Tame Impala’s ““Instant Destiny” Lyrics Meaning

“Instant Destiny” is Tame Impala’s version of a marriage song. More specifically, there is enough general evidence available to conclude that this track is in celebration of Kevin Parker’s marriage to a lady named Sophie Lawrence in February of 2019. And it can be said that the primary sentiment being relayed is tantamount to one where the singer realizes he is taking a big risk by ‘doing something crazy’ like marriage.

Or more to the actual point is him acknowledging that a step this monumental is bringing forth an “instant destiny”. In other words, it’s like the future is now, as in this event not only immediately defining his life but that of his spouse as well. That’s basically another way of saying that Kevin recognizes this this decision will alter his life from henceforth. 

So even though this song definitely has a strong philosophical slant, once again you can say that from Parker’s personal perspective this would be his way of dropping the ultimate love song. For not only is he expressing his feelings for his significant other, but he is also acknowledging that her presence will permanently influence all aspects of his life.
