No Way Out
D And Javi Boss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See 'em ridin' just like sally
When you wake up in the middle
And you just can't stay
I've seen the movies and the groovies
And I'm searching for a ruby
In the gutter with a promise
Send us all to high school
Make us pray to statues
So we hang on corners lookin' bored
All the rubbish that you cherish
With your hedonistic pleasures
And your latest status symbols
Just can't stay
Seen the majors chase the minors
With the military blinders
Dangle carrots in the faces
Of the u.s.a.
I hate the local stiffness
And all the capitol sickness
You know they're waiting on a war
Whisper in my ear dear
(tell me something)
Why does suicide have such appeal
(never nothin')
No way-goin'
Like sailors
And valentine
Failures
Ducking
Rejection with
Walls of
Protection
Degeneration
Cross the nation
Lonely callers masturbation
For a minute
Just can't stay
All the wheelers and the dealers
And the zombies kill the feelings
With a bottle and a vial
And I'm on my way
I seen my mother
Watch her dreams just
Smother
Don't want to sing the graveyard song
Whisper in my ear dear
(tell me something)
Why do you pretend it ain't fucking real
(never nothin')
No way-heart felt attraction
That never takes action
Just meetings and functions
And social corruptions
All your niches and your stitches
I'm not lyin' back and wishin'
For a Cinderella savior
And I just can't stay
Call us fags and call us phonies
But I make the ginamone
And you hate it cause I shake
It
And I'm on my way
I can't wait till Christmas
Barking in the darkness
A broken hero at the bar
Whisper in my ear dear
(tell me something)
Why does suicide have such
Appeal
(never nothin')
No way out
No way out
No way now
No way!
Fire to ashes
And candy store flashes
Scars from the gashes
And yesterday passes
From the alleys to the
Valleys
See 'em ridin' just like sally
When you wake up and you
Just can't stay
The lyrics to D and Javi Boss's "No Way Out" describe the struggle of feeling trapped in a society filled with corruption, false pleasures, and unattainable dreams. The singer has seen movies and groovies, searched for a ruby, and hung out in gutters with a promise. They express frustration with the education system, the obsession with status symbols, and the lure of the military. Throughout the song, the singer questions the appeal of suicide and the way people pretend that societal problems don't exist. They feel unable to escape, as they watch their mother's dreams smothered, and they refuse to fall back on fairy tale solutions or rely on others. The song ends with a sense of acceptance - yesterday is gone, and there's no way out, so they continue to ride on, like Sally, through the alleys and valleys of life.

From the alleys to the valleys
I've seen people from all walks of life
See 'em ridin' just like sally
Observing others enjoying life despite their struggles
When you wake up in the middle
During moments of confusion
And you just can't stay
Feeling trapped
I've seen the movies and the groovies
I've experienced different lifestyles
And I'm searching for a ruby
I'm searching for something of value
In the gutter with a promise
Despite my current situation, I have hope for a better future
And I'm on my way
I'm determined to succeed
Send us all to high school
Societal expectations to conform and adhere to certain norms
Make us pray to statues
Religious beliefs and traditions
So we hang on corners lookin' bored
Boredom and lack of purpose due to limited options
All the rubbish that you cherish
The materialistic and superficial things people value
With your hedonistic pleasures
The pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification
And your latest status symbols
The symbols of wealth and success people use to define themselves
Just can't stay
These things don't provide true satisfaction or purpose in life
Seen the majors chase the minors
The powerful exploiting the vulnerable for their own gain
With the military blinders
The military's disregard for human rights and suffering
Dangle carrots in the faces
Offer false promises and incentives to manipulate people
Of the u.s.a.
A commentary on American society and its corruption
I hate the local stiffness
Disdain for conformity and rigidity in the community
And all the capitol sickness
Critique of government corruption and bureaucracy
You know they're waiting on a war
The government and military industrial complex profiting from conflict
Whisper in my ear dear
Seeking deeper understanding and connection
(tell me something)
Asking for honesty and insight
Why does suicide have such appeal
Questioning the allure of suicidal thoughts
(never nothin')
Lack of response or solution
No way-goin'
Feeling trapped with no escape
Like sailors
Navigating life's challenges with uncertainty
And valentine failures
Disappointments in love and relationships
Ducking
Avoiding confrontation or difficulty
Rejection with walls of protection
Putting up emotional barriers as a defense mechanism
Degeneration
The decline or worsening of societal issues
Cross the nation
Affecting people everywhere
Lonely callers masturbation
Loneliness and seeking solace through unhealthy means
For a minute
Momentary escape from reality
All the wheelers and the dealers
People chasing money and power by any means necessary
And the zombies kill the feelings
The emotional numbness that can come from living a life focused on material gain
With a bottle and a vial
Substance abuse as a coping mechanism
And I'm on my way
I won't be held back by these destructive behaviors
I seen my mother
Personal experience with loved ones struggling
Watch her dreams just smother
Seeing the hopes and aspirations of others fall apart
Don't want to sing the graveyard song
Refusing to accept a life of despair and meaninglessness
No way-heart felt attraction
Desire for more meaningful connections and relationships
That never takes action
Disappointing lack of follow-through in pursuing fulfilling relationships
Just meetings and functions
Superficial interactions that don't lead to genuine connections
And social corruptions
The toxicity and harm caused by shallow societal norms
All your niches and your stitches
The superficial differences that people use to divide themselves
I'm not lyin' back and wishin'
Taking action to change my circumstances
For a Cinderella savior
Rejecting the idea that someone else will save me
And I just can't stay
Refusing to be held back by societal norms and expectations
Call us fags and call us phonies
Being judged and misunderstood by others
But I make the ginamone
Succeeding despite these obstacles
And you hate it cause I shake it
Others resenting personal success
I can't wait till Christmas
Anticipation for a better future
Barking in the darkness
Feeling lost and uncertain
A broken hero at the bar
The struggles and challenges of life
Fire to ashes
Destruction and loss
And candy store flashes
False and fleeting temptations
Scars from the gashes
The emotional and physical wounds from life's challenges
And yesterday passes
The impermanence and fleeting nature of time
