Songfacts®:

  • "Kindred" is on Tacoma Ballet, the fourth album by Lucid Nation. It got airplay across college radio stations in 2002-2003. Tamra Lucid of Lucid Nation told Songfacts that it's about:

    "What the constraints of conformity do to you. The anxiety of choosing to be yourself.

    When you conform but it doesn't lead to the life you want, you realize the sacrifice of giving up your self wasn't worth it. And all the darkness of frustrated life we contain seems to look back at us from people we fear as other, while most are really much more like us than not."
