Let It Happen itemprop=offers
Tame Impala Lyrics

It's always around me, all this noise
There's always something going on around me, always something distracting me.

But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
But nothing is as loud as my internal voice telling me to let things happen.

"Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
"Just let things happen, it's going to be for the best and it's going to feel good."

All this running around
I'm constantly busy and always on the move.

Trying to cover my shadow
I'm trying to avoid my own problems and insecurities by staying busy.

An ocean growing inside
I feel like there's a huge, overwhelming emotion inside of me that's growing more and more over time.

All the others seem shallow
Everyone else's problems seem trivial compared to the depth and intensity of my own emotions.

Bearing down on my shoulders
The weight of all of these emotions is becoming too much for me to bear.

I can hear an alarm
I feel like something is seriously wrong and I need to take action.

Must be a warning
I need to heed this alarm and take action to change things before it's too late.

I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round
I've heard there's something big and life-changing on the horizon.

It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound
This event is going to sweep away anything that is not secure or rooted in reality.

And when it happens, when it happens (I'm gonna be holding on)
When this big event happens, I want to be ready for it and holding onto something secure.

So let it happen, let it happen
I need to let this big event happen and trust that it will take care of things for me.

I can't fight it much longer
I'm getting tired of running and avoiding things, and I know I need to face my problems soon.

Something's trying to get out
I'm feeling like there's something inside of me that needs to come out and be expressed.

And it's never been closer
This feeling of something wanting to come out is more intense than ever before.

If my ticker fails
If I fail or collapse under the weight of my emotions or problems.

Make up some other story
I want to avoid telling people the truth about why I failed or collapsed, so I'll make up a different explanation.

And if I never come back
If I completely break down or give up, and never come back from it.

Tell my mother I'm sorry
I want my family to know that I'm sorry for not being able to handle things and for potentially causing them pain.

I will not vanish and you will not scare me
I won't disappear or be defeated by my problems or emotions, no matter how scary they may be.

Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
I need to work my way through my problems and try to overcome them, even if it's difficult.

All the while thinking I might as well do it
I should just try to face my problems and try to make things better, because it's better than avoiding them.

They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
I see other people in love and happy, but I'm not foolish enough to think that that's the solution to my problems.

Take the next ticket to take the next train
I need to keep moving forward and keep trying to make progress, even if I'm not sure where I'm going.

Why would I do it? And you wanna think that
Some people might question why I keep moving forward when things are difficult, but they don't understand the depth of my problems and emotions.

Oh, maybe I was ready all along
Maybe I've always been capable of facing my problems and emotions, but I just didn't realize it yet.

Oh, maybe all I wanted was the sound
Maybe all I really needed was to express myself and be heard.

Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Maybe I've always had the strength and ability to face my problems and emotions, and I just need to realize it.
