This song was produced on a mellow, sunny afternoon. I was just getting into Tame Impala and wanted to go for that “weird, psychedelic, but cozy” vibe so I played around with the drum break you hear in the intro and this mellow, clean guitar. I brought Sera over to record, and we came up with this.
[Verse 1: Sera Selin]
Potions, potions
Cast your spell on me
Make me dream about
Who I wanna be
Take me, take me on a space odyssey
Mess with my reality
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in space
Out of this place
Feels like I'm flying, so I've just stopped trying
All these potions, these potions
[Verse 2]
These visions all in my brain
Everything feels like I'm in a haze
When did the day get so late
Wake me up from this daze
Daze...
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in space
Out of this place
Feels like I'm flying, so I've just stopped trying
All these potions, these potions
[Bridge]
I wake up, back in bed
The same day all over again
These fantasies all in my head
It's funny how quick we forget
[Break: Ionika]
1, 2, 3, go
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in space
Out of this place
Feels like I'm flying, so I've just stopped trying
All these potions, these potions
