After releasing six studio albums, including best-selling records The Real Thing (1989) and Angel Dust (1992), Faith No More officially announced its breakup on April 20, 1998. The band has since reunited, conducting The Second Coming Tour between 2009 and 2010, and releasing its seventh studio album, Sol Invictus, in May 2015. After the touring cycle of Sol Invictus, Faith No More went on hiatus once again. In November 2019, the band announced that it would reunite to embark on a 2020 UK and European tour, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was postponed. Touring was due to recommence with a brief US tour in September 2021, followed by the previously postponed UK and Europe dates in June 2022, but all tour dates were cancelled with Patton citing mental health reasons.

From Out of Nowhere
Faith No More Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me, I'm yours from the start
I know you see me, our eyes interlock
'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave goodbye
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave goodbye (goodbye)

The song ends with the singer expressing the pain of losing this person as quickly as they came, stating "and it hurts inside, one minute here and one minute there, and then you wave goodbye." Overall, the lyrics convey the intense feelings of infatuation and the heartache that comes from a fleeting relationship.

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You appeared suddenly in my thoughts and shook me out of my complacency
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
Your attractiveness captivates me and makes me feel overwhelmed
'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
Your appearance was unexpected and surprising
My glance turns to a stare
I'm completely taken aback by your sudden presence
Obsession rules me, I'm yours from the start
I can't stop thinking about you, and I feel like I've always wanted to be with you
I know you see me, our eyes interlock
I feel a strong connection with you when we make eye contact
One minute here and one minute there
You seem to come and go randomly, which makes me uncertain of our relationship
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
I'm emotionally confused by the unpredictability of our interactions
And then you wave goodbye
You leave just as mysteriously as you showed up
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
I'm always thinking about you, even when you're not around
All energy funnels, all becomes you
Everything in my life revolves around you and my feelings for you
And it hurts inside
Your sudden departures leave me feeling empty and hurt

Tossed into my mind
Stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty
And pull me down
'Cause you come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me
I'm yours from the start
I know you see me
Our eyes interlock
'Cause you come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye
Sifting to the bottom
Every day for two
All energy funnels
All becomes you
'Cause you come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me-I'm yours from the start
I know you see me-Our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
