Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something on these pages
Shit they'll say I'm blessed
Let me tell em' fables
Something out my head
Sit while I create this
Been searching for the silence
In all the wrong places
Wake in the wrong phases
Think that I'm in love
Coldest winter bout to face this
At the function with my friends
Just tryna' juggle all of my dreams
They think it's all the same
Yet I struggle just being me
Yeah shit
Let me just write this one song
Shit
Imma' catch you guys in the morn
Shit
Let me just write this one song
Shit
I've been spending all these nights wrong
I wish I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
Stay the way up out of my phone
God put me in this zone
Been fiendin' off this energy
So long I'm losing control
I can taste the other side
And I've never been this close
Don't think that I'm a prophet
But pretty sure God chose
Yeah shit
Let me just write this one song
Shit
Imma' catch you guys in the morn
Shit
Let me just write this one song
Shit
Find my blood righting my wrongs
The lyrics of high on you.'s song "Lucid" explores the artist's innermost thoughts as he struggles with his identity and purpose. The opening lines suggest that the musician has something on his chest that he needs to share, but he's not sure how people will react to it. He writes that people may say he is blessed, but he prefers to tell them fables, implying that he wants to tell his own story in his own way, rather than let others define him. The artist then talks about his creative process, describing how he has been searching for the silence in all the wrong places, and how he is struggling to find his place in the world among his friends and his dreams.
As the lyrics progress, the artist talks about waking up in the wrong phases, probably refering to facing depression, and feeling like he's in love while simultaneously facing the coldest winter, which might symbolize the struggle or depression that he is feeling. He also talks about wishing he knew how to handle his emotions or how to deal with his struggle in identity crisis. He then writes that he wishes people would stay out of his phone because he is in a creative zone and he has been feeding off this energy for so long that he's losing control of himself. He even writes that he can taste the other side, probably meaning a new stage in his artistic career or an end to his struggle, and he's never been this close. He also mentions that he's not claiming to be a prophet but feels that God has chosen him somehow.
In the final lines, he reiterates that he's going to write one last song before signing off for the night. It seems like writing has taken a significant toll on his life since he has been spending all the nights wrong, probably struggling with finding inspiration and dealing with his emotions. The artist then writes that he sees his blood as a sign of his past mistakes, trying to make things right going forward.
