Out Here
Boundary Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was like a dream
See it all just weighing down on my heart
I could wander on the thought alone
Silence is all I know
Keeps me company when these days are burning out
Don't leave me down here
Walking in my sleep
I will get out here
Driving in the sea
Always out of reach
We can find our way back
Hesitation turns to tragedy
I feel it happening
Silence takes our places in these arms
Take your shots if it brings clarity
Rip me apart, take what you need
I'm not afraid to take the fall
Don't leave me down here
Desperate in the deep
Walking in my sleep
I will get out here
Driving in the sea
Always out of reach
We can find our way back home
The lyrics to Boundary Run's song Out Here delve into themes of struggling to find one's way and navigate through difficult emotions. The opening line, "I was on the breeze when you came to me, it was like a dream," paints a picture of a moment of clarity or inspiration. The following lines, "See it all just weighing down on my heart, I could wander on the thought alone, silence is all I know, keeps me company when these days are burning out," convey the sense of feeling overwhelmed by the weight of one's thoughts and emotions, and a lack of communication or understanding from others.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a plea for support and a desire to escape from the difficult situation. "Don't leave me down here, desperate in the deep, walking in my sleep, I will get out here, driving in the sea, always out of reach, we can find our way back" expresses a longing for a way out, while acknowledging the challenges that come with trying to change and find a new path. The line "Hesitation turns to tragedy, I feel it happening" reinforces a sense of urgency and the need to act quickly before the situation worsens.
The final lines of the song, "Take your shots if it brings clarity, rip me apart, take what you need, I'm not afraid to take the fall," can be interpreted as a willingness to face the consequences of one's actions in order to move forward and grow.
