In And Out Of Phase
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spent my last dollar on a bottle of whiskey
And she still doesn't even miss me
Temporary fixes for permanent pain
Since the last time she kissed me

Smoke a cigarette to pass the time
Come watch my mental health swiftly decline
Can't get a grip on reality
Feels like I'm losing my mind

I want to cry
But I'm fresh out of rain
I want to die
Oh, I'm going out in flames
I'm going out in flames
I'll just keep numbing the pain

She should probably move somewhere far
With more clouds and rain
So when she wakes up every fucking morning
She can visualize my pain

I think Ima move somewhere far
With less clouds and rain
So I can Control all my fucking demons
And stabilize my brain

I want to cry
But I'm fresh out of rain
I want to die
Oh, I'm going out in flames
I'm going out in flames
I'll just keep numbing the pain

I want to cry
But I'm fresh out of rain
I want to die
Oh, I'm going out in flames




I'm going out in flames
I'll just keep numbing the pain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song "In And Out Of Phase" depict a person who is struggling to cope with the pain and loneliness caused by a broken relationship. The singer has spent his last dollar on a bottle of whiskey, hoping to find some temporary relief from his permanent pain. However, even after getting drunk, he realizes that his ex-partner still doesn't miss him. The pain of rejection and heartbreak weighs heavily on him, leaving him with nothing but destructive coping mechanisms like smoking cigarettes.


The singer is unable to get a grip on reality and feels like he's losing his mind. He finds no solace in crying or seeking emotional release, as he is "fresh out of rain." Instead, he decides to numb his pain with alcohol and other distractions, resigned to going out in flames. He wishes his ex-partner would move somewhere far, so that she can see the pain she has caused him, while he plans to move somewhere with fewer clouds and rain, hoping to gain some control over the demons tormenting him.


These lyrics offer a poignant glimpse into the mental and emotional anguish of a person trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship. The song acknowledges the complexity of pain and grief, highlighting how it can be challenging to find healthy ways to cope with these emotions.
