Déjà Vu Lyrics
Light globes wash up all along the beach
And they light me up with, and they light me up with certainty
But you calculate coincidence, and circumstance and turbulence
Gotta see what it is, and it’s everything, and it’s endless
'Cos baby can’t see through all this matter and make up and déjà vu
Yeah we drift here alone, with nothing to do
Until one of us makes the other one come true
She wants to meet her fate, but travel by free will
But you can’t have both and you can’t stand still, still, still
I’ll be the luckiest man in the universe if cause and effect doesn’t get there first
But she keeps looking for patterns and the world just happens
'Cos baby can’t see through all this matter and make up and déjà vu
Yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do
Until one of us makes the other one come true
Yeah one of us makes the other one come true
Yeah 'cos baby can’t see through, through all this matter and make up and déjà vu
Yeah we drift here alone, we drift here alone
Yeah we drift here alone, we drift here alone
Yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do
Until one of us makes the other one come true
Yeah one of us makes the other one come true
She said these questions don’t answer like other questions do
So just let me be here with you
And they light me up with, and they light me up with certainty
But you calculate coincidence, and circumstance and turbulence
Gotta see what it is, and it’s everything, and it’s endless
Yeah we drift here alone, with nothing to do
Until one of us makes the other one come true
But you can’t have both and you can’t stand still, still, still
I’ll be the luckiest man in the universe if cause and effect doesn’t get there first
But she keeps looking for patterns and the world just happens
Yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do
Until one of us makes the other one come true
Yeah one of us makes the other one come true
Yeah we drift here alone, we drift here alone
Yeah we drift here alone, we drift here alone
Yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do
Until one of us makes the other one come true
Yeah one of us makes the other one come true
She said these questions don’t answer like other questions do
So just let me be here with you

This song seems to be about a girl, & she keeps trying to figure everything out. She needs to find reasons for every little thing, coincedence & 'deja vu'. She can't accept that things don't work in patterns, & that "the world just happens".
I think this song is about whether people believe in fate or if they make their own future. It says you can't have free will while meeting your fate. So you either do nothing and wait for fate to come along decide for yourself.
i love this song? only 2 comments?? come on ppl this rocks!!
Great song by an average band. Love the lyrics in this song. 'Yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do, Until one of us makes the other one come true'. Great stuff
dont know if its fair to call sfk an average band, i mean most of thier stuff is pretty innovative, with really great melodys. not to mention dempseys brilliant song writing, he speaks in a really eloquent language of metaphores similar to shakespeare's

Something for Kate are definately not a average band!!!
You have definately not been to one of their shows...
i saw them a few years back at a BDO and they were a little dissapointing but then i saw a paul dempsey solo show and it was awesome
I am a mad SFK fan, and I have to say this song is not one of their strong points... Maybe its just because all the dipshits I know that wouldn't appreaicate them like it. After this single was released heaps of mainstrmers bought their album...
the general meaning of this song is pretty clear but i always wonder what is meant by the first two lines. 'light globes wash up all along the beach, and they light me up with, and they light me up with certainty'. i think it's just a really abstract way to explain a lonely walk on the beach where you're thinking about stuff. you know in cartoons and stuff a light globe symolises an idea coming to someone? 'light globes wash up all along the beach' must just mean he's thinking while walking and ideas and theories are coming to him, and 'they light me up with certainty' must just mean he's more enlightened now because he's spending time thinking things through. anyway that's just my little ramble, does anyone agree?
Not so much for the lyrics, but that music...
Gives me chills.
this is a pretty good song which makes not much sense to me
