"Lucid" lyrics

"Lucid"

Linoleum
PVC magnolia
I speak to someone else
Standing where they stood before
In some ways it's always strange
Nothing is quite the same
In this reality
Everybody looks like me

Lucid
I'll be okay
I'll dream awake
Lucid
I'll be okay
I'll dream awake

Lifetime payment plan
Walking to the superstore
Heavy paving slab
Ripples as I touch the floor
In some ways it's always strange
Nothing is quite the same
If the feeling's real
Why do I ever need to sleep?

How did I get here?
How did I get here?
How did I get here?
How did I get here?
How did I get

Lucid
I'll be okay
I'll dream awake
How did I get
Lucid
I'll be okay
I'll dream awake
I'll be okay
I'll dream awake
I'll be okay
I'll dream awake

Replying to a fan question on X platform, what was his favourite quote on the new album, Louis Tomlinson answered with a lyrics from "Lucid", "I'll be OK, I'll dream awake." He also added elsewhere, "'Lucid'- a beautiful, slow ballad completely different from 'Lemonade'. For me, at least, it had this undeniable aura of being a solid piece, and I remember getting really excited when I wrote it. Songs like that are incredibly important to me. It's the kind of song I usually want to listen to myself. While it serves a completely different role than 'Lemonade,' I was happy to write it as a song that expresses the emotional depth of the album."
