Empty Vision Lyrics

A paralyzed mind embracing decay
Dead like carrion, just wasting away

There is nothing...

Numbed by excess and complete saturation
Scarred influence by degeneration

There is nothing...
There is nothing to believe

All has been lost
All have lost their way
Every eye has been disgraced

Dead like carrion
We must carry on

There is nothing...

Lost innocence and blank revelations
Searching for a hope in static transmissions

There is nothing...
There is nothing to believe

All has been lost
All have lost their way
Every eye has been disgraced

Every eye
Every eye

There is no reason for empty vision

All has been lost
All have lost their way
All has been lost
All have lost their way
Every eye has been disgraced

There's no reason for empty vision

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Despite not having anything to bvelive in or live for, we should keep going and do something about it. No matter how fucked up society is today, it doesnt have to be this way, "There's no reason for empty vision", we can change it.

I agree. "A paralyzed mind embracing decay Dead like carrion, just wasting away"

I think we could say that our minds are stuck in the contents or boundaries of our beliefs, that we have learned in the environments we live in. What we were taught, and the media that surrounds us to distract our minds from thinking too much. Thus, being paralyzed, knowing that one day we are supposed to die, we know this as a fact, at least we have tricked ourselves to think so. So we brace decay, thinking that we have a life expectancy, therefore...

"Numbed by excess and complete saturation Scarred influence by degeneration"

We receive our life blood from the TV, every family in America sitting in front of the TUBE every night, gaining absolutely NO knowledge, only trash, "excess and complete saturation" of things to distract the mind from digging deep. We are brought up in an environment that has these things in existence, s what we know, and hold onto "scarred influence by degeneration" is to scar the future generations of REAL knowledge through the constant degeneration of the ability to think DEEPLY, so every generation it gets worse and worse.

"Lost innocence and blank revelations Searching for a hope in static transmissions"

From our TUBES we receive mostly negative information, vicariously we live through the tragedies of others, better it be them than me attitude. It is almost like we cannot live without it, it is a sickness. This has perpetuated since TV was invented and realized the best way to control people is to keep them in FEAR. You keep them in fear you will create stress, and every biological entity will go into a protection mode if it is threatened. Thereby not being able to progress, and making it harder to reach the positive again, since opposites attract, when we feel sad we want to feel happy. This is where the hope can come in. I'm rambling

I agree.

- I think we could say that our minds are stuck in the contents or boundaries of our beliefs, that we have learned in the environments we live in. What we were taught, and the media that surrounds us to distract our minds from thinking too much. Thus, being paralyzed, knowing that one day we are supposed to die, we know this as a fact, at least we have tricked ourselves to think so. So we brace decay, thinking that we have a life expectancy, therefore if we THINK we are going to die, we most certainly WILL. So what do we do? We just life a life of materialistic production until we reach our expected end, then we become carrion to the world.
