull me under.
Individuals who have tried to bring others down or prevent change.

THE WORLD IS HOLDING ME DOWN!
A feeling of being trapped and suppressed by the world and its systems.

Tell yourself,
An assurance to oneself.

It ain't worth shit,
The world and its problems are not worth sacrificing oneself or one's beliefs for.

Only you are worth more.
One's own self-worth and the value of individuality and personal beliefs.

This world is shit so tell yourself,
Acknowledging the negative aspects of the world and its impact on individuals.

To live, to laugh, to learn.
Finding joy and meaning in life despite the struggles and challenges.

TO MAKE A MARK ON EARTH!
To leave a positive impact and legacy on the world.

MERCHANT I'VE PAID MY PRICE!
Having experienced the costs and consequences of the world's systems and expectations.

BUT I AM NOT DEFEATED!
Despite the struggles and challenges faced, there is still hope and resilience.

Cause I will stand my ground my chin up high,
A determination to persevere and maintain confidence in oneself and one's beliefs.

WITH MY HANDS TO THE SKY!
A symbolic gesture of reaching for something greater and striving for positive change.

Before it all comes down,
Acknowledging the potential for negative consequences or complete collapse of the world's systems.

Let us live our lives our way,
A desire for individuality and autonomy in living one's life.

Just let us go just let us have it!
A plea for the freedom to pursue personal beliefs and live a fulfilling life.

As one we fall..
When individuals conform to societal expectations and lose their individuality and personal beliefs, everyone suffers.

But together we can make it
Collective power and collaboration can lead to positive change.

THE CHILDREN OF OUR GENERATION! x2
The importance and potential for the younger generation to lead and create positive change.

I don't think I will ever see eye to eye
A feeling of disconnect and conflict with the world and those around us.

With the rest of this world.
Feeling alienated from the majority or society as a whole.

Because my consciousness resides up high in the clouds.
Feeling a sense of detachment and a preference for viewing the world from a different perspective, outside of reality on the ground.

SOARING SPEECHLESS,
Feeling awe and wonder at the world and its possibilities, but struggling to find the right words to express these thoughts and emotions.

Without a care or a doubt.
Feeling free and uninhibited in one's thoughts and feelings, without fear or concern for the opinions of others.

Why doubt yourself about things you know that could be true.
Encouragement to trust one's own beliefs and knowledge, without being swayed by doubt or external pressure.

It's up to you to reveal the truth.
Taking personal responsibility for seeking and communicating the truth and one's own beliefs.

That's hiding way over our heads.
Acknowledgement of the existence of greater truths and knowledge, beyond our current understanding.

And I won't be put to rest,
A determination to continue seeking the truth and personal beliefs, despite obstacles or opposition.

Without finding out what's best.
A desire to reach a deeper understanding and knowledge of the world and its issues, and to find solutions.

I WON'T BE PUT TO REST.
A declaration of determination and resilience in the pursuit of personal beliefs and Truth.

THIS IS MY CHALLENGE AND MY TEST.
Acknowledgement of the difficulties and challenges in discovering and communicating one's personal beliefs, and a determination to pursue it nevertheless.

I'll pass with flying colours.
A confidence in success and achievement in discovering personal truth and beliefs.

I won't doubt myself x3
Resolving to trust and believe in oneself and one's personal beliefs, without succumbing to doubt or uncertainty.

I'll take your word,
Willingness to consider and accept the truths or beliefs of others.

When it means something to my life.
Accepting the knowledge and beliefs of others only when they have personal relevance or significance.

I'll take your word when you stop speaking in your tongues.
An urge for clear and direct communication, without ambiguity or hidden meaning.

It's like we're waiting for something to fall in to place.
A feeling of waiting for resolution or clarity, as if waiting for pieces to fall into alignment.

WE'LL WAIT ALL DAY.
A declaration of patience and persistence in waiting for change or resolution.

The trees are swaying with the wind.
Observing the natural world and its movements, perhaps as a source of comfort or inspiration.

My mind starts drifting into it's own world,
Retreating into a place of personal thought and imagination, separate from external reality.

Stuck thinking this will never change.
Feeling trapped or pessimistic about the ability to create change or resolution in one's life or the world around us.

I'D RATHER FIND OUT MY OWN WAY.
Preferring personal discovery and exploration, as opposed to waiting for external forces or answers to emerge.

Then wait all my fucking life..
A declaration of restlessness and impatience, a reluctance to wait passively for change or resolution.

To find out what we're worth.
A desire to understand and establish personal self-worth and value, through personal discovery and exploration.

I remain fearless in this moment.
A declaration of strength and bravery, even in the midst of uncertainty and challenge.

To prove to you,
A motivation to demonstrate and communicate one's personal mission and beliefs to others.

That we don't stand a chance (That we don't stand a chance).
Acknowledging the challenging and difficult nature of striving for personal beliefs and change in the face of opposing forces or societal pressure.

UNLESS WE MAKE THIS LIFE OURS. x2
Emphasizing the importance of individuality and personal mission in creating one's own meaning and purpose in life.

We're running in circles yet again,
Feeling caught up in the same patterns and struggles again and again, without making progress.

But I can't seem to catch my breath.
Feeling overwhelmed and out of breath from the constant struggles of everyday life.

It takes my breath away,
Experiencing awe, beauty, or greatness in the world, in a positive sense.

Like rain drops to the sea.
A metaphorical comparison of the insignificance of individuals in the larger world or system.

We're just like rain drops to the sea,
Emphasizing the relative insignificance of individuals in the greater world and systems.

Or a falling leaf from a tree.
Another metaphorical comparison to emphasize the fleeting and temporary nature of individual existence in the world.

More insignificant than it seems,
Acknowledging the smallness and relative lack of importance of individual existence in the larger world and systems.

To a plan that we won't ever see.
Acknowledging the lack of understanding or control over the larger world or system in which we exist.

Well that's just what's on my mind.
Emphasizing the personal and subjective nature of perspective, and that these thoughts and opinions are just one perspective within the larger world and system.
