The lyrics of “Lucid” by Kelly Lee Owens are relatively straightforward and repetitive, with the focus being on the idea of being “different from the rest” and “somewhere in between” - in a state of lucidity. The repeated phrase “don’t you see it?” emphasizes the idea that the singer is trying to communicate something important to the listener, something that they may be missing or not fully grasping. The idea of being “somewhere in between” implies that the singer is existing in a space between two states, perhaps between reality and imagination or between consciousness and unconsciousness.
The repetition of the word “Lucid” throughout the song emphasizes the idea of being in a state of awareness or clarity. It’s worth considering the title of the song in relation to these lyrics - it suggests that the song is about the state of being lucid, and the lyrics seem to explore what it means to be in this state. The repeated phrase “where we ought to be” suggests that the singer is searching for something, something that perhaps can only be found in this state of lucidity.
Overall, the lyrics of “Lucid” are open to interpretation, and there are a few different ways that they could be understood. However, the repeated phrases and the focus on the concept of lucidity gives the impression that the singer is trying to communicate a very specific idea to the listener - perhaps an idea that is difficult to express in words.

@@heyheyodelay The West will not fall, uptight Bible thumpers will save it.
The music machine has indeed become more and more open that it is the Whore of Babylon.
I wonder why women from muslim countries do not dress like that, there are no uptight Bible thumpers in muslim countries.
Altough, the music is great and besides her let s say feminism in clothing she has a cool style of clothing.
