Lucid

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sound of seas
Trouble me
I give into weariness
Half asleep
Struggling
Slowly
Until I can wake me up
Tell me that I'm ok
From the haze
Dripping in reflection
Suddenly you are here with me
Sweet and safe
Nothing else will matter anymore
Lucid
I see my body yet im
Dreaming
Im floating way above
Hold in hysteria
Fluid
The irony of it all
Dubious
Of the future i hold
Wake me
I dont wanna devolve
Days too deep
Crows or keys
Rabbits feet
Hold it close i need the luck
Eyes on me
Tingling
From the breeze
Peering at me from the dark
Tell you that i got something on my mind
Fooling you
Is all i do
Soon as you fall asleep
And make it here
Then you and i can be forever young
Tell me im a loon
When i want a little dosage
Let me fall in your arms
I aint gonna lose it
Like an old soul
Let me inch a little closer
Find my way back home
Way back home
The song Lucid by Slenderbodies is a deeply introspective piece that speaks to the complexities of the human experience. The lyrics speak to feeling worn out and half asleep, struggling until the listener can "wake me up." The imagery of "running feet," "sound of seas," and "trouble me" paint a picture of someone who is searching for something, perhaps escaping the pressures of life. The chorus of the song is a surreal moment in which the listener sees their own body as they float above it, dreaming, and holding in hysteria.
The lyrics of Lucid can be interpreted in many different ways, but ultimately, they suggest a longing for escape from the pressures of life. The lines "Days too deep, crows or keys, rabbits feet" suggest a world that is both mystical and menacing, in which luck is a necessary commodity. The listener's desire to "find my way back home" adds a melancholic note to the song, suggesting that this escape may be temporary or illusory. The overarching theme seems to be a desire for reassurance, both from the world and from the self.

Way back home
To where I truly belong
