Meditative album closer вЂњNew Person, Same Old MistakesвЂќ says it all. From the vulnerability displayed on вЂњYes IвЂ™m Changing,вЂќ which muses on growing older against unironic soft-rock motifs, to his interrogations of masculinity and romance on вЂњ'Cause IвЂ™m a Man,вЂќ Parker is still committed to airing intimate, almost diary-like sentiments. As lush as the production is (which you can hear in the joyous vocal layering and panning on вЂњThe MomentвЂќ), the increased scope of these songs is matched by the same rich emotional content, making it feel like Parker is sharing his most private moments. The bandвЂ™s trajectory changed over the course of a single track, which stretches out over nearly eight minutes and indulges in remix-style record-skipping and lengthy stretches without vocals.Д«etween the disco grooves, Parker still finds time for Tame ImpalaвЂ™s sonic signatures-floaty vocals, soul-searching lyrics, fleeting interludes. Even fans who had noticed ParkerвЂ™s increasing pop sensibilities across 2012вЂ™s Lonerism were somewhat taken aback by CurrentsвЂ™ bravura opening statement, вЂњLet It Happen,вЂќ an ambitious dance-floor epic that foregrounded glitter-bomb synths and alternately dipping and peaking rhythms.

Yet this third album saw him applying more painstaking control than ever before, not just playing and writing every single part but recording and mixing the entire thing as well. Parker had always made Tame Impala records as a solo endeavor, using a proper band primarily to realize songs in a live setting. That meant mostly sidelining guitars and ramping up the lead role of those synths. By the time Currents arrived in 2015, the Fremantle home-studio whiz had made his grandest leap yet, offering his particular take on outsized, club-ready pop. As I feel it was intended to.Tame Impala may have been forged in the familiar fires of guitar-driven psych-rock, but Kevin Parker began expanding that brief almost immediately, shifting from dank, distorted solos to widescreen, synth-swept fantasias. It really made me think if I am spending my time wisely. It's about a man who has been sucked into work and traveling and does not feel much purpose and he keeps dying/running out of time. A lot of my opinions are based off the music video which in my opinion goes hand in hand with the lyrics. I made an account just to post about this song because it spoke to me so deeply. The fifth stanza is a little unclear but it sounds like one is at a crossroads with their lover because they want them to understand but doesn't want to get them caught up in it as well. And if for whatever reason if you find a new life in a different 'place' and an apology in advance in case one doesn't return. Also feeling some slight dismay about letting close people down such as one's mother. If one dies 'ticker fails' he doesn't want anyone knowing that he was defeated upon his journey. The fourth stanza is finally going through with leaving and finding what it is one is looking for/what it is they need to feel complete. Our 'angst' that still hasn't been settled. I believe this has heavy relation with 'Currents' itself about the current within each one of us. And the whirlwind would be the friction caused by others criticizing one for going out of the normal societal pattern. The third stanza is about giving into wanting to pursue some true meaning in life. The others seeming shallow is like questioning why don't others feel this way? And then the alarm and morning arriving is like running out of time to sit and dwell it is now time to act. The ocean growing inside is the angst building up to go and do something outside the societal norm that is set for them. In the second stanza the running around represents one's every day life work bills rent etc. As they see everyone else carrying on their every day life as if it were meant to be. The voice saying 'Let it happen' is the pressure one feels by society to follow the rinse and repeat order. My InterpretationIn the first stanza the 'noise' I feel is a representation of one's deeper thoughts and goals. Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound (Why would I do it? And you wanna think that) (Take the next ticket to take the next train)

(They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid) (All the while thinking I might as well do it) (Try to get through it, try to bounce to it) (I will not vanish and you will not scare me) Why would I do it? And you wanna think that Take the next ticket to take the next train They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid Try to get through it, try to bounce to itДЄll the while thinking I might as well do it I will not vanish and you will not scare me It's gonna carry off all that isn't boundДЄnd when it happens, when it happens (I won't be holdin' on) I heard about a whirlwind that's comin' 'round 'Let it happen, let it happen (it's gonna feel so good) But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
