Psychic Chasms
Neon Indian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Common waves pouring through carry me four and two at a time where all my thoughts are from
Common haze slowly looms piercing through like soul for ? just contemplated signs

Distant looks from your face take me to another place in time where we were more refined
Night drains just awake in the end it's always faking on your thoughts were meant to draw




Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are from Neon Indian's song Psychic Chasms. The lyrics are quite abstract and mysterious, but they seem to suggest a feeling of being carried away or transported to another place through music or sound waves. The "common waves" and "common haze" could refer to the ubiquitous nature of these sound waves, which are all around us but often go unnoticed. The singer seems to be in a contemplative state of mind, reflecting on the nature of these waves and the thoughts that they bring to mind.


The lyrics also suggest a sense of nostalgia or longing for a past time or place. The singer refers to "distant looks from your face" that take him to "another place in time where we were more refined." This could suggest a romantic relationship or a memory from the singer's past that he is recalling through the power of music. The final line of the lyrics is somewhat enigmatic: "Night drains just awake in the end it's always faking on your thoughts were meant to draw." This could suggest a sense of disillusionment or a realization that our thoughts and desires are often illusory or fleeting, and that we should not become too attached to them.


Line by Line Meaning

Common waves pouring through carry me four and two at a time where all my thoughts are from
I feel overwhelmed by the everyday mundanity of life, as if I'm being carried away by an endless stream of repetitive, uninspiring experiences that all blend together. It's hard to keep track of my own thoughts and feelings amidst all the noise.


Common haze slowly looms piercing through like soul for ? just contemplated signs
Sometimes, in the midst of all the chaos, I catch glimpses of something deeper - a spiritual realm beyond the surface-level reality that we can see and touch. It's hard to fully grasp this otherworldly energy, but it feels like it's always there, waiting to be discovered.


Distant looks from your face take me to another place in time where we were more refined
When I look at you from afar, I'm transported back to a time when things were simpler and more pure. There's a sense of nostalgia that washes over me, reminding me of a different era and a different version of myself.


Night drains just awake in the end it's always faking on your thoughts were meant to draw
As the night wears on, I feel drained and exhausted, but unable to escape the internal chatter that plagues me. It's as if my own mind is working against me, sabotaging my attempts to find peace or meaning. I can't help but wonder - are these thoughts even worth my attention?

One of the first concerts I attended with my two buds as soon as I turned 18, 2009/2010 were much simpler times already. :(
