Visions
Mar-Vista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
It’s to erase us, the same plan used throughout the ages
The New World Order in different stages in different phases
Like Rick & Morty, it’s simulations in simulations
I'm a star wrapped in skin, my light comes from within
Every time I drop a gem they stop and drop me a zen
The love of wisdom, the death of ego, birth of enlightenment
The great alignment, it brings divine excitement
I’m on my 369, that’s vortex math
And I plead, I’ll never sell my soul for the greed
Yeah the devil “lived” backwards but yet he still breathes
They tried to bury me but didn’t know I was a seed
Back in the Earth with the dirt and the centipedes
A master of ceremonies, organic chemistry
Sometimes your worst enemy is your own memory (Mars!)
(Yeah!)
(Accent)
The son of an activist and advocate for socialists
Has become but a rapper and an inadequate soloist
A passionate vocalist with jack diddle to show for this
A batch of these poems that masses’ll never know exist (they'll never know)
She would drag my ass to protest things
I should’ve had the brass to go again as an older gent (I never did)
And as the laddie of that lonely miss
I could’ve had less sass when I spoke, I actually owed her it (I'm sorry)
And as a bastard and an only kid
I should’ve clashed with masculine chauvinists, bashed their scrotums in (deadbeats)
And as the grandson of a Soviet
I should’ve clashed with Fascist dystopians, smashed their podiums
Cuz as Accent I could’ve wrote some things
That would’ve had a lasting emotional link to hold and kiss
Alas, I am the master of my own remiss
The past is but a flash of old regrets, have to get over it
(Uh huh)
(Listen close)
(Kinetics in your headphones)
They only listen if there’s civil unrest
That’s what happens when they’re sitting on a citizen’s neck
This isn’t arrest, it’s diminishing innocent breath
Calling it police work, yo what did you expect?
How can you watch a man plead for his life for nine minutes
And three other guys with him are there and just fine with it?
Sometimes you gotta take a second just to stop and think
What has changed since Rodney King and acknowledge not a thing
At twelve noon we were fighting a virus
By nighttime there were sirens and white people inciting a riot
Aside from the violent outliers so reckless
Most of these people here are just peacefully protesting
But that’s not the material the media chooses
Or what we see in the news if it’s not increasing their viewers
Scream at the top of your lungs till you got a hoarse voice
And then make some more noise and do it for George Floyd
(Mars!)
My parents had me at a young age, forcing them to grow up
Their dreams on hold up, so mine can blow up
When it's your time to shine, son you better show up
What's your hold up? Suck it up, control yo gut
Inside every rich man’s a poor kid who followed his dreams
People on the block still doing the same things
Better make the choice to take a chance or life will never change
Palms moist, aiming for success, better have the range
Same shit, different toilet, try switching the diet
How’s there still racial injustice with protesting and riots?
When it comes to taking action, a lot of us quiet
And when the people need a voice, a lot of us silent
What's going on with the kids? What's going on with the schools?
What's going on with the food? What's going on in the news?
The whole world is confused
It's not who's to blame, it's what we need to do, you need to pick and choose
The lyrics of Mar-Vista's song "Visions" touch on a wide range of themes related to societal issues, personal growth, and self-reflection. The opening lines talk about the concept of being quarantined while also feeling a sense of division and conflict among different races. It questions the motives behind erasure and manipulation that have been perpetuated throughout history. The mention of the New World Order hints at a larger conspiracy or systemic control affecting different stages and phases of society. The comparison to the show "Rick & Morty" and the idea of simulations within simulations adds a layer of complexity to the discussion of reality and perception.
The following lines delve into individual empowerment and enlightenment. The persona describes themselves as a star wrapped in skin, emphasizing the inner light and wisdom they possess. The exchange of dropping gems and receiving zen symbolizes a mutual sharing of knowledge and spiritual growth. The lyrics touch on themes of self-discovery, ego death, and the quest for enlightenment through love and wisdom. The mention of alignment and divine excitement suggests a spiritual awakening or connection to a higher purpose.
The song then takes a critical stance on societal issues and political activism. The reference to controversial rapper 6ix9ine and the juxtaposition with numerical symbolism like 369 and vortex math adds a layer of depth to the critique of greed and moral compromise. The persona vows not to sell their soul and navigates through challenges symbolized by the devil and the metaphor of being a seed buried in the Earth. The lyrics also touch on themes of memory, personal growth, and the idea of confronting one's past to move forward.
The final verse addresses the current state of society, particularly focusing on civil unrest, police brutality, and racial injustice. The persona highlights the disparities in how protests are portrayed in the media and the need for genuine activism and solidarity. The mention of George Floyd's death and the call for continued protests symbolize a cry for justice and accountability. The song concludes with reflections on personal responsibility, societal change, and the need for individuals to take a stand and make choices that align with their values in the face of confusion and adversity.
