Visions
bort Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Void messiah turns septic blood to frozen wine
Feel him beckon, siren song
Part the seas of faceless fatalistic throngs
I guess I'm dreaming but I haven't slept in days
I feel my mind anesthetize more each and every hellish day
His auburn mantle burns the acrolith of fate
Insomniac, don't proselytize
I've seen the future radiate though demon's eyes
I guess I'm dreaming but I haven't slept in days
I feel my mind anesthetize more each and every hellish day
I try to end it all but still I feel the gallows giving way
Is it my fate to walk the earth a shadow of our live's decay
Crawl back inside
My dark place to hide
Crawl back inside
My dark place to hide
Crawl back inside
My dark place to hide
The lyrics to Bort's song "Visions" are quite dark and ominous, painting a picture of someone plagued by disturbing visions and the influence of a void messiah. The opening line, "Plagued by visions, dark designs," sets the tone for the rest of the song, conveying a sense of foreboding and despair. The following line, "Void messiah turns septic blood to frozen wine," suggests a corrupting influence, transforming something potentially life-giving into something tainted and dead.
The song then shifts to a more personal struggle, with the singer experiencing a dissociative state - "I guess I'm dreaming but I haven't slept in days / I feel my mind anesthetize more each and every hellish day." The theme of despair and hopelessness continues, with lines like "There's no justice, only hate" and "Is it my fate to walk the earth a shadow of our live's decay."
Overall, "Visions" is a haunting and troubling look at the darker corners of the human psyche. It's open to interpretation, but one could read it as representing the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of negativity and despair, with no clear way out.
Line by Line Meaning
Plagued by visions, dark designs
Haunted by disturbing thoughts and intentions
Void messiah turns septic blood to frozen wine
A leader who is empty and corrupt, who turns something diseased and rotten into something seemingly valuable
Feel him beckon, siren song
Hear his irresistible call, like a seductive melody
Part the seas of faceless fatalistic throngs
Break through the crowd of hopeless people who lack identity or purpose
There's no justice, only hate
The absence of fairness and only a feeling of animosity
His auburn mantle burns the acrolith of fate
The figure's red cloak destroys the foundation of destiny
Insomniac, don't proselytize
An inability to sleep and a warning to not try to convert others to one's beliefs
I've seen the future radiate though demon's eyes
The future appears bright and full of energy, but it's viewed through evil perspectives
Crawl back inside, my dark place to hide
Retreat to a personal, isolated space of comfort
