Visions
SoKo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Result of a broken home
A giant hole in a heart so cold
And visions that you seek
You grow too fast to weep
Hear the words of a silent child
A lonely soul and a worried mind
And visions of a man who screams
Quietly
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Countless nights of broken dreams
Friends that only you can see
Your visions are the truth
That they taught you
In books you never read
Shine a light on my sleepless nights
I hope I won't be the first to cry
And visions of a man who bleeds
Discover that the wound
Is too deep and never heals
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate
Forgive the ones you hate
The opening lines of "Forgive the ones you hate the most, result of a broken home, a giant hole in a heart so cold" sets the tone of Soko's "Visions". The lyrics speak to the idea that our upbringing and the environment we grew up in can greatly affect how we interact with others, often leading to resentment and a sense of emptiness or lack of love in our lives. The singer suggests that forgiveness is the key to healing these wounds and moving on from the pain. The second verse continues to explore this idea, highlighting the loneliness and isolation that can come from this brokenness and the importance of finding hope through one's own visions and dreams.
The chorus, "forgive the ones you hate the most", is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness and the role it plays in the healing process. The final verse speaks to the singer's own struggles with sleepless nights and emotional wounds, suggesting that even those who appear strong and put-together on the surface have their own demons to face.
Overall, "Visions" is a reflective and introspective song that encourages listeners to confront their own pain and look towards a more hopeful future through forgiveness, dreams, and personal truth.

Poisoned peanut butter
I think this is the deepest song of the entire album. Like she's been meditating about her dad through her entire life to finally forgive, and put her soul in this song to share it to the world. It's so private and personal that I feel I shouldn't be allowed to hear such a beautiful masterpiece.
