This song is about waking up from a drunken one-night stand. The titular Anne has achieved lucidity from the night before, and shit’s gotten kind of weird now that she’s woken up in someone else’s bed.
[Verse 1]
And in the simplest of words, she knew about forgiveness
And in passing, something true cried out
As the wheel began to turn, there it loomed and burned
In the awkwardness at hand, I don't understand
[Chorus]
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne (ah)
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne (ah)
[Verse 2]
And when she woke up from the day before
No recollection of events which took place somewhere
Laughing only at the lines that now traced her eyes
Looking backwards through the glass, I think I missed the point
Man, I think I missed the point (the point)
[Chorus]
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne (ah)
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne (ah)
[Solo]
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Verse 3]
And in the simplest of words, she spoke the only answer
And in passing, something new cried out
As the wheels began to turn, there it loomed and burned
In the awkwardness at hand, now I understand
[Chorus]
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne (ah)
Lucid Anne, lucid Anne (ah)
Ah...
