She Found a Way Out
Cant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's still running but nothing's on
It's still on, it's always on
Sometimes you'll come looking for me
Nothing to see
But she still can
No one said you're done
Why won't you wait for me?
I thought the winter's blood
The water's out but the boat's still good
I, I found
Someone must have forgot
They all forgot
Someone must have forgot
They all forgot
She can
She can
She can
She finally found a way out
She's finally found a way out
She's finally found a way out
She's finally found a way out
She's finally found a way out
In "She Found a Way Out," Cant singer Christopher Taylor sings about looking back on the past while questioning why someone won't wait for him. The first few lines suggest that he's still thinking about something that's gone, but it's not clear exactly what it is. The repetition of "It's still on, it's always on" could imply that the memory or feeling is persistent and unavoidable.
Later in the song, Taylor notes that sometimes this person he's addressing will look for him, but there's nothing to see. The line "No one said you're done" could be interpreted as him wanting this person to stick around, despite whatever hardships they may be facing. Meanwhile, the line "I thought the winter's blood, the water's out but the boat's still good" could be metaphorical or literal, but either way it suggests that there's still hope even when things seem dire.
Towards the end of the song, the repeated phrase "She can" builds up to the reveal that "She finally found a way out." This could refer to the person Taylor is singing to, but it's also possible that it's about himself - he's found a way out of the painful memories, or maybe just out of a negative situation in general. Overall, the song seems to be about the complexities of relationships, whether it's someone who's stuck in the past or someone who's trying to move forward.
