Out of Sight
Chelou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of sight
I′ll be forgiven
In the forefront
I'm forced to break away

I′m trying to be someone
But I don't even know what that means
And I'm trying to do something
But I don′t even know what that is

How cold must you be
To do the things you do
Out of sight?

Out of sight
I′ll keep you satisfied
In the dark we speak in tongue

I'm trying to get started
But I can′t find a man on the run
And I'm trying to get going
But I already see that I′m done

How low must you stoop
To bow before the throne?

On your own
Out of sight
On your own
Out of sight

She had me
Run run run run run run run run run run run run running away
Can't catch me
Run run run run run run run run run run run run running away
Gotta keep on
Run run run run run run run run run run run run running away




Gotta keep on
Run run run run run run run run run run run run running away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chelou's song "Out of Sight" talk about the struggle of trying to find oneself and purpose in a world that can be overpowering and conforming. In the first verse, the singer finds forgiveness and relief in isolation, away from the forefront and its expectations. However, this isolation is also a sign of failing to become someone or do something, as the singer is unable to define these terms for themselves. The chorus poses a question of what kind of person one has to be to perform immoral actions unnoticed, hoping to escape judgment by remaining out of sight.


In the second verse, the singer promises to keep their partner satisfied in their own way, which involves communicating ambiguously in the dark. This can be interpreted as an inability to express oneself openly and honestly, likely due to fear of judgment or rejection. The singer struggles to get their life on track, searching for a way to escape it all by running, but never really finding the way out. In the end, the chorus repeats the same message, emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself and not succumbing to the pressures of society or relationships.


The lyrics of "Out of Sight" are quite subjective and leave ample room for interpretation, making it a song open to diverse perspectives. Some could see it as a message of self-love and acceptance, while others could interpret it as a commentary on societal norms and expectations. However, one can't deny that the song carries emotional depth and poignancy that resonates with everyone.

I'm not 100% sure, but this is what the lyrics sound like to my ears:

Out of sight,
Ah, babe, again.
In the forefront,
I'm forced to break away.

I'm trying to be someone, but I don't even know what that means.
And I'm trying to do something, but I don't even know what that is.

How cold must you be, to do the things you do?

Out of sight.

Out of sight,
I'll keep you satisfied.
In the dark,
We speak in tongue.

I'm trying to get started, but I can't find a man on the run.
And I try to get going, but I already see that I'm done.

How low must you stoop, to bow before the throne?

On your own.
Out of sight.
On your own.
Out of sight.

She had me running away.
Can't catch me running away.
Gotta keep on running away.
Gotta keep on running away.
