No Way Out
D And Javi Boss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the alleys to the valleys
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
And I'm on my way

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

Overall Meaning

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.


Line by Line Meaning

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

Boredom and lack of purpose due to limited options

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

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
