Count Me Out
Akashic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll give a chance to you
All the desillusions
Brought me down to earth
Don't push your luck now
I'm looking to your eyes
Truth will guide us all
Try to remember
Please, don't let me down
Don't push your luck now
I'm looking to your eyes
Something is warning me to step out
Where is the sign you'll never disappoint me?
Count me out!
Cut it out!
Trust is the only thing
We can share as one
Tracing horizons
Giving golden chances
Don't push your luck now
I'm looking to your eyes
Something is warning me to step out
Where is the sign you'll never disappoint me?
Doors are waiting here
To be opened at any moment
This is the time to choose
There is no time to waste or to loose
Who knows, who knows when our turn is?
Trust is the only thing
We can share as one
Tracing horizons
Giving golden chances
Don't push your luck now
I'm looking to your eyes
Don't strike me down friend
Cause I'm on your side!
The lyrics of Akashic's song "Count Me Out" convey a message of caution and skepticism towards a relationship, or possibly any kind of commitment. The singer acknowledges the potential for disappointment and disillusionment, having been brought down to earth by past experiences. Despite this, there is still a willingness to give the other person a chance and to put trust in the connection they share, but only if they prove themselves trustworthy. The refrain of "count me out" and "cut it out" indicates that the singer is not willing to blindly commit without assurance.
The verses continue to ruminate on the importance of trust and the risks inherent in relationships. The singer is wary of being let down and is attuned to warning signs. However, there is also a sense of hopefulness in the idea of tracing horizons and giving chances, indicating a desire for growth and exploration. The final plea to not strike the singer down reminds the other person of their shared goals and interests, and establishes a sense of solidarity between them.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex and nuanced understanding of the difficulties surrounding relationships, and encourage both caution and hope in equal measure.
