Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
My word for dark rhymes
with your word for light and
it's not quite as pretty
as the pictures you painted
but those were just afterthoughts
And all new thieves are after us
I think they're after our heads
Dear lucid, my time is right to...
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
Now bombs light the sky like
Our fireworks just like
The ones that ignited
the first time our eyes met
But this time it's over wars
Your payback, you're wanting more
is gonna make this all over for us
Dear Lucid, your time is right...
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
For me
Dear Lucid, our time is right now
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
Who will fix this impossibility
When it's crushing your throat?
Will you fight for your agenda
or will you fight for air?
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
So we could dance away
where the bullets fly
I know they look so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
For me
Dear Lucid
with your word for light and
it's not quite as pretty
as the pictures you painted
but those were just afterthoughts
And all new thieves are after us
I think they're after our heads
Dear lucid, my time is right to...
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
Now bombs light the sky like
Our fireworks just like
The ones that ignited
the first time our eyes met
But this time it's over wars
Your payback, you're wanting more
is gonna make this all over for us
Dear Lucid, your time is right...
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
For me
Dear Lucid, our time is right now
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
Who will fix this impossibility
When it's crushing your throat?
Will you fight for your agenda
or will you fight for air?
Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
So we could dance away
where the bullets fly
I know they look so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face
For me
Dear Lucid

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Good song, not so sure about the lyrics YET since the album isnt released =]
Who's Lucid?
lu·cid –adjective
i believe that Lucid is a womans name, like 'Blessed' from the first album, so-on-and-so-forth.
First off this is my favorite Evans Blue song now. I love it. I think this song is about is about breaking up,
"Now both at the sky like Are fireworks just like The ones that ignited The first time our eyes met But this time it's over wars Your payback, you're wanting more Is gonna make this all over for us"
But everytime the end is in sight and they are fighting,
"Dance away, oh where the bullets fly You know they come so close"
They realise they really do love each other and it makes the guy realise just how lovely she is,
"Oh, but they put something in the air tonight Just to light your face"
I know it's probally way off, but that's what I think.
some minor corrections from the booklet: 1st verse: "But those were just afterthoughts, and all new thieves are after us"
The chorus is: "Dance away while the bullets fly... I'll bet they put something in the air tonight"
Start of the 2nd verse: "Now bombs light the sky like, our fireworks just like..." (which is the start of my favorite line in the song)
The backing part in the third verse: "Who will fix this impossibility, when it's crushing your throat?"
Yeah, I'd agree with Markie that it's about a breakup. A really messy breakup, at that.
That is my favorite line too, it sounds so...any way I put it is understated. Yes most definitely a break-up, most songs are. I don't think Theory of a Dead Man has a single one focused on anything else. Not that I'm complaining, they're an amazing band, just a little one-tracked.

Honestly, I don't see it as a breakup. Rather a relationship that pretty much everyone, but the couple, doesn't think highly of.
In the first set, he covers that even they don't have it clearly hashed out what their relationship is about or for. But even though everyone is gunning for them to break up, and the bullets (gossip? rumors?) fly, he begins to see her for who she is and while their relationship is gonna end... rather badly, at that... he finally has a clear idea of what he wants out of a relationship.
He's found that lucid moment.
