Is This Power
The Field Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is no time to be sad
I know,cause I'm glad
This is no time to be scared
I know,cause you're near
This is no time to burn,
go out to sea
This is no time to drown,
just sink with me
This is no time to give everyone a reason for what I wanna do
I have a game for every season and it's calling to you
I push back all my struggles,
making space for the new
This is no tome to be sad
I know,cause I'm glad
This is no time to be scared
I know,cause you're here with me now
Falling into places I've never been before,




lifts me even higher,
breaks all the rules I know

I had this on at the cafe where I worked when it came out. A couple got their drinks and sat down and became increasingly agitated as it went on. They're staring daggers at me, like "Why doesn't it change?" Then the bridge section hits and she cracks a little smile. Like, yeah, that's actually pretty great.
At that time, I was working my way through engineering school. This album was magical-- I put in on repeat, go into a trance and a few hours later my homework was done.

From Daft Punk to Tame Impala: Let it happen one more time, this is power.
