After musically meandering through his college years unsure of where to go with his sound, Hambrick found himself 2 years out of school thinking that he should be somewhere by now... and maybe he should. Regrets of time ill-invested during those college years washed over him in 2009 as he began working on new material. That work rarely yielded anything but frustration as he came to the realization that his busyness and social ADD had left him musically empty-handed after a period of life where many artists begin to discover themselves. He found himself at a disadvantage if indeed he wanted to play/write music with any reasonable level of excellence. He was now Fighting From the Ground. Calling on his lyrical prowess and smooth vocal, this album is Adam starting over. No self-important groanings in this song cycle, just catchy melodies, honest words, and a great cast of accompanying players. Available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, and other online retailers.

Looking Out For Me
Adam Hambrick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a hard line
There's a cold truth
That mistakes in time
Come back on you

Yeah, you always reap what you plan in the dirt
At least that's the way in the world's supposed to work

So, why when I deserve thunder
Would I get to see the sunshine?
And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
I'm like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads
Ending up where I'm supposed to be
And I'm starting to think
I'm not only the one looking out for me

And so it feels wrong
But that just makes me see
It's got more to do with you
Then it does with me
As I come face to face with love I didn't name
I see that's the way that love is supposed to work

So, why when I deserve thunder
Would I get to see the sunshine?
And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
I'm like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads
Ending up where I'm supposed to be
And I'm starting to think
I'm not only the one looking out for me (oh-oh-oh)
Looking out for me (oh-oh-oh)
Looking out (oh-oh-oh)

Yeah, why when I deserve thunder
Would I get to see the sunshine?
And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
I'm like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads
Ending up where I'm supposed to be
I'm starting to think
I'm starting to think
I'm starting to think
I'm not only the one looking out for me (oh-oh-oh)
Looking out for me (hey, oh-oh-oh)
Looking out for me (oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adam Hambrick's song "Looking Out For Me" are about the ups and downs of life and how sometimes, we don't get what we deserve. The first verse talks about the concept of karma and how mistakes we make in the past can come back to haunt us. The singer then questions why he sometimes gets good things even when he doesn't deserve them - "Why when I deserve thunder, would I get to see the sunshine?" The chorus continues with this theme of life's unpredictability and how we often end up where we're supposed to be even if we stumble down the wrong roads.

The second verse shifts focus to the concept of love and how it works in mysterious ways. The singer notes that sometimes, love just happens and it's not something we can control or name. The chorus repeats, once again questioning why good things happen to us even when we don't deserve them, and ends with the realization that maybe we're not alone in looking out for ourselves.

Overall, "Looking Out For Me" is a song about acceptance and finding comfort in life's uncertainties. It reminds us that sometimes, things just happen and we have to trust that we're on the right path even if we don't understand why.

Line by Line Meaning

There's a hard line
There is a definite boundary

There's a cold truth
The truth can be harsh and unyielding

That mistakes in time
Errors made in the past

Come back on you
Will have consequences in the future

Yeah, you always reap what you plan in the dirt
Your actions have consequences and you must live with them

At least that's the way in the world's supposed to work
This is how things are meant to operate

So, why when I deserve thunder
In times of struggle

Would I get to see the sunshine?
Why am I being rewarded instead of punished?

And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
Why do I receive blessings during times of difficulty?

I'm like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads
I am lost and without direction

Ending up where I'm supposed to be
But somehow still finding my way to where I need to be

And I'm starting to think
I am beginning to realize

I'm not only the one looking out for me
That there are other forces at work in my life

And so it feels wrong
It doesn't make sense to me

But that just makes me see
But it enlightens me

It's got more to do with you
That it isn't just about me

Then it does with me
That there are other people and factors at play

As I come face to face with love I didn't name
When unexpected love enters my life

I see that's the way that love is supposed to work
I understand that love is not always planned or controlled

Looking out for me
Making sure I am taken care of

Lyrics

There’s a hard line
There’s a cold truth
That mistakes in time
Come back on you

Yeah, you always reap what you plan in the dirt
At least that's the way in the world’s supposed to work

So, why when I deserve thunder, would I get to see the sunshine?
And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
I’m like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads ending up where I'm supposed to be
And I’m starting to think
I'm not only the one looking out for me

And so it feels wrong
And that just makes me see
It's got more to do with you
Then it does with me
As I come face to face with love I didn’t name
I see that’s the way that love is supposed to work

So, why when I deserve thunder, would I get to see the sunshine?
And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
I’m like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads ending up where I'm supposed to be
And I’m starting to think
I'm not only the one looking out for me (Oh-oh-oh)
Looking out for me (Oh-oh-oh)
Looking out (Oh-oh-oh)

Yeah, why when I deserve thunder, would I get to see the sunshine?
And why when I'm desert dry, would I get the rain?
I’m like a blind man stumbling down wrong roads ending up where I'm supposed to be
And I’m starting to think
I’m starting to think
I’m starting to think
I'm not only the one looking out for me (Oh-oh-oh)
Looking out for me (Hey, Oh-oh-oh)
Looking out for me (Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
