COLD VISIONS (OUTRO 2) Lyrics – Bladee

[Intro]
I have always felt a few steps outside of myself
A few seconds too late
Knowing but unable to formulate
Too vain too lame
To aim, to chase
Having but unable to have
Collecting the sand
To try and restore the stone
The vision is clear
But I’m nowhere near
Carrying something that’s too heavy to bear
But wanting it near
And holding it dear
Is it out of fear?
Cold Visions

[Verse]
Cold winter flowers under snow is it still living?
Cold vision
Yes yes all alone
Summers indefinitely postponed
I hope I’ll hope
I hope I won’t be buried under this snow
All this snow, so cold, so cold
Nowhere to go
Flowers lying down dormant for long
Torment that has made them strong
Spring comes, they’ll grow
They know (They know)
Feather in the wind sinks like a stone
When the winds finally gone
But the place is not the point
Two sides of the same coin
I don’t care but I care
I’m challenged by nothing
I’m asking for suffering
I’m asking for it
I don’t care but I care
What is this sick justice?
Our flesh turn to plastic
The rest is history

[Outro]
Yellow leaves in a black puddle
Smell of the winter soon coming
The threat of nothing
I’m scared of nothing
I want something
Say something
Just tell me something
Anything
I know I said I’d do anything
And you never thought I would lie
Neither did I
Let’s wish for something
Let’s skip assumptions
Let’s think, let’s sing
Won’t you let the love in?
Let’s wish for something
Let’s skip assumptions
Let’s think, let’s sing
Won’t you let the love in
God is love is my
Love
Cold

[Intro]
The intro reflects a sense of disconnection and introspection. Bladee describes feeling detached from oneself, always lagging behind reality. Despite understanding and possessing certain things, there’s an inability to fully grasp or achieve them. The imagery of collecting sand to restore a stone symbolizes futile efforts to regain something lost. The clarity of vision contrasts with the inability to reach it, hinting at a struggle with desire and fear. The repetition of “cold visions” emphasizes the haunting nature of these unattainable desires and the chilling feeling of being trapped in one’s own mind.

[Verse]
The verse explores themes of isolation and resilience amidst adversity. Bladee contemplates the resilience of life, likening it to cold winter flowers buried under snow. Despite the harsh conditions, there’s hope for growth and renewal with the arrival of spring. The metaphor extends to personal struggles, where torment strengthens one’s resolve. Bladee questions the meaning of suffering and justice in a seemingly indifferent world, pondering the fragility of existence and the inevitability of change. The duality of caring and not caring underscores a conflicted attitude towards life’s challenges.

[Outro]
The outro reflects a yearning for connection and meaning. Bladee expresses a fear of emptiness and a desire for something tangible. The imagery of yellow leaves in a black puddle evokes a sense of impending decay and loss. Despite this, there’s a plea for communication and honesty, emphasizing the importance of genuine human connection. Bladee acknowledges past promises and seeks to move beyond assumptions, inviting openness and love into his life. The repetition of “let’s wish for something” signifies a longing for fulfillment and a rejection of apathy, concluding with a reaffirmation of love amidst the coldness of existence.
