Tame Impala - New Person, Same Old Mistakes (Lyrics)

Tame Impala - New Person, Same Old Mistakes

I can just hear them now
"How could you let us down?"
But they don't know what I found
Or see it from this way 'round

Feeling it overtake
All that I used to hate
One by one, every trait
I tried, but it's way too late

All the signs I don't read
Two sides of me can't agree
Will I be in too deep?
Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person
(But you'll make the same old mistakes)
Well, I don't care, I'm in love
(Stop before it's too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you'll make the same old mistakes)
I finally know what it's like
(You don't have what it takes)
(Stop before it's too late)
(I know there's too much at stake)
(Making the same mistakes)
And I still don't know why it's happening
(Stop while it's not too late)
And I still don't know

Finally taking flight
I know you don't think it's right
I know that you think it's fake
Maybe fake's what I like

The point is, I have the right
Not thinking in black and white
I'm thinking it's worth a fight
Soon I'll be out of sight
Knowing it all this time
Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person
(But you'll make the same old mistakes)
Well, I don't care, I'm in love
(Stop before it's too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you'll make the same old mistakes)
So how do I know I've gone too far?
(You don't have what it takes)
(Stop before it's too late)

Man, I know that it's hard to digest
But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Man, I know that it's hard to digest
A realization is as good as a guess
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person
So how will I know that it's right?
In a new direction
So, how will I know I've gone too far?
(Stop thinking that the only option)
Feel like a brand new person
I finally know what it's like
(Stop thinking that the only option)
In a new direction
So how will I know I've gone too far?
(Stop thinking that the only option)
And I don't know how to describe
(Stop thinking that the only option)
So how will I know that it's right?

This isn't just a song this is a story

[alexrozsa]

This song is literally my life. I feel like I mess it up all the time, become a new person but still make the same mistakes. Letting everyone down unintentionally while chasing that little happiness and dopamine while I'm unable to leave the toxic people in my life.

[Bry_is_the_name]

The heart:"I DONT CARE IM IN LOVE"
the mind:"stop before it's to late"

[rozacroft]

This song represents me, I want to change myself and change my old habits, but I still make the same old mistakes... This song is really deep

[yitzhakmalul]

i find myself listening to 6 minutes of a song without even noticing.
only Tame Impala can do this.

[LA-hhuh]

This song takes my heart to whole other dimension

[narainsingh]

Thank you for having a minimalist background, the black background doesn't hurt my eyes at night.

[elevenpoisons]

Tame impala makes me feel so understood

[hoursofgaming]

This song perfectly describes what I went through with breaking up. Had a fun couple of months with a girl but we ended on good terms due to our differences, however, we go in the same class. And seeing her again had these “two sides of me” arguing back and forth constantly. “Talk to her, take her back” “leave her, you weren’t meant to be”. Two sides that ultimately made me self sabotage and ruin any chance of us actually being something again. Grown as a person, but yes, afraid to make the same old mistakes with a new one

[JohnnyFromVirginia]

This song has so many meanings for me for just the right occasions. It’s esoteric just enough to let this translate into so many avenues in life.

[sssrr]

This song is perfect for hypocriticals who are self aware.

[highforlilpeep]

i love how im not the only person tha feels like this song describes their life glad im not alone

[grm-ghst-]

My music is my therapy I lost my dad about 2 years ago now...😔😔

[shahanabegum]

I don't know, I fit with this song very well. I never cared for others, I always chased what I wanted. I didn't care about anything, nothing. I always become a new person, I change everytime, but I still make the same mistakes. But I still don't seem to care at all. This is literally me.

[michaelfreeman]

Man i love lyric videos I uzed to never understand why people watched them but damn it really helps me embrace the lyrics and with this song its like a story of my self and i love it

[SeasonalDeath]

This song literally sums up how I felt when I left my toxic friend group then when I made the mistake of going back to them

[ballz]

I finally found out why i love this song i feel it is talking to me

[Naiddou]

it like watching my self free falling between the clouds with happy tears in my eyes leaving things behind taking a leap of faith leaving my demons doubts and fears behind and learning to finally follow your own hearts because heart doesn't lie it's a long journey

[drakemount]

Man, I know that it's hard to digest But maybe you story ain't so different from the rest.
That shit hit deep.
I always though that I was different from the others, but in the end we all end up at the same messed up place, trying to become a new person.

[StillBillyD]

Brand New Person, Same Old Mistakes. Went to sober living for 2 years, but on the other side of it I still find myself letting the wrong people in, or hesitant to make the right decision every now and then. Still sober, but still have my old habits that come to haunt me.
