Longing to roam
I have to find you
I have to meet you
Sanctum your face
Slowing your pace
I need your guidance

My pupils dance
Lost in a trance
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence
Stars in their place
Mirror your face
I need to find you
I need to seek my

It's never too late to reinvent the bicycle
Small breaks for the new

The lyrics of "Innervision" by System Of A Down (soad) are quite open to interpretation. One could see the song as being about a person who is searching for someone they love or are drawn to. The singer is describing their need to find this person and how their guidance can help them. They talk about their inner vision, which is what they see when they look inward. The singer is truly lost without the person they seek.
The song also explores the power of silence and contemplation in finding oneself. The singer talks about how the silence they seek is sacred and how it takes away all violence. Violence here might not just be physical but also mental, as the silence helps to quiet the mind and create a peaceful inner space. In this mental space, the singer can find the person they've been searching for.
Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of finding oneself and how this can be done through finding love or sacred silence. The song may be interpreted differently by different listeners, but the themes of inner exploration and finding guidance within oneself seem to be universal.
