Past life


I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners
Which was standard for me
Thursday, 12:30, I got a pretty solid routine these days
I don't know, it just works for me
Anyway, I was leaving I was getting in my car
And I went to adjust the rearview mirror, but in its reflection
Just for a second, I saw a figure, started to trigger
Memories of what I had learned, stopped me in my tracks
Who was that? it was my lover, my lover, from a past life

From a past life (feel like I saw a ghost)
From a past life (so unexpected)
From a past life (I was transfixed)
From a past life

Well, somewhere between a lover and a friend
It was different back then
Surreal, poetic so I'd say, like a bizarre chick flick with a confusing end
But I shut it down, closed it off
The sounds and smells I made myself forget
A cheap solution to block out a friend, but it was real
It just feels like a past life

From a past life (crazy)
From a past life (it takes a lot to trip me out)
For the first time
In a long time

So I go about my day as normal
But I can't seem to pass it off as just a random event
It consumes me
I thought I was moving on but I guess I was just switching off
And now I see my life as the banal slog it instantly became
And I don't know if I can go on the same
But I don't wanna dig up old bones
I mean, I don't even know if she has the same phone number
Who knows? Maybe she does

From a past life
(I guess there's no harm in trying)
From a past life
(What's the worst that could happen?)
For the first time
In a long time
(I tried to say it but it never came out right)
Past life
From a past life (you're not a stranger if you're always on my mind)
For the first time (I know it's late, it just didn't feel right)
In a long time

Hello?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Tame Impala is the musical project of Australian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Kevin Parker. Born in Perth in 1986, Parker began his musical career in the early 2000s with the idea of creating a contemporary psychedelic sound that drew inspiration from music of the 1960s and 1970s. The name "Tame Impala" comes from an imaginary animal, a hybrid between a kangaroo and a hippopotamus, which Parker invented during his childhood. The project's debut album, *Innerspeaker*, was released in 2010 and was met with critical acclaim. The album introduced the public to Tame Impala's distinctive sound: a blend of psychedelia, alternative rock and synth-pop, characterized by melodic riffs, complex arrangements and introspective lyrics. Parker continued to release successful albums such as *Lonerism* (2012), *Currents* (2015) and *The Slow Rush* (2020). His albums have been awarded numerous accolades, including ARIA Music Awards and Grammy Award nominations. Tame Impala is considered one of the most influential bands in contemporary music; it has inspired a new generation of psychedelic artists and contributed to reviving the genre in the 2010s. Some of the group's most representative songs are "Elephant", "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards", "The Less I Know The Better" and "Borderline".
