Lucidity
Tame Impala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know where you went but I don't know how you got there
I know where you went but I don't know how you got there
Silver tongue hill where you talk up what I' d play down
I would speak up but I wouldn't know what to say
To say
To say

Lucidity, come back to me
Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be
Oh it's hard to tell, it breaks down
There is a will, there is a way

Wondering around like spare time never knew it
I might suck fizzle or I might just float away

And we'll go running off tonight
High above, where we won't even need to recah the sky, my love
Oh there will be a change in the air, nobody will be anybody else

Lucidity, come back to me
Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be




Oh where we'll go, tip toe, tread boldly right down
To the lair, ah ah ah

Line by Line Meaning

I know where you went but I don't know how you got there
I am aware of your destination, but I'm uncertain of your course of action


Silver tongue hill where you talk up what I' d play down
You exaggerate your achievements compared to how I would present mine


I would speak up but I wouldn't know what to say
I'm hesitant to express myself because I lack the words to articulate my thoughts


Lucidity, come back to me
Clarity and rationality, please return to me


Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be
Help me regain my ability to perceive the world around me through all my senses


Oh it's hard to tell, it breaks down
It's difficult to discern what's happening, and everything seems to be falling apart


There is a will, there is a way
Despite the adversity, solutions and opportunities are possible if you have enough determination


Wondering around like spare time never knew it
Drifting aimlessly as if time has no value or purpose


I might suck fizzle or I might just float away
I could fail or disappear altogether


And we'll go running off tonight
We'll escape into the night and leave all our worries behind


High above, where we won't even need to recah the sky, my love
We'll soar to an elevated state of being where the sky is not out of reach


Oh there will be a change in the air, nobody will be anybody else
The atmosphere will transform, and everyone will retain their authenticity


Oh where we'll go, tip toe, tread boldly right down
We'll venture to unknown territories, cautious yet daring


To the lair, ah ah ah
To the hidden, mysterious place we aspire to find

I know where you went but I don't know how you got there
I know where you went but I don't know how you got there
Silver tongue hill where you talk up what I'd play down
I would speak up but I wouldn't know what to say

Lucidity, come back to me
Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be
Oh, it's hard to tell, it breaks down
There is a will, there is a way

Wondering around like spare time never knew it
I might suck fizzle or I might just float away

And we'll go running off tonight
High above, where we won't even need to reach the sky
My love, oh, there will be a change in the air
Nobody will be anybody else
Lucidity, come back to me
Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be
Oh, where we'll go, tiptoe
Tread boldly right down to the lair

Finally, a band with a drummer that makes full use of a 4 piece set. 

@digitalrandomart3049

not a band

@Alchamei

That's actually Kevin Parker, the frontman himself, playing the drums. He records everything in the studio on his own.

@NolanTrotterMusic

And not even at a recording studio, but a home studio
