They Say Vision
Res Lyrics

I wanna try that pill that people take
I want to experience the feeling of blindly trusting in the things that people say, like they do when they take a pill that alters their perception.

Make you believe all the things that people say
The effects of the pill make you easily believe and accept whatever others say, without questioning or analyzing the validity of their statements.

Sick of shuckin' 'round with a screwed up face
Tired of pretending to agree with and please others when their words or actions conflict with your true beliefs or feelings.

With my heels dug in, trying to leave a trace
Holding onto your individuality and refusing to be completely swayed by others, even when trying to appear compliant or accepting.

Now come on, put me down somehow
Despite the desire to experience the effects of the pill, there is also a feeling of being lost or a loss of faith in oneself or others, and a desire to find stability and clarity.

How you lose your faith
Questioning how to rebuild trust or belief in something after experiencing disillusionment or disappointment.

Just take my hand and lead me where you wanna
Willingness to follow someone else's direction, despite doubts or uncertainties about the path or destination.

Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen
Advising not to trust one's own perceptions or observations, which may be biased or inaccurate, and to instead rely solely on what others say or do.

It's as they do only, say, what they say
People often just repeat what they have heard, without taking the time to form their own opinions or validate the information they are sharing.

'Cause, there's only one way, they say, vision
The idea that there is only one way to see or interpret things, which is what others tell you to see or believe.

It takes you back to just where you want
The pill's effects bring you back to a comfortable and familiar place, where you feel sure of your thoughts and beliefs, even if they are not your own.

Like when you ain't know no way
Similar to a time when you were young and naive, and didn't have the knowledge or experience to question or challenge what was presented to you.

Industry's down, think I've died and I've flown away, yeah
Feeling disconnected or lost due to a change in circumstances or environment, as if you have left the familiar world behind and don't recognize the new one.

So, so, long to them thieves
A farewell to the people who stole your trust or misled you, and a recognition that their actions were dishonest or harmful.

Who came and took all the things to say
Referring to those who control the narrative, such as the media or politicians, who dictate what information is shared and how it is presented to the public.

I play the joker sometimes
Acknowledging that sometimes you use humor or sarcasm as a coping mechanism to deal with the confusion or discomfort caused by others' words or actions.

But then those moments slide back my way
Realizing that even though distractions or diversions may provide temporary relief, ultimately the issues or concerns return and need to be addressed.

For real, I'd give my soul away, give it all away
Expressing the depth of desire to find answers or guidance, even if it means sacrificing a part of oneself or letting go of cherished beliefs or ideas.

I know where they all go find someplace
Awareness of the tendency for people to seek out the familiar and comfortable, even if it means ignoring or avoiding the truth or difficult situations.

Where they don't mind loafing about the waste
Choosing to stay in a place of complacency or apathy, rather than taking action to change or improve a situation.

They say, vision takes you back to where no conscience
The idea that the pill's effects allow you to turn off critical thinking or awareness of right and wrong, giving you a false sense of peace or certainty.

Free from how you really see
Escaping from truthful or uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, and instead accepting a biased or manipulated conception of reality.

And if you think that you know, take the back road
If you have the audacity to hold and voice your own opinions, prepare to take a difficult or unpopular path, as it goes against the norm of following only what others say.
