Out Of Tune
Baio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can take a lot off baby
Just don't put it on me
I was up too late
And I can't quite take what you need

You want faith, love and happiness
But you'd take one of three
In a ruthless world
If you learn ti steal then it's free

So I say
Gimmie all your tokens and all your cheese
My preoccupation is all your money
Give me real devotions and conspiracies
My life's pure ambition no it's not funny
Every single second of every single day
I was out of tune when I thought I sounded great
You were off the beat so I knew it was fate
A little bit of love to fuel all the hate

You can take a lot off baby
Just don't put it on me
Have you figured it out
What you want your life to be?

Do you want to go out
And see
What the world's about?
If it ain't your thing
We can sit inside the tower and just sing
Like "WHOOOOOOOO"
So I say
Give me all your paper and all your trees
My preoccupations are drugs and money
Feed me weaker nations and right wing memes
My life's pure ambition no it's not funny
I may have overstepped but I realized way too late
That I was out of tune when I thought I sounded great
Nail me to a car and hang me in the Tate
I want to live art, I crave a sealed fate

Show me all your papers and all your cheese
My preoccupations are oil and money
Feed me real devotion and all seven seas
My life's pure ambition no it's not funny
I'm a man of the world but I never leave the saints
And I was out of tune when I thought I sounded great




You were out of tune so I knew it was fate
A little bit of love to fuel all the hate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Baio's song Out of Tune, explore the themes of hedonistic pleasures and a lack of direction in life. The opening lines, "You can take a lot off baby/ Just don't put it on me," showcase a desire to distance oneself from responsibility and the burden of others' demands. The artist then proceeds to question the meaning of life and the things one needs to be happy with lines such as "You want faith, love, and happiness/But you'd take one of three."


Baio's lyrics also highlight the idea of the corrupt, ruthless world that we live in - where "if you learn to steal, then it's free." The artist portrays a life of immediate, impulsive fulfillment - where he demands "all your tokens and all your cheese," "all your paper and all your trees," and "oil and money" as preoccupations. He craves "real devotions and conspiracies," and "weaker nations and right-wing memes," demonstrating a life of excess and a lack of long-term purpose.


Despite all of this, however, the song's final line seems to offer some kind of counterpoint to the life of immediate gratification the artist describes throughout the song. "A little bit of love to fuel all the hate" can be interpreted as a ray of hope, a reminder that love and empathy can balance out the bleakness of a ruthless world guided by materialism.


Overall, Baio's Out of Tune presents themes of hedonism, a lack of purpose, and a desire for excess, underlined by the idea that in a ruthless world, love and empathy can be the cure.
