I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch...
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head
Whoa-ohhhhh
WOW!...
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch
You're Out Of Touch...
The song "Out of Touch" by 7Seconds can be interpreted as a lamentation of one's dependence on someone else. The repeated chorus of "You're Out of Touch, I'm out of Time, but I'm out of my head when you're not around," presents the idea that the singer needs this person to function. The use of both "out of touch" and "out of time" serve as a confirmation of the disconnect between the singer's need and the other person's understanding. The declaration that the singer is "out of [their] head" emphasizes the hold that the other person has on them. The repetition of the chorus, especially the final lines, reinforces how deeply ingrained this dependence is.
The verses present a similar idea, with declarations of being at the mercy of the other person's schedule and whims. The lines "I'm out of time, I'm out of my mind, waiting for you, all of the time" expresses not only the extent of their dependence but the waiting and wondering that goes along with it. The "Whoa-ohhhhh" that is repeated before the final chorus might be interpreted as a sigh of resignation, signaling that the singer has accepted their dependence.
Overall, the song presents a poignant portrayal of the precariousness of dependency in relationships.
