Lucid
Distant.lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My patience is running thin
Welcome to my home for lives and minds
All full up on sin
Yet, you can suck the life out of me
And I still end up inviting you in
The doors are always open
If you know where to begin
Give me some novocaine
When the only thing I feel is you
Stay away from my soul until you tell me the truth
In this cavern for the lost I'll watch you burn
Until I'm lying through my teeth
Find me out 'cause I will never learn
Don't wait inside the warm and dry
Just walk outside and embrace your inner child
Come with me and then you'll see
I'll show you a world of endless possibility
Break everything you need
My heart and soul right down to the bone
Even though you're tryna breath
Let it out fall under to the dark world underneath
Give me some novocaine
When the only thing I feel is you
Stay away from my soul until you tell me the truth
In this cavern for the lost I'll watch you burn
Til I'm lying through my teeth
Find me out 'cause I will never learn
Start with a house of cards now
Til your fucked up with the pain from scars now
What the hell were you thinking everybody here was drinking
Now your sinking like a ship on the brink of a trinket
We could skip it we could fight the fucking king
Til the crowns smashed down from the secret of the ring
I'm sitting in a corner screaming for the truth
You're a liar, you're on fire and you ripped me from my roots
I just wanna play smoke my life away
Ask me anything else I've got fuck all to say
I find me in time
Living out through the night
Living life like I should
Living straight down the line
Not today not today not today
Am I saved
Falling apart while you ink up my page
Sick of you, sick of you, sick of you, ay
Out of my life get the fuck out my way
Give me some novocaine
When the only thing I feel is you
Stay away from my soul until you tell me the truth
In this cavern for the lost I'll watch you burn
Until I'm lying through my teeth
Find me out 'cause I will never learn
The lyrics to Distant.lo's song Lucid explore the complex and often contradictory emotions that arise when we let someone into our hearts and lives. The singer of the song is struggling to balance their desire for connection and intimacy with their fear of being hurt and violated by others. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer confessing that their patience is running thin and acknowledging that they are surrounded by sin. Despite this, however, they are still drawn to the people around them, even though they know that these individuals have the power to suck the life out of them. The metaphor of the open doors represents the singer's willingness to let others in, even when they know that doing so may lead to their downfall.
The chorus of the song reveals the singer's ambivalence towards the person they are addressing. They crave them like a drug ("give me some novocaine"), but they also want to be protected from their harmful influence ("stay away from my soul until you tell me the truth"). The second stanza shifts the focus of the song to the concept of the lost and forgotten, with the singer watching the person they are addressing burn in a "cavern for the lost". The last stanza features a series of powerful images that suggest a struggle for power and control between the two parties involved. The singer accuses the other of lying and ripping them from their roots, calling for honesty and authenticity instead of games and manipulation.

Closing time
The end of a period of opportunity or a situation
My patience is running thin
I am becoming increasingly frustrated and have little patience left
Welcome to my home for lives and minds
Welcome to the place where I share my thoughts and ideas with others
All full up on sin
I have indulged in many sinful acts and am now full of them
Yet, you can suck the life out of me
Despite my emptiness, you are still able to take even more from me
And I still end up inviting you in
Despite being drained by you, I still find myself allowing you into my life
The doors are always open
I am always willing to let people into my life and space
If you know where to begin
If you are able to find a way to connect with me, I am open to building a relationship
Give me some novocaine
I need something to help me escape the pain and numb me
When the only thing I feel is you
You are the only thing that I am able to feel or focus on
Stay away from my soul until you tell me the truth
I do not want you to be a part of my life until you are honest with me
In this cavern for the lost I'll watch you burn
In this place where we are both lost, I will watch you suffer the consequences of your actions
Until I'm lying through my teeth
Until I am deceiving you about my true feelings and thoughts
Find me out 'cause I will never learn
Expose me for my dishonesty because I am unable to change my ways
Don't wait inside the warm and dry
Do not stay in your comfort zone, take risks and step out of your safety net
Just walk outside and embrace your inner child
Take a step out of your serious adult persona and embrace the carefree joy of childhood
Come with me and then you'll see
If you come with me, I will show you a new perspective and way of life
I'll show you a world of endless possibility
I will provide you with an unlimited array of opportunities
Break everything you need
Destroy whatever you feel is necessary to break free and start a new chapter in your life
My heart and soul right down to the bone
I am giving everything I have, down to the deepest depths of my being
Even though you're tryna breath
You may be struggling to survive, but I am still pushing forward
Let it out fall under to the dark world underneath
Release your inner demons and allow yourself to sink into the darkness
Start with a house of cards now
Begin with something that is likely to fail or fall apart
Til your fucked up with the pain from scars now
Until you are so damaged by your past experiences that you are unable to heal
What the hell were you thinking everybody here was drinking
Why did you make a poor decision when you knew everyone else was also acting foolishly?
Now your sinking like a ship on the brink of a trinket
You are sinking rapidly and are close to being destroyed, like a small, insignificant object on the brink of being lost
We could skip it we could fight the fucking king
We have the option to either avoid the problem altogether or confront it head-on
Til the crowns smashed down from the secret of the ring
We will keep fighting until the powerful force that is keeping us from succeeding is destroyed
I'm sitting in a corner screaming for the truth
I am desperately seeking the truth and will not stop until I find it
You're a liar, you're on fire and you ripped me from my roots
You have deceived me and caused me great harm, to the point where I feel like I have lost my foundation
I just wanna play smoke my life away
I want to avoid my problems and escape through a vice, such as smoking or other forms of addiction
Ask me anything else I've got fuck all to say
I have nothing else to contribute to the conversation or situation
Find me in time
Eventually, you will be able to discover my true self
Living out through the night
I am living recklessly and unconsciously, without concern for the future
Living life like I should
I am doing what I believe I need to do, even if it is destructive or harmful
Living straight down the line
I am living in a straightforward and unapologetic way, without deviation
Not today not today not today
I refuse to let something negative happen to me today
Am I saved
Is it possible for me to be redeemed or saved from my current situation?
Falling apart while you ink up my page
As I am unraveling and falling apart, you are recording and documenting everything
Sick of you, sick of you, sick of you, ay
I have reached a point where I can no longer stand you or your actions
Out of my life get the fuck out my way
I need you to leave my life and stop obstructing my path
