Imagination
Tilian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She told me, "Use your imagination, baby
Fight the temptation, maybe
Cool your frustration, we should take it slowly
Do yourself a favor, focus your behavior
If we′re gonna make it, we should take it slowly"

Fire, fire
She lit my sovereignty on fire
Body so elegant, it's not fair
Take half of everything, I don′t care
Been three weeks, wanna make you my missus
Best moves only get me your kisses
You, you and you if I had three wishes

Don't tell me, "Use your imagination, baby
Fight the temptation, maybe
Cool your frustration, we should take it slowly
Do yourself a favor, focus your behavior
If we're gonna make it, we should take it slowly"

I, I wanna know
How I can move you, move your soul
Oh, I, I wanna know
How I can make you lose control

Use your imagination
Fight the temptation
Cool your frustration, we should take it slowly
Do yourself a favor, focus your behavior
If we′re gonna make it, we should take it slowly

I wanna know
How I can move you, move your soul (Use your imagination)




Oh, I, I wanna know
How I can make you lose control (Use your imagination)

It’s like Tilian has just solved the equation of where vocals could go in a Polyphia track

@Teddy-pi4su

I mean So Strange already solved that in 2018

@carterbryantbanks

@Teddy really??

@cloudy4l989

@Carter Banks i heard it and thought tim was playing but wasnt sure if it was just me let autoplay go and ran into the gem

@steverambo7599

@Teddy its barely much, legit like 30 seconds of vocals lmao, this is a whole song

@Teddy-pi4su

@Ernesto Ramirez well yeah, but still. This song is just a 5 second guitar riff on a Loop with Tilian's singing. As much as I love him, and even if this is a cool song, that's not really what I'd want from a Polyphia song.
