Out There
88 Fingers Louie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's fucking weird out there tonight
The streets are crowded with no personality
To see a different side you can run but you can never hide from fate

Run out of time
Run out of time

The future's right before your eyes
So look inside. Run out of time
Your will is your protection
Somebody sleeps alone tonight
Ignore an offer because no one's trustworthy
You're riding high despite
Lack of emotion sets the tone for apathy

Think for yourself
Jaded moments
Idle hands
Making plans that soon fall through
Is this what indifference means to you?
Hey you

It's fucking weird out there tonight
They try to kill you with their curiosity




Is there a brighter side?
You'll never know unless you understand yourself

Overall Meaning

The song "Out There" by 88 Fingers Louie portrays the feelings of isolation, frustration, and confusion that one may experience in a chaotic modern world full of people who lack individuality. The lyrics suggest that despite trying to avoid the crowd by running away, the individual cannot escape their destiny. The future is right in front of them, and they must look within themselves to protect themselves. It warns against getting too close to people and to be weary of the people who offer "help" as they may not have good intentions.


The lyrics further suggest that the individual must think for themselves and not let others influence their decisions. There are moments in life where one may feel disenchanted, but being idle or putting off plans will not help, only make things worse. The song's title, "Out There" implies that there is something beyond what is immediately visible, but this can only be discovered by understanding oneself.

At a show in Vancouver back in the day, I was chatting with the singer of No Use For a Name. He told me they were playing a show with 88 Fingers the next day in Seattle. 88 Fingers broke up a little while before and I'd never seen them yet, so me and my friends were so stoked. We saw No Use with 88 fingers the next day in Seattle, where they played songs off this album, and we were in awe. The break down bass line in State was so dope. Man, the 90's were the shit.

Jake Walker

Saw them at rebellion about 5 years ago, they were class. Best half hour thrash punk set I've seen
