Royksopp - Vision One Lyrics






There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildings
Would throw their cape around each corner of the grassy fields
And one by one, each huge shade would cover the green with black
Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen

Everybody let us gaze upon the world we created
And let's rest our eyes upon the great machine as we wave goodbye
Feel the evening breeze caress us while the cities are dying
As we watch it fall into a modern state, a modern time

Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life
A zillion noises whimper as they travel through the sky
And one by one, each little sound has faded away with time
Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen

Everybody let us say goodbye to all our notions
'Cause it's not enough to say that we're humane when we're left behind
It's too late to think that we can worship human emotions
'Cause we've already evolved into machines in our minds.

Hah-Ah [x7]

    Lyrics
    There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildings
    would throw their cape around each corner of the grassy fields
    And one by one each huge shade would color the green with black
    Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen
    Everybody let us gaze upon the world we've created
    Let us rest our eyes upon the great machine as we wave goodbye
    Feel the evening breeze caress us while the cities are dying
    As we watch it fall into a modern state, a modern time
    Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life
    A zillion noises whimper as they travel through the sky
    And one by one each new sound has faded away with time
    Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen
    Everybody let us say goodbye to all our notions
    Cause it's not enough to say that we're humane when we're left behind
    It's too late to think that we can worship human emotions
    Cause we've already evolved into machines in our minds

    I knew there was a reason this song gives me such chills! It's like a cosmic otherworldly feeling I get from this song. Like I've been there before. Then today, I discovered, this song samples "Too High" by Stevie Wonder. All things lead back to The Wonder!! But builds it up so incredibly. https://youtu.be/UvtYEdYjkJM

  13. H.... ....

    i love it, thanks

  14. J.... D....

    I love this song!

  15. F.... D....

    A part of this audio is a copy of NASA Cassini Enceladus mission audio a certainty that they copied the end of the mission audio in minutes 4:54 to 4:59, correct me if I am wrong. link: https://www.nasa.gov/mp3/584796main_enceladus.mp3

    Stevie Wonder ?..

  46. R.... ....

    does anyone know if the intro was written by royksopp or sampled from another piece of music?

    R.... ....

    Especially the end is sampled from Enceladus

  47. X.... M....

    Oh. That's a fun use of Stevie Wonder's "Too High" groove

    Charlie Hoyas Ahhhhh! I thought so!

  58. G.... ....

    The beginning of this song never fails to send chills down my spine. I had used it as my alarm every morning for most of my college years. It's such a pleasant first thing to hear every day. The whole song just kicks ass.

    G.... ....

    Exaclty that intro is divine

    It's called a wasp

    P.... ....

    its a synthesizer

    P.... ....

    Cam Slead it’s actually called a trace

  62. T.... S....

    goosebumps!

  63. L.... T....

    Best Royksopp track ever 💖💖

  64. P.... _....

    The intro even sounds like lbp2

  65. T.... L....

    Is it me or did the singer get her inspiration from Eri Nobuchika - Sing a Song? It's inflexion wise almost a carbon copy.

    T.... L....

    +Trafalgar Law As far as I know, Vision One is the English language version of a remix that Royksopp did of Sing a Song

  66. O.... ....

    The synth bass is like Röyksopp's trademark. It's too original :) Plus, Godly!

  67. n.... ....

    That rubbery bass is so good!! <3

    n.... ....

    nosignalism i feel like it's like a plastic comb being run down the edge of a table :p

  68. v.... ....

    This audio is mono for some reason. Do yourself a favor and listen to another version of this song.

  86. V.... C....

    great song i think its better than the instrumental! It also sounds like there is a story behind it or something its like you can easily imagine something happening to the world as the gods are trying to figure out what but then give up. 

  87. m.... ....

    This is in my top three of favorite Royksopp songs.

    m.... ....

    say it to my face

    m.... ....

    Kinda hard to do online, doncha think, GD?? :0)

    m.... ....

    It's up there. Sorry for the unforgivable flaw in my character, or whatever. :0)

    m.... ....

    "It, to my face". Tee hee.

  88. l.... g....

    Ridiculously chill vibes from this song. Just wow. 

  89. j.... ....

    intro is more than music

    j.... ....

    @dave blueballz No, let's talk about this. Some other person and me express the view that the intro to this song is especially nice and that we would like some extended version of it. Then you come out and say that the other person is a kid and they should learn real music (both of which are a total non sequitur from the things he said), and when called out upon your nonsensical argument, you continue the ad hominem with soy boy and my somehow being exposed (again didn't mention for what). I maintain that we exposed you for writing nonsensical comments that have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand.

    j.... ....

    @Raygen Sorry, case got closed.

    j.... ....

    @dave blueballz Then I will rest mine...

    j.... ....

    @Raygen Don't try to find some logic shit about what this retarded bad troll is saying.. it's like talking to a wall..

    j.... ....

    @dave blueballz No need to be asshole just because somebody likes the opening of a song..

  90. E.... H....

    I didn't know they copied Stevie Wonder on this one. (Too High - from innervisions)

  91. E.... C....

    This song was yanked from Spotify recently.  Message now says "The track is currently not available in the United States."

    E.... C....

    This is 5 years from the future. It is back on spotify. Check it out.

  92. A.... T....

    This song.... it need more like.
