Temples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some say you might lose your mind
I'm keeping my head down now for the summer
I'm out of my mind let me pull the other
I'm gonna take that tiger outside for a ride
What a life!
What a life!
You'll never know what you might find
Over the sunset on the horizon
Maybe you dream but it tastes like poison
I'm gonna take that tiger outside for a ride
What a life!
What a life!
What a life!
What a life!
What a life!
What a life!
What a life!
What a life!
Someday you might find your hero
Some say you might lose your mind
Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo
Temples' song Prisms is a song that seems to celebrate life and all its possibilities. It speaks of the quest to find one's hero, while also acknowledging the possibility of losing control of one's mind. Despite this, the song encourages the listener to keep on chasing down the rainbow, to keep on dreaming, to keep on exploring the limitless possibilities of life. The repeated line "I'm gonna take that tiger outside for a ride" is a metaphor for seizing the moment, for taking risks, for living life to the full.
The song also acknowledges the possibility of disappointment and of things not being as they seem. Dreams can taste like poison, and heroes can disappoint. However, the song seems to suggest that it's the pursuit that matters, that the journey is worth it for its own sake. There is the sense that the singer is out of his mind, lost in the moment, but also fully alive and fully engaged with his surroundings.
Overall, Prisms is a song that celebrates life and its possibilities. It encourages the listener to take risks, to explore, to dream big, even if the road is uncertain and the heroes sometimes fall short.

From an ancient time he came
With prisms in our eyes, praying with the wise men
Happiness is free
It wanders in my mind, never to be blind and
When you know the time is right
To share your queries of the day
Destinations of the day
Often we're reminded, who will leave the blinded
To a point of view
Triangles of light, above us in the sky turn
Grey with your reflection
Fade into your queries of the day
Talking spirit in this time
The doubt you had in mind was never to be questioned
Like the signs of life
Never too deceiving, watch until the sky turns
Grey with your reflection
Fade into your queries of the day

I like the atmosphere that this song creates. It sounds like it came directly out of the sixties.

Saw them supporting the vaccines and was completely blown away! Sounded more guitar heavy live but I love the recorded versions too - you get all the subtleties and nuances of the songs. Can't wait to see them at reading when I can better appreciate them. LOVE IT!
