Perdido
Vis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just greyish meat, that is all
But still so much will try to break in and take it
Now I'm lost and alone
Friends will never tell me I'm a sucker 'cause
Instead I'm more valuable unknowing and to
Them, I'm just another tool reacting to the ways
If I could ever change
Anything that's been done
I'd take the grey meat far away from everything
I'm still lost and alone
Friends will never tell me I'm a sucker 'cause
Instead I'm more valuable unknowing and to
Them, I'm just another tool reacting to the ways
I've been told
Stay on the fringe, don't let sanity destroy you
Stay far away from society, destroy you
If I could listen, then I would know
But for this wisdom nothing ever would change for now
Somethings gonna come my way
As long as we all do what we say
But nothings ever gonna change
The lyrics of Vis's song "Perdido" explore themes of isolation, vulnerability, and the power dynamics within relationships. The first stanza contemplates the fragility of the brain as a physical organ, yet acknowledges the vast amount of external forces that attempt to invade and manipulate it. The singer finds themselves lost and alone, longing for a way to escape these pressures.
The second stanza speaks of the singer's friends, who use their ignorance and naivety as a tool to exploit them. The phrase "valuable unknowing" suggests that the singer's friends appreciate their unawareness, as it makes them easier to manipulate. The singer wishes they could change the past and remove themselves from these harmful power dynamics.
The final stanza offers a solution to the singer's predicament: staying on the fringe and avoiding society. However, the singer admits that they lack the wisdom to do so effectively. The repetition of "nothing ever would change for now" emphasizes the feelings of helplessness and resignation that pervade the song.
Overall, "Perdido" paints a bleak picture of interpersonal relationships and the difficulties of navigating them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been victimized by others and feels powerless to change their situation.
