Visions
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The skin on my bones is leather cold
Poisoned my heart beats slow
Fear of crashing and not coming back
I'm a curse to my friends, to be condemned
Mistakes I made and won't mend
Fear of crashing and not coming back

I dream of death, its violent breath
I'm caught with my maker in step
Fear of crashing and not coming back
I could bleach clean my soul but he knows I know I'm coming to dine in his hole
Fear of crashing and not coming back

Visions of a life
Where I was satisfied
Feed my hungry mind
Where are you when I close my eyes?

I left this world behind
For the world I'd built inside
Feed my hungry mind
Where are you when I close my eyes?

Why do I feel so strange?
A nuclear family and friends my own age
I follow the rules, do what it says on the tin
But I'm still on the outside still looking in

Why was I born with itchy feet?
And why do I hate all the people I meet?
People's ideals give me the chills to the bone
I got one thousandmillion friends and I feel so alone

Stay as you are
Everybody likes you
Everybody cares
There's some insight for you
I'll get my coat
I'll be the bitch
I heard that journeys end in lovers meeting
But my journey ends when my heart stops beating
I'm leaving

Stay as you are
Everybody loves you
Everybody cares
There's some insight for you
I'll get my coat
I'll be the bitch
I heard that journeys end in lovers meeting
But my journey ends when my heart stops beating
I'm leaving

Human heart in my hand
Heart in my, human heart in my hand
Taking it back, eyes straight ahead
Cut it in half, better than dead
Human heart in my hand
Heart in my, human heart in my hand
Taking it back, eyes straight ahead
Cut it in half, better than dead
Human heart in my hand
Heart in my, human heart in my hand




Taking it back, eyes straight ahead
Cut it in half, better than dead

Overall Meaning

In "Visions Of A Life," Wolf Alice explores themes of fear, isolation, and the quest for fulfillment. The opening lines describe the singer's physical and emotional numbness, as if she is calloused to the world around her. She fears the consequences of her actions, despite being unable to correct them. The violent imagery of death and destruction, coupled with feelings of hopelessness, suggest a sense of inevitability and despair.


The chorus expresses longing and yearning, as the singer dreams of a better life - one where she feels satisfied and fulfilled. However, this dream seems to be always out of reach, and she is left wondering why she feels disconnected from those around her. The bridge emphasizes the singer's alienation from society, highlighting her struggles with societal norms and her inability to connect with others. She feels like an outsider despite having many friends.


The final section of the song takes a dramatic turn, as the singer seemingly decides to take control of her situation. The imagery of holding a human heart metaphorically represents taking ownership of her life and emotions. The repeated chorus of "taking it back" suggests a newfound sense of agency and empowerment.


Overall, "Visions Of A Life" is a deeply personal and introspective song that speaks to the struggles of finding meaning and connection in a world that can often feel uncaring and isolating.

I could bleach clean my soul but he knows I know I'm coming to dine in his hole
I could try to rid myself of my flaws and wrongdoings, but I'm painfully aware that my fate still lies in the hands of something more powerful than myself (the devil, perhaps).


Visions of a life Where I was satisfied Feed my hungry mind Where are you when I close my eyes?
I often yearn for a different life where I'm at peace with myself and my surroundings, but I'm haunted by the knowledge that I am still alone in this state of mind.


I left this world behind For the world I'd built inside Feed my hungry mind Where are you when I close my eyes?

Despite trying to conform to societal expectations and having a seemingly perfect, normal life, I still feel disconnected from everyone around me and don't know why.


People's ideals give me the chills to the bone I got one thousandmillion friends and I feel so alone
The values and beliefs of others that I encounter on a daily basis make me question myself even more, while the fact that I have a large amount of superficial friends only serves to isolate me further.


Stay as you are Everybody likes you Everybody cares There's some insight for you I'll get my coat I'll be the bitch
I'm constantly reminded to be happy with who I am and not change myself for others, even though it's difficult to resist doing so in order to fit in. However, I've reached the end of my rope and I'm about to leave.


I heard that journeys end in lovers meeting But my journey ends when my heart stops beating I'm leaving
Although it's often said that life's journey ends in love, I know that this isn't the case for me. My journey will end when I die, and I'm ready to leave this world behind.


Human heart in my hand Heart in my, human heart in my hand Taking it back, eyes straight ahead Cut it in half, better than dead Human heart in my hand Heart in my, human heart in my hand Taking it back, eyes straight ahead Cut it in half, better than dead Human heart in my hand Heart in my, human heart in my hand Taking it back, eyes straight ahead Cut it in half, better than dead
I'm taking back control of my life and emotions, even if it means hurting myself in the process. It's better to be in pain and alive, then numb and dead.
