Clarity
Winslow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Much thought invades the night
Familiar all the same
Lost words without a rhyme
A face without a name

A puzzle that’s lost in time
Can’t figure it out won’t even begin
Not a question or wondering why
Where is my place, who am I?

It seems to me it's getting clearer all the time

When I’m not lost inside my mind
I start feelin so clearly
It’s finally mine
I’ve waited far too long to find this piece of mind

Moments so fleeting
Seconds too short to embrace
So many lessons learned
Suddenly gone without a trace

It seems to me it's getting clearer all the time

When I’m not lost inside my mind
I start feelin so clearly
It’s finally mine
I’ve waited far too long to find

Everyday that I stay true
Destiny seems to find a way
Clarity changes, rearranges everything

Everyday that I stay true
Destiny seems to find a way
Clarity changes, rearranges everything

When I’m not lost inside my mind
I am seeing so clearly




It’s finally mine
I’ve waited far too long to find this piece of mind

Overall Meaning

The song "Clarity" by Winslow talks about the struggles of finding oneself and achieving inner peace. The opening lines, "Much thought invades the night, familiar all the same, lost words without a rhyme, a face without a name," set the tone for the meaning of the song. The verse talks about being lost and confused, unable to figure things out, and feeling like a puzzle that's lost in time. There's a search for identity, for a sense of belonging, as the lyric, "where is my place, who am I?" suggests.


In the chorus, the lyrics repeat that the fog is lifting, and clarity is coming. The repetition of the idea that clarity is getting clearer serves to reinforce the sense of peace at the song's core. The moments are fleeting, and lessons are learned quickly and then forgotten, but it is vital to stay true to oneself.


The song's overall message is about seeking clarity in life, not getting lost in one's thoughts and wasting precious time. It hopes for a moment when everything becomes crystal clear, and at that point, all the pain and waiting will be worth it.
