| Ultravox – Visions In Blue Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I remember having the VHS video of Ultravox "The Collection" where there was a video of Visions in Blue. It was a mix of a live performance of the band with a film section showing two women bathing together in a bath being loving and a scene of one of the women looking out of a window soaked with raindrops. I think the song and the video are about the heartbreak surrounding forbidden love. A love forbidden by society, values or principles. The two women genuinely are in love yet are separated by something powerful and overbearing. The longing to be together and sharing love along with memories of what once was, is painful yet needed to carry on living , maybe in hope ?.... Face in the window looking out for who you love...memories, photos, letters, looking through people who smile because one misses something precious from life, that is forbidden. Clutching on to memories to keep alive. |

I agree with LuvMartinGore and lyricist1111 however, when I first got into this song my interpretation was slightly different. Agreed it could be reconciling with the same person who treated you badly. It could also mean falling for a different person and foreseeing the same sequence of events and end result happening again. My own experience biases my interpretation (obviously). After being with my first wife, divorcing then being single to then fall in love and resisting believing it would end badly eventually. |
