Lucid
Mars Electric Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!

Desperate butterflies wade into the fray again
The sun burns out and leaves them void
So not afraid, something changed, find a way

Lucid eyes look through the trees
And stole the green inside of me
I′m not afraid of losing out

I never asked for this, argue 'til we′re drunk like wine
You drank the poison that they fed

So not afraid, something changed, find a way

Lucid eyes look through the trees
And stole the green inside of me
I'm not afraid of losing out





Such a waste

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mars Electric's song Lucid evoke a sense of desperation and anxiety, as the singer finds themselves once again facing a difficult situation. The image of "desperate butterflies wading into the fray" suggests a feeling of vulnerability, as though the singer is unsure of their ability to navigate whatever challenge they are facing. The sun "burning out and leaving them void" adds to this sense of despair and hopelessness.


Despite these difficulties, however, the singer is "not afraid" and has "found a way" to persevere. This determination is reflected in the repeated refrain, "Lucid eyes look through the trees / And stole the green inside of me / I'm not afraid of losing out." Here, the image of lucid (or clear) eyes suggests a sense of clarity and perspective that has helped the singer to overcome their fear and uncertainty.


Overall, Lucid is a powerful meditation on the importance of resilience in the face of adversity. While the lyrics are somewhat ambiguous, they seem to suggest that we all have the ability to overcome our fears and achieve our goals, as long as we stay focused and determined.
