New Person Same Old Mistakes
Tame Impala Lyrics
I can just hear them now
"How could you let us down?"
But they don't know what I found
Or see it from this way 'round
Feeling it overtake
All that I used to hate
One by one every trait
I tried but it's way too late
All the signs I don't read
Two sides of me can't agree
Going with what I always longed for
(Feel like a brand new person)
But you'll make the same old mistakes
(I don't care, I'm in love)
Stop before it's too late
(I know, feel like a brand new person)
But you'll make the same old mistakes
(I finally know what it's like)
You don't have what it takes
Stop before it's too late
(I know) There's too much at stake
Making the same mistakes
(And I still don't know why it's happening)
Stop while it's not too late
(And I still don't know)
Finally taking flight
I know you don't think it's right
I know that you think it's fake
Maybe fake's what I like
The point is, I have the right
Not thinking in black and white
I'm thinking it's worth the fight
Soon to be out of sight
Knowing it all this time
Going with what I always longed for
(Feel like a brand new person)
But you'll make the same old mistakes
(I don't care, I'm in love)
Stop before it's too late
(I know, feel like a brand new person)
But you'll make the same old mistakes
(I finally know what it's like)
You don't have what it takes
Stop before it's too late
Man, I know that it's hard to digest
But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
And I know that it's hard to digest
A realization is as good as a guess
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
Feel like a brand new person
So, how will I know that it's right?
In a new direction
So, how will I know I've gone too far?
(Stop thinking that the only option)
Feel like a brand new person
I finally know what it's like
(Stop thinking that the only option)
So how will I know I've gone too far?
(Stop thinking that the only option)
And I know it's hard to describe
(Stop thinking that the only option)
So how will I know that it's right?

On the final song of "Currents", the narrator admits that his metamorphosis should be read with caution – its biggest skeptic is the side of him he left behind.
The impulse to change and the fear of changing too much are at odds until the bridge, which suggests some synthesis: “This story ain’t so different from the rest.” Change and self-doubt are natural, and in the end the narrator is the same introspective person he was on "Innerspeaker" and "Lonerism".

It’s a fitting conclusion to an album that both describes personal transformation and embodies it musically, as a radical departure from Kevin Parker’s earlier work. Both fans and artist are forced to reconcile the past with the present, and the “realization” that one person can express different aspects of themselves at different times “is as good as it gets.”
This song was covered by Rihanna on her album "ANTI" under the title “Same Ol' Mistakes.”
This song was also used in teasers for FX’s show created by Donald Glover "Atlanta". Glover is also known as the rapper Childish Gambino.

Lyrics
I can just hear them now
How could you let us down?
But they don't know what I found
Or see it from this way around
Feeling it overtake
All that I used to hate
One by one, every trait
I tried but it's way too late
All the signs I don't read
Two sides of me can't agree
When I breathe in too deep?
Going with what I always longed for
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
Well, I don't care I'm in love
(Stop before it's too late, I know)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I finally know what is love
(You don't have what it takes)
(Stop before it's too late)
(I know there's too much at stake)
(Making the same mistakes)
And I still don't know why it's happening
(Stop while it's not too late)
And I still don't know
Finally taking flight
I know you don't think it's right
I know that you think it's fake
Maybe fake's what I like
The point is I have the right
No thinking in black and white
I'm thinking it's worth the fight
Soon to be out of sight
Moving it out this time
Going with what I always longed for
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
Well, I don't care I'm in love
(Stop before it's too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
So how do you know I've gone to far?
(You don't have what it takes)
(Stop before it's too late)
Man, I know that it's hard to digest
But maybe this story ain't so different from the rest
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
Man, I know that it's hard to digest
A realization is as good as a guess
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
Feel like a brand new person
So how will I know that it's right?

So how will I know I've gone too far?

And I know it's hard to describe

I am new to Tame Impala. Im 49, and my 15 year old daughter wanted to go to his concert for her 16th bday! This was the only thing she wanted, even though I asked her to ask for anything even to travel away. I looked him up and they were on tour. The concert was going to be in less than a week, near us! I surprised her with tickets on the Monday before the concert (Saturday)! She cried of happiness. I was so happy to see her happy! So before the concert I wanted to show her I knew about him and his songs, and I began to listen to his songs those 5 days before the concert. I got hypnotized by his music and this was the song that did it! During the concert as they were playing one of their last song, they played this one and my two daughters immediately shook my arm and screamed at me saying: “Mom your favorite song”! This was the most amazing concert I have ever been and seen! Now I am listening to his songs every day and crank the volume in my car every morning on my way to work! Love all their music!
