Vista
iamamiwhoami Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Want, want, want, you

Stretching out before my eyes
Are litches who rule loud and wise
Regal shimmer, blinding shine
But law alone is belong whose says bye
All the shallow rifts I have to wade
This could've become my darkest hour
Enough are days of living in the shade

I see how to occlude
Is it underneath or on the vista?
Hide my land of frozen soil
That's why some despair through looking at mine

Can you follow me (want)
And I'll do if you (you) take my hand
This is all for you, (want)
Will you be there to (you) To take that!

Improbable place unknown
Untouched and all undestroyed
Here I let my armies grow
Our voices will loudly crow
And I'm here at a deadly poor end
Never believed to cure the doubt
Want the world rushing in my veins

I see how to occlude
Is it underneath or on the vista?
Hide my land of frozen soil
What's why some despair through looking at mine

Can you follow me (want) and I'll do if you (you) take my hand
This is all for you (want), if you give and shy

Want, (lies) if you take me, (lies) hoo
Want, (lies) if want if, want, if you to take me, hoo if

Can you follow me through a second realm
Can you taste the pain what's howls against your tongue

I see how to occlude
Is it underneath or on the vista?
Hide my land of frozen soil
That's why some despair through looking at mine





Can you follow me (want) and I'll do if you (you) take my hand
This is all (want) for you, if you give and shy (will you be there to) to take that!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to iamamiwhoami's song "vista" are abstract and open to interpretation. On one level, the song seems to be about a desire for something unattainable, represented by the repeated refrain of "want, want, want, you." The singer describes a land of "litches" who rule "loud and wise," where "regal shimmer" and "blinding shine" are the norm. However, they also realize that this world is not for them ("law alone is belong whose says bye") and instead choose to hide their "land of frozen soil" from those who may despair at the sight of it. The singer invites someone to follow them into this hidden realm but also warns of the pain that may come with it.


The song also explores themes of personal growth and self-discovery. The opening lines seem to suggest that the singer has overcome a difficult time ("Enough are days of living in the shade") and is now able to see through illusions and "occlude" things that were previously hidden. They have the strength to "let [their] armies grow" in a place that was previously "unknown" and "undestroyed." The final lines of the song ask if the listener is willing to be there for the singer ("will you be there to take that") in this new realm of possibility.


Overall, "vista" is a complex and poetic exploration of desire, identity, and growth.

Stretching out before my eyes
All riches a ruler requires
Regal shimmer, blinding shine
All hollowness when all this is mine

Through all the shallow depths, I had to wade
This could have become my darkest hour
Enough of days of living in the shade

My icy heart will turn to gold
Gazing underneath this tidy sky 
Claim my land of frozen soil
Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine

Can you follow me never to be found
Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine

Improbable place unknown
Untouched and undestroyed
Here I let my armies grow
Our voices will loudly crow

Whoever needed identity to reign
Make them believe to cure their drought
I want the world rushing through my veins

My icy heart will turn to gold
Gazing underneath this tidy sky 
Claim my land of frozen soil
Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine

Can you follow me never to be found
Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine

Can you follow me through the second round?
Can you taste the pale white salt against your tongue?

My icy heart will turn to gold
Gazing underneath this tidy sky 
Claim my land of frozen soil
Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine

Can you follow me never to be found
Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine

Want want want (You)
Stretching out before my eyes
Are riches a ruler requires
Regal shimmer, blinding shine
But hollowness when all this is mine
Through all the shallow depths, I had to wade
This could've become my darkest hour
Enough of days living in the shade

I see harbor, ooh ooh ooh
Is it underneath the tide vista?
Hide my land of frozen soil
That’s why some go scared through looking at mine
Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it ALL
Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take ALL

Improbable place unknown
Untouched and all undestroyed
Here I let my armies grow
Our voices will loudly crow

In the middle of a deadly current
Never believed to cure the doubt
I want the world rushing through my veins

I see harbor, ooh ooh ooh
Is it underneath the tide vista?
Hide my land of frozen soil
That’s why some go scared through looking at mine
Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it ALL
Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take ALL

Want only you to take me all! [want (me), you, take ALL (me)]
I want you to take ALL! (me)

Can you follow me through a second round? Yeah
Can you taste the pale white salts against your tongue?

I see harbor, ooh ooh ooh
Is it underneath the tide vista?
Hide my land of frozen soil
That’s why some go scared through looking at mine
Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it ALL
Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take ALL

Can we please talk about her beautiful ICE inspired costume? She's stole my heart. 

Charles Webb

Igualmente.

Andy Zaturno

I wish I was a millionaire and give them so much money to keep doing this magic, to keep generating this magic. Music has a new meaning for me because of iamamiwhoami. There's hope for music after all. 

Lauren G.

When I was pregnant with my son, I'd play her music and he'd kick up a storm. Now he's here and we dance around the living room to her music. I hope he loves her music just as much as I do, she's gotten me through the best of times and the worst.

Reagan

that's an awesome story :D
thanks for sharing <3

Bishy The Bish

Lauren G. Oh that was so great. You are the best mom

Shu Meister

That's really cool story! I used to crave music, before I could talk, unfortunately my parents weren't really into playing music very often. It sounds like you're having a lot of fun at home <3

David Roberts

Well said. Thanks!

She can control her demons so much better, she's not running away from them anymore, now she dances and they follow. Well, at the end she started running again, but at least she ended up controlling them a little bit.

Andy Zaturno

Yes, I can follow you Jonna, to the end of the world if that's necessary. Omg when she smiles, so cute. I love how they are using ICE this time to represent the video. So beautiful, I loved the song too! ANOTHER MASTERPIECE. There's one more video left and this era is over, I'M SO SAD.
