Lucidious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I said that I'm losing my faith and been struggling coping
Been stuck for a while when I look at the clock man I feel like it's frozen
Then again time is just flying too quick and I'm losing devotion
Truth is I feel no emotion
Bottle it up and all I feel is rage
And I would be lying if I looked at you and said I'm not afraid
What if I never get through this shit what do I do if I can't find my way
Speaking of him man I gotta be honest
We ain't really speaking these days
I'm just scared that I won't get to know him before the day he fades away
My family fought a lot when I was growing up what can I say (What can I say)
What can I say by fighting there really ain't nothing to gain
I know that the sun is out there somewhere but I been living in rain
Can we quit playing games I'm standing right here and I'm ready to change
And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame
Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screaming your names
It's times like this I see your face
Wish you didn't leave this place
Searching for the reason why
So take a moment of silence
Goodbye
Give me a second I wanna say something to my little brother
When you get older your father is not gonna be with your mother
I'm 23 years older than you I know that it's kind of confusing
Forget all the bullies that make fun of you it's just for their amusement
Let go of negatives seek out the light
Develop yourself you should journal and write
Speak with integrity treat women right
And you don't gotta drink every typical night
Being popular really ain't everything nah don't give in to that hype
And it's okay to forgive the people that hurt you but don't give in twice
And to each of my sisters
I know we been drifting
Our parents divorced we all moved away and the family shifted
Yeah we visit on Christmas, but even the holidays different
Gotta make something out of this gift that God has graciously gifted
I know that the sun is out there somewhere but I been living in rain
Can we quit playing games I'm standing right here and I'm ready to change
And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame
Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screaming your names
It's times like this I see your face
Wish you didn't leave this place
Searching for the reason why
So take a moment of silence
Goodbye
Oh man, lucid, where do I even start
Your music, it's amazing
It's like, you really believe in what you're rapping
In my opinion, it's some of the best, best music out there
Keep it up TJ
Give me a second I owe an apology to a few people
I regret a few things and I made some mistakes when I gave in to evil
To all of my exes I'm sorry I know I was often deceitful
But after Veronica cheated I gave up and didn't treat future girls equal
I'm sorry to all that I pushed away when I fell deep in depression
I never gave enough attention to people I loved so I just started ruining friendships
I guess that I've taken the easy way out now by rapping confessions
This a passion of mine and the only way that I can deal with my stresses
Man I get emotional every time I stop and think about Taylor
Still can't believe that you took your own life away just to get rid of these haters
I just hope that you found some peace and serenity in your decision
No one knew what you were going through then again maybe we just didn't listen
To my Grammy I wish that I said goodbye before the day that you left
Not telling you how much I love you is something that I still regret
But I know you're in heaven
And that it's all okay
One day I'll be with you and all of my fans will be screaming my name
This song is dedicated to Taylor Eller
We love you
And may you rest in peace

Oh man, Lucid. Where do I even start? Your music, it's amazing. It's like you really believe in what you're after. In my opinion
It's some of the best, the best, music out there. Keep it up TJ
[Verse 1]
What if I told you that I didn't feel good enough and I'm broken
What if I said that I'm losin' my faith and been struggling with coping
Been stuck for a while
When I look at the clock man I feel like it's frozen
Then again time is just flying too quick
And I'm losing devotion
Truth is I feel no emotion
Bottled it up and all I feel is rage
And I would be lying if I looked at you and said I'm not afraid
What if I never get through this shit
What do I do if I can't find my way
And I know that my father has been counting on me to carry our name
Speakin' of him and I got to be honest
We ain't really speakin' these days
I've been scared that I won't get to know him before the day he fades away
My family fought a lot when I was growin' up
What can I say?

And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame
Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screamin' your name

Why do we want to die before our time? For all those who have power in this fallen world are not even humans. They are the evil spirits, who have stole everything from us. And we, going away before our time to die – we give our enemies what they have wanted all along – we give them our lives. Ephesians 6:12 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
If we do not call upone the NAME OF THE LORD and SHALL BE NOT SAVED – then our souls – our very being is theirs (satan`s) and not GOD`S.
Romans 10:13 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Psalms 145:18 | View whole chapter | See verse in context

Psalms 18:3 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalms 116:13 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Do not take away what`s GOD`S . Your soul belongs to GOD who give it, your soul do not belong to satan. For lucifer is none to be worshipped, he is also the creation of GOD. Without GOD, there be no lucifer. For even the name: “LUCIFER” is GOD given.
1 Chronicles 16:8 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

You are becoming an un - human entitie. Why did you went along and got POISONED?
What will their appearances be once the transformation is over?
Money is worthless if it`s your SOUL who burns.
Broken and heavy burdened souls, CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD - YOU WILL BE SAVED and HEALED TOO.
