Babel Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd run out of date and time
And just when it felt
Like you'd been out of your mind
Sensing defeat under your skin
A door opens up so you walk right in
Chorus.
You're out of the agony
You're out of this world
Right where you ought to be
Out of the blue
Nothing can get to you
Filled up with doubt
'Bout losing integrity
Filled with lost faith
In moving instinctively
Out of control, out of thin air
Something comes up and just takes you there
Chorus.
And out of the blue
You're out of the agony
You're out of this world
Right where you ought to be
Out of the blue
Nothing can get to you
Just when you thought
You couldn't win
A door opens up so you walk right in
Chorus.
And out of the blue
You're out of the agony
You're out of this world
Right where you ought to be
Out of the blue
Nothing can get to you
The lyrics of Babel Fish's song Out Of The Blue talk about sudden and unexpected positive changes in one's life. It speaks to the feeling of being stuck in a rut or feeling defeated, but eventually finding a way out of that negativity. The song starts by describing a feeling of running out of time and losing one's mind. However, when defeat is sensed and one feels like they are filled up with self-doubt, suddenly a door opens up, and they take the opportunity to walk right in. This 'door' represents the sudden opportunity that arises when you least expect it, leading to a path of success and peace.
The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being taken out of the agony and out of this world, right where one ought to be. It speaks to a sense of calm and happiness that is achieved when one is no longer weighed down by negative feelings. The phrase "out of the blue" refers to the suddenness and unexpected nature of these positive changes. The second verse speaks to feeling out of control and lost, but then suddenly having something take you where you need to be.
Overall, the song is about finding hope and positivity in a world that can often be overwhelming and discouraging. It serves as a reminder to keep pushing forward, even when things seem bleak.
