No Way Out
De.SenseS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Delightful if you dare
To tell the lies
And no one really cares
To see the light
That's down below
How can I tell you
That sometimes there's just no way
That sometimes there's just no way
No way, no way ay
No way ay
No reason to be sorry once again
Cuz things will come and go
But ashes will remain
To tell the story
How can I tell you
That sometimes there's just no way
Even time can not tell you
That sometimes there's just no way
No way, no way, ay
No way, ay
Tell me how can I tell you
That sometimes there's just no way
Even time can not tell you
That sometimes there's just no way
No way, no way
The lyrics of De.SenseS's song "No Way Out" convey a sense of the rarity of truth and the potential delight that can come from daring to tell lies. The poet seems to be suggesting that in a world where lies are often more readily accepted than truth, no one really cares to see the underlying reality. The line "To see the light that's down below" indicates that there is a hidden truth, a deeper understanding that is overlooked. The singer is grappling with the challenge of conveying this truth to others, particularly in situations where there seems to be no possible way to do so.
The repetition of the phrase "No way, no way" emphasizes the frustration and helplessness the poet feels in trying to communicate this truth. The mention of time not being able to provide answers underscores the idea that there are certain things in life that cannot be explained or rationalized, no matter how much time passes. The repetition of "no way, ay" adds a resigned tone, as if accepting that there are limits to what can be understood and communicated.
The lyric "No reason to be sorry once again" suggests a weariness, as if the singer has previously attempted to express this truth but was met with indifference or disbelief. Despite the transient nature of things in life, the line "But ashes will remain to tell the story" acknowledges that even when situations change and fade away, the impact and memory of them endure. These ashes symbolize the remnants of truth, the elements that cannot be extinguished or forgotten.
The final refrain of "Tell me how can I tell you" implies a desperation to convey this truth, as if the poet is seeking guidance or assistance in finding a way to communicate effectively. The acknowledgement that "sometimes there's just no way" speaks to the inherent limitations of human understanding and the complexity of truth. Ultimately, the repetition of "No way, no way" underscores the frustration and perhaps resignation that accompanies the poet's struggle to communicate a truth that may always remain elusive.
