Focus
TKTTSM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fire in our cells burning
Pupils could be free from calamity
If we all took our gaze off of passing dreams
Focus on simple things
It's all imagination
The life that we give returning
Mirrors on the trees show mysteries
If we all take our gaze off of passing dreams
Focus on simple things
Transparent fascination
(Let go)
Let go of your 12 karat head trip
(Let go)
The rain longs for your attention
(Okay, let's play)
(Let's go)
I arrive the future
(Let's go)
The planets are eager
My, oh my, our visions coming clear
All the thoughts that were clouded goodbye
Vessels in the sea move the majesty
As we all take our gaze off of passing dreams
Focus on simple things
It's all imagination
Transparent fascination
It's all imagination
(Let go)
Focus on simple things
(The life that we give returning)
It's all imagination
(Let go)
Focus on simple things
(The fire in our cells burning)
It's all imagination
The lyrics of TKTTSM’s “Focus” are a celebration of simplicity and the power of the human imagination. The opening lines “Eye to eye we see the chemicals. The fire in our cells burning. Pupils could be free from calamity if we all took our gaze off of passing dreams” suggest that we are all made up of the same basic components and that we have the capability to change our perceptions if we focus on the present moment rather than constantly chasing after unfulfilling goals. The following lines “Focus on simple things, it's all imagination” reinforce this idea by suggesting that even the most mundane aspects of life can be transformed into something extraordinary with the right mindset.
The second verse continues the theme of simplicity and encourages us to appreciate the natural world around us. “Side by side we free the animals. The life that we give returning. Mirrors on the trees show mysteries if we all take our gaze off of passing dreams” highlights the importance of preserving the environment and finding wonder in the everyday beauty of nature. The chorus “Focus on simple things. Transparent fascination” encourages listeners to let go of their egos and embrace a childlike sense of wonder and curiosity, freeing themselves from the constraints of societal norms and expectations. The final verses “My, oh my, our visions coming clear. All the thoughts that were clouded goodbye. Vessels in the sea move the majesty as we all take our gaze off of passing dreams” suggest that by shifting our focus from external distractions to inner clarity, we can tap into a deeper sense of purpose and experience greater levels of fulfillment.
