3rd Eye Vision
Mishka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoohoohoo yeah

I heard you saying it won't' make a difference
It's only you and it's just this once yeah
It's only this time

Don't you think that it all adds up
There's a reaction for each action many drips fill the cup
Where do you draw the line

Know thyself and to thine own self be true
Any other way is gonna make you feel blue yeah
Ya gotta reason to be here

Hey maybe if we focus and we get it together
We could raise the human consciousness and make things better yeah
I know you think I'm a dreamer

But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin' why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind
I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space

Get so exhausted from all the exhaust
From living in fear , from living in a box hey
How come we always have to drive
I keep wishing corporations, and the politicians
Would make tighter restrictions on our fossil fuel emissions and meanwhile
Why don't we walk
If we all did a little then a lot would be done
We could clean up the mess and try to have some fun yeah
I'm off to plant a tree now
Cause if everybody takes and nobody gives
There'll soon be no air to breathe and no where to live
But you can't stop mother nature

But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind
I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space

Did you remember to give thanks for the food
The earth air the water and everything good
The fire's still burnin'
Talk to yourself cause no one knows you better
Even take the time to write yourself a letter
To know the wheels are still turnin'
There's no better time than now to stand up straight
Take a deep breath Lord it's never too late to
Exhale your confusion
They say its all been done and there's no sense trying
But they don't really know you and they're probably lying
You got to see for yourself yeah

But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind




I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space

Overall Meaning

The song "3rd Eye Vision" by Mishka is all about awakening to the interconnectedness of all things and taking responsibility for one's actions. The lyrics begin by addressing the idea that one person's actions may seem small, but they all add up in the end. The chorus features the phrase "know thyself and to thine own self be true," which embodies the idea of self-awareness and authenticity. The verses also touch on environmentalism, encouraging individuals to take small actions such as walking instead of driving and planting trees, as these will collectively make a big difference in preserving the planet.


The song also references the concept of the "third eye," which is associated with intuition, spiritual awareness, and higher consciousness. The lyrics suggest that many people are feeling lost or unsure of their place in the world, and that this may be due to a lack of spiritual understanding or connection. By opening one's third eye and seeking inner peace, the singer believes that individuals can find their place somewhere "out in time and somewhere out in space."


Overall, "3rd Eye Vision" is a call to action and a reminder of the power of small actions to effect large change. It encourages listeners to take responsibility for their actions, seek self-awareness and spiritual understanding, and work together to create a better world for all.
