Terrible Vision
Unveiling Love's Deception: Terrible Vision by Rhett Miller
Lyrics
I had a dream I was employed at my old position
Had a dream of being back in my old job.
As your second string it cut me down to the quick
Felt hurt and diminished being considered a second choice.
It hurt so badly who's to say is it possible
The pain was intense, questioning the possibility of healing.
It felt like it was real there was no god
The dream seemed so real, devoid of any comforting belief.
I could believe in
No faith or solace could be found.
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
Pointing out a lack of understanding, suggesting someone has terrible vision.
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
Expressing deep love and emphasizing its significance.
I had a dream that you were gone it was a heart condition
Imagining a scenario where the person is absent due to a heart condition.
Like I'd never known what my name was
A feeling of identity loss, as if the person has forgotten who I am.
You couldn't see me
Feeling invisible or unnoticed by the person.
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
Reiterating the idea that the person has a lack of understanding.
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
Reaffirming deep love and its all-encompassing nature.
If I had known that you could leave
Regret about not anticipating the possibility of the person leaving.
I would have stolen myself out
If aware, would have tried to protect oneself from the pain of separation.
As it is I'm so in love there is no god
Expressing profound love even in the absence of comforting beliefs.
It was a dream that's all it was you've got to wake me up now
Recognizing that the intense feelings were only a dream, seeking to be awakened.
You've got to wake me up now
Emphasizing the urgency to be brought back to reality.
You've got to wake me up now
Continuing the plea to be awakened from the dream.
You've got to wake me up now
Reiterating the need to be brought back to reality.
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
Pointing out a perceived lack of understanding once again.
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
Stressing the importance of being in love and its profound meaning.
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
Repeating the idea of the person's poor understanding.
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
Reiterating the significance of being in love despite perceived lack of comprehension.
