Lucid
Eyelight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Do you feel your mind at ease
Take a moment to calm down and relax before proceeding any further
The doors are closed,
Shut out any external distractions
Don't forget to breathe
Remember to inhale and exhale to maintain your composure
The ghosts that keep me up at night,
Past traumas continue to haunt me
Take me back to my own light
I desire to return to a time of innocence and joy
This kind cannot progress,
Negative emotions hinder progress and personal growth
Claws digging right in my chest
The pain and discomfort of these emotions are physically felt
I tried to help but you are wrong
Despite good intentions, some people refuse to accept help or change their ways
But here we are, who set this bar?
Who determines societal norms and expectations?
All of you, your beliefs are a lie
Challenging others to question what they hold to be true
Did anyone bother to cross this line
Is anyone willing to look beyond preconceived boundaries?
And think to even realise
Reflection and introspection is necessary for personal growth
We're all living just to die
Life's ultimate conclusion is death for all of us
All of you, how far did you fly
Asking others how much they have accomplished or grown
Did your problems leave or follow behind
As one overcomes their problems, do they fade away or continue to impact the rest of their life?
Dragged along like the life you live
Acknowledging that life is challenging and not always easy
Glass so dull but so deep in your skin
Memories or pains may not be visible but can still be felt deeply
Lucid eyes, lucid eyes
Looking for clarity in thought and perception
Guide me to the vega light
Seeking direction towards inner peace and enlightenment
I'm wide awake and gone tonight
Fully present and conscious in the current moment
I'm crying, blind
Emotionally overwhelmed and unable to see clearly
Thoughts chained to my sides
Held back by negative or anxious thoughts
Chills in my spine
Physical manifestation of fear or dread
Too much, too alive
Feeling overwhelmed by life's intensity
I can't begin to describe
Unable to fully articulate thoughts or feelings
The demons in my mind
The inner struggles and turmoil one may face
And they're forgiving
Despite their negative impact, offering the possibility of redemption or release
Something you'd never feel from me
Not always able to offer or receive forgiveness and understanding
Look whose the fool, who spent their prime
Wasting valuable time and energy on negative emotions or people
Crying for loved ones who
Grieving for those who are no longer present
Left your side
Feeling abandoned or alone
I wish I could say this is in the past
Wanting to leave negative events and people in the past
It's eating away, vultures on flesh
Negative experiences or people continue to take a toll on one's mental and emotional health
My spirit's gone
Feeling devoid of life, energy, or passion
Death is in sight
Feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, possibly experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts
I can't change the norm
Feeling trapped within societal expectations or limitations
My page has shown
One's character and personality are evident to those around them
This book is closed
Possibly accepting one's current situation or past and moving on
I'm on my own
Feeling isolated or unsupported
I need you to take a hard look at yourselves
Challenging others to examine their own thoughts, actions, and beliefs
And know that you're all exactly the same
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
