Drumattica combines elements of trance and 80's new wave with tribal drums and pop hooks. Picture Peter Gabriels Last Temptation of Christ with the Chemical Brothers meets The Doors and you've got the idea.
The band has a full length CD, "A Part of Something", and plays sporadically in the Northwest. Their live shows bring even more power and punch to the music, creating an almost hypnotic state of ecstasy.
Lucid
Drumattica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Labeled and lying in our plain
Surroundings, never unveil, never seeing
Lights on, lights on, light
Lights on, lights on, light
Your life has meaning, without purpose, we lay sleeping
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light, light
Save all your sight for seeing, save all your tongues for tasting
Pleasure exists for the experiencing, pleasure of humans only love
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
The lyrics of Drumattica's song "Lucid" highlight the idea of feeling disconnected from one's life and surroundings, and the importance of experiencing pleasure and finding purpose. The lyrics suggest that individuals may feel shut down and labeled in their daily life, never really seeing or unveiling the truth about themselves or the world around them.
The repeated chorus of "lights on, lights on, light" can be interpreted as a call for awakening and breaking free from this state of disconnection. The lyrics encourage listeners to save their sight for seeing and their tongues for tasting, emphasizing the importance of experiencing pleasure and savoring life's moments. In the end, the lyrics remind listeners that their life has meaning and that they must find their purpose and wake up to their potential.
