A demo was made at first, but as Fuller had an education to finish, as well as getting married, concrete results didn't appear until 2003, with the release of Visual Cliff's debut album "Lyrics For The Living", and it wasn't until one year later that Fuller could join the band in earnest, for the recording of the second album "Key To Eternity".
Both albums were pretty succesfull, and are currently on their second print run. For their third album Perez decided to contact vocalist Shane Lankford of Orphan Project, who made quite an impression on Perez, and asked if he's like to hook up with Visual Cliff for vocal duties there as well. He was positive, and in 2005 "Freedom Within" was issued, to great succes. The album is currently in it's third pressing, after selling out the first two.
In 2007 "Into The After" saw the light of day, and this time around Lankford's vocals were given more place than on their 2005 album.
Fool
Visual Cliff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We thought we could take on the world
We were always on a mission
We always thought we'd get the girl
I guess the sun had made us stupid
Cause I don't know how we thought we'd last
I guess this all was an illusion
That we were on the golden path
You lost your map along the way
You got too deep within the haze
When I think of what I thought you would be
This is not the you that I thought I would see
You really made a fool out of me out of me
Why did you have to go and leave
You left me here just waiting
My future plans are now half empty and your memory is fading
I took the exit out the maze
You lost your map along the way
You got too deep within the haze
When I think of what I thought you would be
This is not the you that I thought I would see
You really made a fool out of me out of me
When I think of what I thought you would be
This is not the you that I thought I would see
The lyrics of Visual Cliff's song "Fool" tell a story of disillusionment and disappointment in a relationship. The singer in the song reflects on a past time when they were filled with ambition and believed they could conquer the world. They were always on a mission and had hopes of winning over the affection of someone they considered special. However, the singer realizes that their grand dreams and expectations were misguided and built upon an illusion of a perfect path.
As the song unfolds, the singer acknowledges their own mistake in thinking they could escape the maze of life and love. They took the exit out of the confusing labyrinth, but their partner lost their way and became entrapped in a haze of uncertainty. The person they once had high hopes for has changed, and it's not the same person they initially fell for. This realization leaves the singer feeling foolish, betrayed, and longing for the person who left. They are stuck waiting for a future that now seems half-empty, while their memory of their partner slowly fades away.
In summary, "Fool" reflects on the disappointment and disillusionment that comes when idealized expectations are shattered in a relationship. It reminds us of the mistakes we make in thinking we can control or predict the course of love and life.

Why did you have to go and leave
I question why you chose to depart and abandon our relationship
You left me here just waiting
You left me in a state of anticipation and uncertainty

When I think of what I thought you would be
Reflecting on my initial expectations and perceptions of you
This is not the you that I thought I would see
You have not turned out to be the person I anticipated
