Lucid
Tex Perkins' Dark Horses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you should sense my doubt
Did I burst your bubble
When I found you out
Can you hear me now
Because you're faded know
Don't know what if true
I'm Lucid
Do you know who you are
And what would make with scar
Did you give them my name
When you were feeling the strain
But you don't ask why
Just let it pass you by
There's nothing you could do
Cause I can see right through you
I'm Lucid
So you found your glory
But I have my doubts
And I know your story
And the part you left out
And you're faded now
Like a low white lie
Like the friends you choose
I can see right through you
I'm Lucid

If you know my trouble
If you understand the difficulties I'm facing
Then you should sense my doubt
Then it should be clear to you that I'm unsure
Did I burst your bubble
Did I disappoint you
When I found you out
When I discovered your true intentions
Can you hear me now
Can you listen to me at this moment
Because you're faded now
Because you're no longer significant or present
Don't know what if true
Uncertain of what is genuine
Cause I can see right through you
Because I can see past your facade
I'm Lucid
I'm awake and aware
Do you know who you are
Do you have a sense of self-identity
And what would make with scar
And what experiences would leave permanent marks
Did you give them my name
Did you mention me when talking about your troubles
When you were feeling the strain
When you were under stress or pressure
But you don't ask why
But you don't seek understanding
Just let it pass you by
Just let the moment go without reflecting on it
There's nothing you could do
There's no action you could take to change the situation
Cause I can see right through you
Because I can see your true nature
I'm Lucid
I'm alert and clear-headed
So you found your glory
So you achieved something great
But I have my doubts
But I'm uncertain about your motives
And I know your story
And I understand where you're coming from
And the part you left out
And the information you intentionally withheld
And you're faded now
And you're diminishing in importance
Like a low white lie
Like a barely perceptible falsehood
Like the friends you choose
Like the company you keep
I can see right through you
I can see your true intentions
I'm Lucid
I'm grounded and unclouded
