Vision
Prophecy Of P.A.N.I.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Easterly winds whisking the kids
There are new-borns all around
Lampposts guide them but the lights just died there
And they slow to a crawl

Misting aside their eyes open wide
At the sight of golden youth
Fathers and mothers gather in numbers
When the sales greeter do

Dreamt of the leaves, stitched up the seams
And they all counted down
Each one mutter pair with another
And the young ones go round

Fading dreams and rich tangerine
The sky began to fall
Figures stack up whether they close up
They make the final call

With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
Rise up as one counting down to one
With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
Rise up as one counting down to one





With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
Rise up as one counting down to one

Line by Line Meaning

Easterly winds whisking the kids
The children are carried by the winds blowing in from the east


There are new-borns all around
Many babies have just been born


Lampposts guide them but the lights just died there
The streetlights are no longer working, but the lampposts still serve as a guide


And they slow to a crawl
The children and their parents slow down their pace


Misting aside their eyes open wide
They wipe the mist from their eyes and see clearly


At the sight of golden youth
They see the young, hopeful generation ahead of them


Fathers and mothers gather in numbers
The parents gather in large groups


When the sales greeter do
They are attracted by the salespeople


Dreamt of the leaves, stitched up the seams
They have a vision of something better, but they need to work to make it happen


And they all counted down
They all start counting down together


Each one mutter pair with another
They whisper together in pairs


And the young ones go round
The children play and go around in circles


Fading dreams and rich tangerine
Their hopes and dreams are fading, and the sky turns orange


The sky began to fall
Something catastrophic is happening


Figures stack up whether they close up
People are grouping together


They make the final call
They are making a decision that will determine their fate


With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
They are motivated by the sunshine and their dreams


Rise up as one counting down to one
They unite and count down to a new beginning


With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
They are driven by their dreams and the warmth of the sun


Rise up as one counting down to one
They come together as one and count down to a fresh start
