The song "Disciples" by Tame Impala speaks to the difficulty of navigating through life while trying to stay true to yourself without losing sight of what is important. It speaks to the feeling of wanting to be close to someone while being aware of the negative influence they may have over you if you stay too close. The narrator speaks of reminiscing of a time where things were easier and simpler, and of wanting to talk to the person and tell them his feelings. However, he also acknowledges that it is impossible since the person has moved on and changed. In the end, he resigns himself to not be able to truly tell them how he feels.
