Lucid
Jordan Rakei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was all
Something or nothing
To me

Wake from this dream
It was all something
And nothing to me
I'll make you believe
That it was all something
And nothing to me
Take hold of me
Always, forever a fantasy
Wake from this dream
It was all something
And nothing to me

I was scared and unaware
Moving out of darkness
Darkness
I was trapped in the flesh
Moving out of darkness

Caught amongst the flames
And now my heart's ablaze
Broken down and now
I'm stranded here
Oh, the light
Shines on me
Shines on me too much

Finding myself now
I was all something
And nothing to you
Birth to the storm clouds
They were all something
And nothing to you

I was scared and unaware, no
Moving out of darkness
Darkness
I was trapped in the flesh
Moving out of darkness

Caught amongst the flames
Now my heart's ablaze
Broken down
And now I'm stranded here
Oh, the light
Shines on me
Shines on me too much





Oh, the light
Oh, the light
