Visions
The Anger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ghosts and facts, I'm afraid
Searching my mind for all
All long eternity
When I was just a child
And I believed in magic
The good and the bad times
Was just living alone
Live without it wasn't
I cry, I run
I die and live again
A perfect stranger
A perfect life
You judge me right now
I'm still crying
I'm still dying
Just don't wanna look back
Just livin' alone
Yes, I'm just a child
Livin' alone
For a long time now
Livin' alone
Everyone thinks I'm insane
‘Cause I’m livin' alone
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Candles in the window
And I pray for freedom
While the rainy night
Won’t let me sleep, oh no!
When dreadful visions come
From inside my mind
And the bad dreams
Don't let me rest in peace
Oh yeah!
I'm waiting for you
I'm praying for you
I'm crying for you
I'm dying for you
For all eternity
A perfect stranger
A perfect life
You judge me right now
I'm still crying
I'm still dying
Just don't wanna look back
Just livin' alone
Yes, I'm just a child
Livin' alone
For a long time now
Livin' alone
Everyone thinks I'm insane
‘Cause I’m livin' alone
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Just livin' alone
(Living alone)
Yes, I'm just a child
Livin' alone
(Living alone)
For a long time now
Livin' alone
(Living alone)
Everyone thinks I'm insane
‘Cause I’m livin' alone
(Living alone)
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Yeah!
"Visions" by The Anger explores the theme of isolation and feeling misunderstood. The lyrics depict a sense of loneliness and alienation experienced by the singer. The opening lines, "It's midnight again, Ghosts and facts, I'm afraid," suggest a feeling of anxiety and fear as the singer contemplates their thoughts and experiences.
The lyrics mention a belief in magic during childhood, highlighting the innocence and naivety of the singer's past. The reference to "good and bad times" implies that the struggles of life have always been present, even when they were just a child. This suggests a sense of disillusionment with the world.
The repetition of phrases like "I cry, I run, I die and live again" and "I'm still crying, I'm still dying" captures an ongoing struggle and emotional turmoil within the singer. They feel like a "perfect stranger" in their own life, perhaps emphasizing a sense of disconnection from others or even themselves.
The chorus, "Livin' alone, Yes, I'm just a child, Livin' alone" reinforces the themes of isolation and being misunderstood. The repetition further emphasizes the sense of loneliness endured for a long time. The line "Everyone thinks I'm insane" suggests that the singer's unconventional way of living may lead others to perceive them as crazy or unstable.
The second verse introduces the motif of "dreadful visions" and "bad dreams" that disturb the singer's peace of mind. This could be interpreted as metaphorical, representing the inner demons and struggles they face internally. The mention of candles in the window and praying for freedom, juxtaposed with the dreary rainy night, denotes a longing for escape from their troubled thoughts.
In conclusion, "Visions" delves into the emotional journey of a lonely and misunderstood protagonist. The lyrics capture feelings of isolation, anxiety, and longing for connection. Through the portrayal of internal struggles and relentless searching, the song highlights the universal desire for understanding and acceptance in a world that often misunderstands or dismisses individual experiences.

It's midnight again
Once again, it is the darkest hour of the night
Ghosts and facts, I'm afraid
Haunted by both supernatural beings and undeniable truths, I feel fearful
Searching my mind for all
Delving deep into my thoughts, exploring every corner of my consciousness
All long eternity
Throughout the vast expanse of time
When I was just a child
In my youthful innocence and naivety
And I believed in magic
I held steadfast faith in the enchantment of the supernatural
The good and the bad times
Both the moments of joy and the periods of hardship
Was just living alone
I existed in solitude, without companionship
Losing my mind was easy
It was effortless for me to succumb to madness
Live without it wasn't
However, living without my sanity was a tremendous challenge
I cry, I run
I shed tears, I flee from my troubles
I die and live again
I experience the agony of death and the subsequent revival
A perfect stranger
An individual completely unknown to me
A perfect life
An existence without flaws or imperfections
You judge me right now
At this very moment, you pass judgment upon me
I'm still crying
I continue to weep
I'm still dying
I am still experiencing death
Just don't wanna look back
I simply refuse to reminisce
Just livin' alone
Merely existing in solitude
Yes, I'm just a child
Indeed, I am only a young and vulnerable individual
For a long time now
For an extended duration
Everyone thinks I'm insane
All people believe I have lost my sanity
‘Cause I’m livin' alone
Because I am residing in seclusion
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Hey, do you perceive me as mentally unstable?
Candles in the window
I place illuminated candles on the windowsill
And I pray for freedom
I fervently beseech for liberation
While the rainy night
During this damp and wet evening
Won’t let me sleep, oh no!
Prevents me from finding rest, oh no!
When dreadful visions come
When horrific images materialize
From inside my mind
Emerging from the depths of my own thoughts
And the bad dreams
Additionally, the unpleasant nightmares
Don't let me rest in peace
Deprive me of finding tranquility and serenity
I'm waiting for you
I am patiently anticipating your arrival
I'm praying for you
I am offering prayers on your behalf
I'm crying for you
I shed tears due to your presence
I'm dying for you
I am experiencing death because of my love for you
For all eternity
Throughout the infinite span of time
Just livin' alone
Merely existing in solitude
Yes, I'm just a child
Indeed, I am only a young and vulnerable individual
For a long time now
For an extended duration
Everyone thinks I'm insane
All people believe I have lost my sanity
‘Cause I’m livin' alone
Because I am residing in seclusion
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Hey, do you perceive me as mentally unstable?
Just livin' alone
Merely existing in solitude
Yes, I'm just a child
Indeed, I am only a young and vulnerable individual
For a long time now
For an extended duration
Everyone thinks I'm insane
All people believe I have lost my sanity
‘Cause I’m livin' alone
Because I am residing in seclusion
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Hey, do you perceive me as mentally unstable?
Yeah!
