Vistas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of these thoughts will not quite fill the pages
So I find shelter in the year that′s coming
Help to remember while my bones are numb, and
Everything is bound to change
Tell me what you know and I'll give you medicine
But where you end up is not where you begin
And cut through the moments of quiet disarray
It can′t be wrong to keep holding on
'Cos I and you will hold out for life
'Cos I and you will hold out for life
Take in a daydream and colour it in
The grey that you feel will soon be blue again
With all of the time you spend that makes you wish
For everything that helps you reminisce
Of alcohol and sunny days
I tell you what I know, help me rearrange it
All of my thoughts will still not fill the pages
So I find shelter in what makes this real
The fire we crave and the gasoline we feel
It′s all okay, anyway
′Cos I and you will hold out for life
'Cos I and you will hold out for life
Don′t go searching around, I'll be lost
Don′t go searching around, I'll be lost
Don′t go searching around, I'll be lost
Don't go searching around, I′ll be lost
′Cos I and you will hold out for life
'Cos I and you will hold out for life
′Cos I and you will hold out for life
'Cos I and you will hold out for life
In Vistas's song "Medicine", the lyrics capture the struggles of trying to continue moving forward in life, despite feeling numb or lost. The opening lines "Tell you what I know, help me rearrange it / All of these thoughts will not quite fill the pages" suggest an overwhelming amount of thoughts or ideas that need to be organized and processed. The singer then seeks comfort in the future, hoping to find shelter in "the year that's coming," possibly indicating hope for better days to come. The repetition of "It's all okay, anyway" throughout the song serves as a reminder to stay positive and keep pushing through tough times.
The title of the song, "Medicine," could be interpreted as a metaphor for a source of comfort or relief from pain. The singer promises to give medicine to someone else if they share what they know, indicating a mutual understanding and support system. However, the line "But where you end up is not where you begin" suggests that this journey may not be easy or straightforward.
The bridge of the song encourages the listener to hold on and keep pushing forward, despite feeling lost or uncertain. The repetition of "′Cos I and you will hold out for life" serves as a mantra for perseverance and hope.
Overall, "Medicine" is a powerful and relatable song about navigating difficult times and finding comfort in the present and future.

Lyrics here too:
Tell you what I know help me rearrange it,
All of these thoughts will not quite fill the pages.
So I find shelter in the year that’s coming,
Help to remember while my bones are numbing.
Everything, is bound to change.
Tell me what you know and I’ll give you medicine,
Cause where you end up is not where you begin.
I hope you can hold out till you love today,
And cut through the moments of quiet disarray.
It cant be wrong, to keep holding on.
Cos I,
And you.
Will hold,
Out for life.
Take in a daydream and colour it in,
The great that you feel will soon be blue again.
With all of the time you spend that makes you wish,
For everything that helps you reminisce.
Of alcohol, and sunny days.
I tell you what I know help me rearrange it,
All of my thoughts will still not fill the pages.
So I find shelter in what makes this real,
The fire we crave and the gasoline we feel.
It’s all okay, anyway.
Cos I,
And you.
Will hold,
Out for life.
Don’t go searching around I’ll be lost.
Cos I,
And you.
Will hold,
Out for life.
