Let It Happen
by Tame Impala
It's always around me, all this noise
But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen (it's gonna feel so good)
Just let it happen, let it happen"
All this running around
Trying to cover my shadow
A notion growing inside
Now all the others seem shallow
All this running around
Bearing down on my shoulders
I can hear an alarm
Must be morning
I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound
And when it happens, when it happens (I won't be holding on)
So let it happen, let it happen
All this running around
I can't fight it much longer
Something's trying to get out
And it's never been closer
If my ticker fails
Make up some other story
But if I never come back
Tell my mother I'm sorry
I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that
(I will not vanish and you will not scare me)
(Try to get through it, try to bounce to it)
(All the while thinking I might as well do it)
(They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid)
(Take the next ticket to take the next train)
(Why would I do it? And you wanna think that)
(I will not vanish and you will not scare me)
(Try to get through it, try to bounce to it)
(All the while thinking I might as well do it)
(They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid)
(Take the next ticket to take the next train)
(Why would I do it? And you wanna think that)
Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Oh, baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along

Stop trying to control things. Sit with the uncomfortable emotions. Thread your intentions through the needle's eye of love. Feel the fear completely. Let your body give into it. This is the only way to integrate traumatic experience into your consciousness and stop the suffering. The suffering keeps you in place, the pain keeps us moving forward. Let it happen.

this sounds like the kind of song you hear in a dream, then you wake up and can't remember...

Great description. I swear I don't even remember when I first heard it because it just always sounded familiar and I had different people playing it and kept forgetting to ask the title but I eventually accidentally found it.
