Song Meaning of “Visions” by Razed In Black
“Visions” by Razed in Black is a song about facing our inner fears and struggles. The lyrics depict a person struggling to make sense of the chaotic visions and emotions in their head, and trying to control these feelings from overtaking them. Dreams and visions are often seen as mystical and mysterious, but in this song they manifest as negative and sometimes terrifying entities. The chorus of the song paints a vivid picture of a mind filled with uncertainty, and the only thing left to do is keep on pushing:
“Every night I lay in bed,
in a world that lives in my head.
But the vision I see inside,
there’s no way I’ll run and hide.
And I’m facing the fear within,
trying to escape from within.
Gonna keep trying till the day I’m through,
these visions of me and you.
Chorus:
I’m living in a world of pain, rivers of sorrow flow through my veins.
Lost in these visions of me and you, nothing else I can do.
Take me home, break through my mental pain, I’m searching for my sanity again.
Lost in these visions of me and you, nothing else I can do.”
The song presents a very honest and stark look into the realities of mental health. It speaks to the struggle of continuously trying to make it through one’s own mental tribulations, and finding the courage to keep on pushing despite the fears and visions that threaten to overwhelm us. It serves as an important reminder to remain strong in the face of our most personal battles, and to never give up on ourselves.
