Lucid
Youth Fountain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now as i near defeat,
I've got to let this be.
I couldn't see that light you said you saw in me.
Like a child so young unaware of what's going on.
Unable to grasp where I belong.
These times I spend asking where did I go wrong?

Here I stand, helpless again. Caught up on words I wished I said. I gave up, I'm giving in.

I'll never get back what i once had then.

I'll resent all of the things that drag me down. Will next time be more lucid? More lucid than now.
Please help me out somehow.
Don't drag me down.
Please help me out somehow.
More lucid than now.
All they gave me was second hand,
writing letters of things I can't comprehend.

Here I stand,
Helpless again.

Awesome track. I like how their style is kind of just a one-shot burst, sometimes. They don’t always make a formulaic “song”, like verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, end. This has its own unique, one-off structure. Can’t wait to see how their 2nd LP will shape up a few years from now. This first LP is very strong. Well-done guys! Loving it!

You should check out captain we're sinking - the future is cancelled. If you like that kind of thing you will probably enjoy that album. Anina, we will miss you is incredible.
