Lucid
Eyelight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you feel your mind at ease
The doors are closed,
Don't forget to breathe
The ghosts that keep me up at night,
Take me back to my own light

This kind cannot progress,
Claws digging right in my chest
I tried to help but you are wrong
But here we are, who set this bar?

All of you, your beliefs are a lie
Did anyone bother to cross this line
And think to even realise
We're all living just to die

All of you, how far did you fly
Did your problems leave or follow behind
Dragged along like the life you live
Glass so dull but so deep in your skin

Lucid eyes, lucid eyes
Guide me to the vega light
Lucid eyes, lucid eyes
I'm wide awake and gone tonight

I'm crying, blind
Thoughts chained to my sides
Chills in my spine
Too much, too alive

I can't begin to describe
The demons in my mind
And they're forgiving
Something you'd never feel from me

Look whose the fool, who spent their prime
Crying for loved ones who
Left your side
I wish I could say this is in the past
It's eating away, vultures on flesh

Lucid eyes, lucid eyes
Guide me to the vega light
Lucid eyes, lucid eyes
I'm wide awake and gone tonight

Lucid eyes, lucid eyes
My spirit's gone
Death is in sight

I can't change the norm
My page has shown
This book is closed
I'm on my own

I need you to take a hard look at yourselves
And know that you're all exactly the same
You have exactly no one to blame
Say hello to your fellow clones
Together at last but always alone





Bow down and conform

Overall Meaning

Eyelight's "Lucid" is a song that tackles various themes such as the struggles of mental health, the perceptions of society, and the inevitability of death. The opening lines, "Do you feel your mind at ease, The doors are closed, Don't forget to breathe", serve as a mantra to remind listeners to take a moment to relax and breathe while attempting to navigate the sometimes-turbulent waters of life. The lyrics shift to the artist's demons that keep them up at night and take them back to their own light. This could be interpreted as the artist's struggles with mental health, with their ghosts being symbolic of the negative thoughts that plague their mind.


The chorus contains the repetition of the phrase "Lucid eyes, lucid eyes, Guide me to the vega light." The vega light could be symbolic of a form of enlightenment or a release from the struggles of everyday life. The lyrics in this section suggest that the artist is actively searching for a way to free themselves from their current state of mind. However, the final lines of the chorus, "I'm wide awake and gone tonight", also suggest a certain level of resignation to their current state of mind and a willingness to let go of their worries.


The second verse of the song takes on a slightly different tone. It speaks about the perceptions of society and the way that people conform to certain beliefs without bothering to question them. The lines "All of you, your beliefs are a lie, Did anyone bother to cross this line, And think to even realize, We're all living just to die" suggest that the artist is questioning the validity of certain societal norms and beliefs. The song concludes with a call for people to look at themselves and take responsibility for their actions, and to recognize that they are fundamentally the same. The final lines, "Bow down and conform", could be interpreted in various ways, but perhaps as a suggestion that sometimes it is necessary to conform to societal norms to survive.

Reminding others that we all share similar struggles and experiences


You have exactly no one to blame
Taking responsibility for one's own life and choices


Say hello to your fellow clones
Highlighting the monotony and lack of individuality in conformist societies


Together at last but always alone
Being surrounded by others does not necessarily mean one feels connected or understood


Bow down and conform
Condemning the pressure to fit in and meet others' expectations
