Impossible
Lizard Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The clock was moving slowly
Never hit its stride
It's so impossible
You know it's impossible
The days are long and lonely
Lord you know you've tried
But it's impossible
Yeah you know it's impossible
Now you're watching static
Up till six am
It's so impossible
You know it's impossible
Flowers in the attic
A gift from old Siam
It's so impossible
Yeah you know it's impossible
Can I delete my head?
Backspace my mind?
Autocorrect my feels? (Gimme a break)
Command Z my time? (I want it back)
0's and 1's in a virtual fog (This is great, right?)
But everyday, everyday, everyday
I write the blog (H-T-T-P!)
The clock was moving slowly
Never hit its stride
It's so impossible
You know it's impossible
You know it's impossible
You know it's impossible
You know it's impossible
Got my sights on a wicked ride
It's blue and green and white all down the side
I'm gonna take it everywhere I go




Don't you know
I am gonna take you for a ride

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Lizard Music's song "Impossible" convey a sense of frustration and longing for something more meaningful in life. The opening lines, "The clock was moving slowly, never hit its stride," present a feeling of time passing sluggishly and a lack of progress or fulfillment. The repetition of the word "impossible" emphasizes the singer's belief that achieving their desires or finding satisfaction seems out of reach.


The mention of the days being long and lonely suggests a sense of isolation and possibly boredom. The line "Flowers in the attic, a gift from old Siam" could symbolize faded beauty or forgotten dreams, further emphasizing the singer's state of longing and broken expectations.


The following verses shift the focus to a more technological realm. The references to watching static and staying up till 6 am, along with phrases like "Can I delete my head?" and "Autocorrect my feels?" highlight the singer's connection to the digital world and perhaps their attempt to navigate or escape from their reality. The mention of writing a blog suggests a desire for self-expression or reaching out, even if only in the virtual space.


The repetition of "it's so impossible" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's belief that their aspirations and desires are unattainable. However, the final lines provide a glimmer of hope and a change in tone. The mention of a "wicked ride" symbolizes a thrilling and exciting journey. The singer's determination to take this ride and the invitation to "take you for a ride" suggest a willingness to break free from the limitations and monotony expressed earlier in the song.


Overall, "Impossible" captures a sense of frustration and longing for something more in life. The lyrics explore themes of time, isolation, technological escapism, and the desire for a thrilling and fulfilling experience.
