Tunnelvision Lyrics

Tunnelvision
Strange decision

Tunnelvision
You know you want it all

And you never lose

You feel you don’t have a proper place to live
So you gotta prove

It’s not as big as a jungle tiger

It’s not as sad as a mother’s

People live and then they die

Tunnelvision
Strange decision

Tunnelvision

Anything is possible

When you’re chasing

The useless people in the street

Anything is possible
You won’t accept your only

Tunnelvision
Strange decision

Tunnelvision
Strange decision

hmm, i like this... "you won't accept that anything is possible you won't to wonder why..."

so, does anyone have any thoughts on meanings?

Life and anything is posible.

Tunnel Vision; The way you look at life. When people have near death experiences they claim to see a tunnel of light so It could also meen your sight into the unknown.

Strange desision; The desision of doing what you dream or just doing what gets you by. Im not very sure on that one...It could mean simply the choices in life.

People live and then they die to get a tunnel vision; Its about how we always want something from the world, at the end we die to return to heaven, the whole...

Tunnelvision Strange decision

Tunnelvision You know you want it all

And you never lose

You feel you don't have a proper place to live So you gotta prove (Background repetition loops, on album, begin:"Everything's possible," "Everything,"&"Everything seems possible") It's not as big as a jungle tiger, It's not as sad as a mother's bones People live and then they die, Together now we'll never know(??)

Tunnelvision Strange decision

Tunnelvision It hits you out of words It nearly knocked you off your head You know now that she needed the most It's better done than better said No more chasing all their words

Useless people in the street You won't accept that anything is possible You won't accept your own defeat (/only feat??), no...

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Tunnelvision lyrics by Here We Go Magic

I hate to be that guy, but I believe this song is about (at least in part) psychedelic drugs. Psychedelics can radically alter your vision, or give you an odd perspective, or warp/curve your vision like a tunnel. "Strange decision" might be referring to the decision to take whatever it was the speaker took. I'd definitely say that's a fitting phrase - I remember when I tried shrooms, I felt very strange the entire time, and wondered why I decided to take them. Looking back on it, I can't say it was a particularly good or bad experience; it was just strange. "You know you want it all:" psychedelics can open your mind to ideas and truths (and a vast amount of sensory information) that seem completely beyond human cognitive abilities. It can be like finding the key to the secrets of the universe ("anything is possible").

The overall ambient/psychedelic feel of the song supports this reading. The lyrics, too, seem to be a bit scattered and meandering, not unlike the thoughts of someone tripping.
