Sign
A O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels Far away
Don't want to stay
And hear you say
I don't know why
I always try
I can't deny
This feeling inside
No not tonight
Although I fight
It's in my mind
All in my head
Held by a thread
Two worlds collide
The great divide
Don't ignore the signs
It's ok to lose yourself
Inside the lines
We all lose sometimes
But never give into the
Pain
And
The lies
Hold up
Give me time
I'ma need a minute
Got way too many thoughts
I ain't got no limit
Feeling in my prime
I don't miss
My spirit feeing broken
But I keep going
Power up
Awoken
Don't try to make sense
Of it all
It's been while since I've torn my walls
And you've been looking from a distance
Well I got something to show you
Cus I can't hold it in no more
Don't ignore the signs
It's ok to lose yourself
Inside the lines
We all lose sometimes
But never give into the
Pain
And
The lies
Don't ignore the signs
It's ok to lose yourself
Inside the lines
We all lose sometimes
But never give into the
Pain
And
The lies
I keep running from the signs
Catching me if you can
If you do I'll fight
I keep running from the signs
Catching me if you can
If you do I'll fight
I keep running from the signs
Catching me if you can
If you do I'll fight
I keep running from the signs
Catching me if you can
If you do I'll fight…

Line by Line Meaning
Looking at the world through my rear-view
Examining life events as if looking back on them in hindsight
Searching for an answer up high
Seeking a solution from a higher power or authority
But is it all wasted time?
Questioning if the effort put into finding answers is meaningful or not
Simulated automated breakthroughs
Advancements that appear to be groundbreaking, but are actually man-made and artificial
Everything appears to be fine
Everything looks good on the surface, despite underlying issues
Or are we all digitized?
Wondering if humanity is becoming increasingly reliant on technology
Everything is crumbling around me
The world is falling apart and life is in chaos
Feels like the ending of the times
Life seems to be drawing to a close, or at least an epoch is coming to an end
Or is it all just a sign?
Questioning if the troubles are indicating a significant change or a new beginning
Uh, I dozed off in my notebook
Daydreaming or preoccupied with one's own thoughts
Ever since, never woke up
Continuing to drift aimlessly through life while lost in thought
Hey, I've been traveling for lifetimes
Experiencing a sense of longevity, as if life has been going on for an eternity
Still I got many miles before it's over
Although it feels like life has been going on forever, there is still a long way to go
Yeah, I kept it hundred like I'm supposed to
Maintaining personal integrity and staying true to oneself
But everything in the world ain't kosher
The world can be corrupted, unfair, and immoral
See it's crazy when your friends turn to strangers
The pain of losing former friends, who no longer seem familiar
But then strangers running up like they know you
Meeting new people who, despite being strangers, have a strong connection
And the further away from reality I go
The more distant life seems
I can feel the truth getting closer
Despite living in a world of confusion, there's a desire for honesty and authenticity
But hey, it's a path that we all on
Acknowledging that everyone is walking through life, with their own unique path to follow
If you in the fast lane or the slow one
Regardless of the path taken, everyone has their own pace
And you might break down on the shoulder
Experiencing sudden, unexpected setbacks
You just gotta know who to call for the tow-truck
Having a support system or people to rely on in times of crises
Yeah, sometimes
Occasionally, life is confusing
Sometimes I wonder if what I'm seeing in front of me
Doubting the reality of life around oneself
Is even real
Questioning the authenticity of life's happenings
Yeah, go 'n roll up some of that killa
Getting high on drugs to escape from reality
We call this slasher smoking
Describing a particular type of drug they're smoking
Gone off those Michael Myers
Being extremely high and almost hallucinating
I can barely keep my lashes open
Struggling to stay awake
6 shots of the rum I'm done
Getting drunk and experiencing a feeling of extremity
Thinking about my partners death
Reflecting upon the passing of a dear friend
I'm angry, in a flash he was gone
Feeling immediate, intense negative emotions following a friend's death
Man how can that day not rearrange me
Expressing how traumatic experiences have the power to significantly alter a person's life path
All of my days, they cloudy
Being plagued by a sense of confusion and uncertainty in daily life
All of my nights, they rowdy
Having disruptive, chaotic nights caused by inner turmoil
He told me ''Tre keep suckers in your rear view
A friend warned him to be careful of people who might not have his best interests in mind
If so I'm smashing proudly
Being confident and assertive in navigating through life
Is it all in my head?
Questioning if the confusion and turmoil in life is merely imagined
Am I just wasting time?
Feeling like time and effort is being spent on meaningless pursuits
All of my rear-view mirror
Being preoccupied with the past and analyzing life experiences
Looking for answers 'bout to lose my mind
Desperately seeking solutions to life's problems
They say you only get one life time
Describing a common belief that life is short and precious
Then it's gone in a blink of an eye
Life can pass by very quickly
Or is it all just in my mind?
Wondering if life is only a state of mind, constituted by one's perceptions and thoughts
I saw the lights dancing up so high
Experiencing a sense of awe and wonder at celestial phenomena
I wonder is it really a sign?
Questioning if the phenomena being witnessed is meaningful or significant
Or just imagination, imagination
Considering the possibility that the phenomena could be imaginary
As golden rivers flooded off the sky
Observing mesmerizing scenery of golden skies and rivers
Pouring from the sands of time
Describing the passage of time as an unstoppable force
Congratulations, we finally made it
Feeling successful or accomplished after overcoming difficulties

Wow! I love this video so much! I study ASL at least 10 minutes a day, often relying on your videos and this one is now going right in my favorites to watch very regularly! While I do very much enjoy the other videos and will keep watching them, this kind of speed practice is ideal for where I'm at in my learning. Thanks for this! Looking forward to more in this series.

I’ve been watching your videos for two weeks.
Today a deaf patient came in.
I was able to communicate with her.
She was very surprised and very happy to see that I knew how to sign.
I was nervous and excited myself.
My first ASL conversation went very well.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share them.
✌🏽❤️🙂💪🏽🙏🏽

Thank you so much for these videos! I have a coworker who's deaf and can't speak, so I started learning sign language to communicate with him better.
