Out Of Our Minds
Auf Der Maur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah ah (doo doo)
If you're listening
You're a dreamer
So come in
If there's a fire
Are you willing,
And able,
To set the stakes higher?
This time,
To pass it on,
Come sit by my fire
Ah ah (doo doo)
(Come sit by my fire)
Ah ah (doo doo)
(Come sit by my fire)
Travel out of our minds,
And into our hearts
Standing by
Travel out of our minds,
And into our hearts
Our hearts've been standing by for so long
Yes you're listening
You're a dreamer
So come in
Cause we have the tiny scales to swim
Travel out of our minds,
And into our hearts
Standing by
Travel out of our minds,
And into our hearts
Our hearts've been standing by for so long
So long
Where has the love gone
In our behavior
Where has the light gone
In those faces
Where has the love gone
In our behavior
Where has the light gone
In those faces
Ah ah (doo doo)
Ah ah (doo doo)
If you're listening
You're a dreamer
Come sit by my fire
If you're listening
You're a dreamer
Come sit by my fire
Travel out of our minds,
And into our hearts
Our hearts've been standing by
Travel out of our minds,
And into our hearts
Our hearts've been standing by
For so long
So long
The lyrics to Auf Der Maur's song "Out of Our Minds" suggest a desire to connect and find meaning beyond surface-level existence. As the song begins, it welcomes the listener as a fellow dreamer, inviting them to join in for a journey of self-discovery. The call to action begins in the second verse, asking if the listener is willing and able to pursue their desires to a deeper level. The repetition of the phrase "come sit by my fire" signifies a desire for intimacy and warmth, metaphorically representing a setting for shared vulnerability and exploration.
The middle section of the song shifts into a chorus of sorts, with the repetition of the phrase "travel out of our minds, and into our hearts." This line hints at a desire to transcend rational thought and logical decision-making, and instead focus on emotional connections to others and the world around us. The final section of the song repeats familiar themes, but with added urgency. The repeated question of "where has the love gone" reflects a recognition of the disconnect and chaos prevalent in society today. The invitation to join in at the end is an acknowledgement that the journey towards deeper understanding is ongoing and requires collective effort.

Refrain
If you're listening
If you're paying attention
You're a dreamer
You have a imaginative mind
So come in
Join me
If there's a fire
If there's a passion
A need, a desire
A craving, a longing
Are you willing,
Are you ready
And able,
And capable
To set the stakes higher?
To take more risks?
This time,
Now,
To pass it on,
To share,
Come sit by my fire
Share my passion
Travel out of our minds,
Escape our thoughts,
And into our hearts
And embrace our emotions
Standing by
Waiting patiently
Our hearts've been standing by for so long
Our emotions have been waiting for too long
Yes you're listening
Yes, you hear me
Cause we have the tiny scales to swim
Because we have the means to explore the unknown
Where has the love gone
Where did the affection go
In our behavior
In our conduct
Where has the light gone
Where did the brightness go
In those faces
In those expressions
Ah ah (doo doo)
Refrain
If you're listening
If you're paying attention
You're a dreamer
You have a imaginative mind
Come sit by my fire
Share my passion
Travel out of our minds,
Escape our thoughts,
And into our hearts
And embrace our emotions
Our hearts've been standing by
Our emotions have been waiting for too long
For so long
For too long

It is not on Spotify anymore. This album is amazing!
shoWbitz
Spotify sucks!
Lucas Figueroa
@shoWbitz I don't know what is going on. This album is not officially uploaded to Youtube. And there's only two official videos for the entire thing.
clownnookie
Wish she stayed in the Smashing Pumpkins and co-wrote some albums with Billy and Jimmy. She's got great stage presence and I loved being able to hear her bass playing live.
Andrew Lockett
Melissa has an open mouthed smile that is at once wicked, quirky, scary, hypnotic and irresistible. Hard to look away, but then, who'd want to? great song to boot!!
jessie ward

Someone’s Channel
Man her work is really good, hopefully she releases more of her music later!
