Lucid
Markhese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking bout you all the time
I might be in a dream
And I'm hallucinating
You're gone, I can't straight and
I might go to extremes
And look for you in a bottle or two
Of your old-time favorite 80 proof
Cuz it tastes like you used to
But I wish I was lucid and you were here
I'd stop acting stupid
Sober up and come down from this nightmare
I wish I was lucid
I wish I was lucid
I wish I was lucid (ahh)
Oh I wish I was
You're not real anymore
What's the drinking for?
Cuz you're not there for me
But I'll still look for you at the bottom of two
Old empty bottles of 80 proof
Look at this mess that I turned into
But it tastes like you used to
And I wish I was lucid and you were here
I'd stop acting stupid
Sober up and come down from this nightmare
I wish I was lucid
I wish I was lucid
I wish I was lucid (ahh)
Oh I wish I was
(La-la-la-la-la-la-lucid)
Oh I wish I was
The lyrics in Markhese's song "Lucid" depict a person who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The singer's mind is in a confused and chaotic state as they are unable to stop thinking about their ex and are even experiencing hallucinations. The use of alcohol is also seen as a coping mechanism for this individual, where they try to find solace in their partner's old favorite drink, which tastes like them, making them feel closer to them. The singer wishes they were lucid, as they are aware that they are not in a healthy state of mind, but they are unable to shake off their feelings and thoughts about their former partner.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm messed up in my mind
I am mentally unstable and distressed
Thinking bout you all the time
I am constantly preoccupied with thoughts of you
I might be in a dream
I am uncertain whether I am experiencing reality or fantasy
And I'm hallucinating
I am experiencing sensory perceptions that aren't real
You're gone, I can't straight and
I feel disoriented and unable to function because you are no longer with me
I might go to extremes
I am willing to take drastic measures
And look for you in a bottle or two
I am searching for you in alcohol consumption
Of your old-time favorite 80 proof
I am drinking a specific type of alcohol that reminds me of you
And lose myself In a shot or a few
I am trying to escape from reality through drinking
Cuz it tastes like you used to
The flavor of the alcohol brings me back to memories of you
But I wish I was lucid and you were here
I want to be clear-headed and have you by my side
I'd stop acting stupid
I am aware that my behavior is irrational
Sober up and come down from this nightmare
I want to be free from my current state of mind
You're not real anymore
I am acknowledging that you are no longer a present figure in my life
What's the drinking for?
I am questioning why I continue to drink despite your absence
Cuz you're not there for me
I feel a void in my life without you
But I'll still look for you at the bottom of two
Despite knowing that you are not present, I will continue to search for you in drinking
Old empty bottles of 80 proof
I am nostalgic for a time when we were together
Look at this mess that I turned into
I am regretful of the state that I am in and how I reached it
But it tastes like you used to
The alcohol still reminds me of you
Oh I wish I was
I desire to change my current condition
I wish I was lucid
I long to have a clear mind
La-la-la-la-la-la-lucid
Repeating 'lucid' suggests the desire for a more conscious state
Oh I wish I was
The repetition implies the depth of the longing for lucidity
