I know where you went but
I don't know how you got
there, I know where you
went but I don't know how
you got there, Silver tongue
hill where you talk up what
I' d play down, I would
speak up but I wouldn't
know what to say.

Lucidity,come back to me,
put all five senses back to
where they're meant to be
Oh it's hard
to tell, it breaks down, there
is a will, there is a way

Wondering around like spare
time never knew it, I might
suck fizzle or I might just
float away

And we'll go running off
tonight, high above, where we
won't even need to recah the
sky, my love.
Oh there will be a change
in the air, nobody will be
anybody else.

Lucidity, come back to me,
put all five sense back to
whwere they're meant to be.
Oh where we'll go, tip toe,
tread boldly right down
to the lair

    General Comment:So when you take the word Lucidity as the dictionary defines it as, it means "Easily understood; intelligible", so he wants the ability to understand back. He wants his understanding of this girl back, and he describes how when he can understand her again they'll run off and be happy together.

    General Comment:Incredible how in 5 comments, 4 didn't even refer to the meaning of the song, and 1 only referred to the most obvious and futile meaning ("ooohhh maaaan let's get hiiiiggh" etc). This only shows how the world is rotten.

    In my interpretation, this song has no linear meaning. But it's certainly about not feeling quite lucid, but not necessarily from drugs. It's about not being sure of things. But also the beauty and freedom of that ( And we'll go running off\tonight, high above, where we\won't even need to reach the \sky, my love.) But what's really interesting is not these themes, which have been widely used in other lyrics, but the way Kevin writes it. Very original, very colorful.

    General Comment:Tame Impala is absolutely amazing. They are this generations psychadelic band. They sound exactly the same in live concert. i went to an MGMT concert and Tame Imapla opened for them, quite the combination! Anyways this song is absolutely amazing along with the band in general!!

    General Comment:very groovy track. Sets a nice vibe. Most of the lyrics are quite abstract "Silver tongue
    hill where you talk up what I' d play down" etc. The obvious interpretation is that he is peaking in a psychedelic experience and he wants to come down "lucidity come back to me." "I might
    suck fizzle or I might just float away" is a cool line. Man I want to hit the bong or the mushrooms every time I here this track, or even the whole album! :) I've trawled through their early stuff on utube and I don't think I've heard a bad track. long live tame impala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    General Comment:This is going to be the new single :D
    Also, the instrumental bit in the middle kind of reminds me of some of the music from The Mighty Boosh :)
