Spaced Out
@Kid_Ink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Hook:]
Spaced out, you know what I stay about
Let go out of your mind now, baby you ain’t never been this high
Spaced out, you know what I stay about
Let me take you far, got you sitting with the stars

[Verse:]
Spaced out, tools up, haters down
Baby slow it up like the H-town
Be a long night if you stay around
I hope you ready for it
Feelin’ so high, need ready for it
Take a hit, feel the kick like Nike force
And I’m on, faded in
Turn up, don’t fade me out
We in this bitch like Indians
Just made it rain, tell ‘em fuck a drought
I’ve been doing this shit since high school
Smokin’ on good, clubs in Hollywood
Yeah it’s okay, gonna have your turn
La my city, ’bout to do it big
Worm on a motherfucker
Friday, every day, my way
Tell Simon to do what I say
You got five, roll up that bombay
And we gone, outta here
Smokin’ on them cobwebs
Top floor of the building like Spiderman
Ain’t nobody higher than

[Hook:]

[Verse 2:]
On a whol ‘nother planet
Feelin’ so fly, niggas can’t stand it
Know I stay lit with a scented candle
Can’t focus, better fix your cameras
Going on a ride that you can’t handle
Better grab your handle, baby I’m a handful
Cottonmouth got me spittin’ like a camel
Wild animal, ain’t no telling
What I’m gonna land on
Watch out, I’m stoned sitting in a glass house
With that loud, and you quiet as a mouse
Bart Simpson nigga sittin’ on the couch
Clowns, start the show
Just break it down…
Call me quick draw, can’t see the colors
And nobody above us





[Hook x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Spaced Out" by Kid Ink is about getting high and transcending reality. The hook "Spaced out, you know what I stay about, let go out of your mind now, baby you ain’t never been this high" revolves around the idea of reaching a different state of being, leaving reality behind, and experiencing a higher level of existence. This idea is illustrated through metaphors like "sitting with the stars", "on a whole 'nother planet", and "top floor of the building like Spiderman". It's clear that the singer is experienced in this, as he "been doing this shit since high school" and knows how to navigate this alternate reality.


The first verse sets the scene for the experience: "tools up, haters down, baby slow it up like the H-town, be a long night if you stay around". The second half of the verse emphasizes on the feelings of being high and how it makes the singer feel: "feelin' so high, need ready for it, take a hit, feel the kick like Nike force, and I'm on, faded in". The second verse builds on the idea of being high as a transcendent state, saying "niggas can't stand it, Know I stay lit with a scented candle, Can’t focus, better fix your cameras, Going on a ride that you can’t handle". The singer is embracing this part of himself, even as it makes him a "wild animal".
