Out of the Blue
Equatronic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
passing people searching for the cause to hate their past
an old and angry man is yelling
but no one takes care
still anybody cold shoulders him
but that will change
even seconds from his shame
he breathes deeply and pulls out his gun
without remorse while others start to run
the show is over after a short while
the old and angry man keeps silent
but no one takes care
a disconcerting calmness frightens the survivors
confused by blurred boundaries between life and death
he still can´t feel the pain
he doesn't see himself to blame
The lyrics to Equatronic's song Out of the Blue describe the somber, dark atmosphere of a city at night. The singer is driving through the streets, watching as people seem to be searching for something to blame for their past. As he drives, he comes across an old, angry man who is shouting, but no one takes notice of him. Despite being ignored, the man continues to spew his anger and frustration, until he suddenly takes out a gun and begins shooting. The people around him panic and flee, and the man is left alone in a haunting silence.
Despite all of the chaos, the old, angry man doesn't seem to feel any pain or remorse. He appears to be numb to everything around him, including the violence he has just committed. The lyrics suggest that the man may not even realize that he's to blame for what he's done. The survivors are left feeling uneasy and confused by the sudden, violent outburst, which seems to blur the boundaries between life and death.
