My Inner Vision
Valley's Eve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you hear the inner wail out of my soul?
I call for you!
Because I can't go on any longer
My body is dead and I can't feel my own emotions Come and show me the way
The way I have never known
Come and show me the way
That you have chosen for me Every morning in front of my mirror
I'm furious, evil, disgusted by my own
But when?
Please tell me when you will feel my pain
When my sufferings are over Come and give me a little rest
That I can sleep in silence
And let me drink water out of your hands
To refresh my burning soul Come and show me the way
The way I have never known
Come and show me the way
That you have chosen for me My praying became silent
My faith has vanished
But my hope is still there
Like a flicking light in the dark Now come to me and bring me out of here
To get rid of my inner visions
Come to me, rescue me from
My shackling depressions
Which are always chilling me
The lyrics of "My Inner Vision" by Valley's Eve depict a plea for help from a person who is struggling with their own emotions and identity. The singer reaches out to an unidentified entity or person to show them the way to a new path, one that the singer has never known before. They are in immense pain and feel dead inside, begging for respite from their suffering. The desperation in the singer's voice is palpable, as they ask for an escape from their crippling depression and hopelessness. The use of religious language, such as "praying" and "faith," suggests that the singer may have previously turned to religion for comfort but has lost their connection to it. However, the singer still holds onto hope, described as a "flicking light in the dark," and trusts that the entity they're calling out to can help bring them out of their inner turmoil.
The song's lyrics touch upon some common themes of mental health struggles, such as the inability to connect with one's own emotions, a lack of self-identity, and feelings of hopelessness and despair. The idea of seeking help from an external source is also typical of those who are seeking support for their mental health. The song's title, "My Inner Vision," is a powerful linkage to the theme - as if the author is seeking inspiration that they cannot uncover with any of their senses.
