Seconds Out
Farse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whispers of progress in your life,
Yet what its worth you can't decide,
Its you versus the world now,
A jewel out of place but ill fight your corner,
Blindfolded miles away,
Never throw the towel into concede.

Is this what you thought it would be?
Lipstick, cards and farewells,
Bullets of gold your rays shone,
I take you all for granted,
Life in bowl bore straight on,
So good to hear your voice now.

you're like a visionary of late before your time,
Bag on your back you walk the yellow brick road,
And they'll see you cement the cracks,
I never ever thought you would leave like this,
I was trying to kid myself,
Because I knew what I would miss,
I miss you in the morning and last thing at night,
I love the way you see things,
You got that view on life so right,
Just take it as it comes dear,
Is what you used to say,
My minds packed its bags that same day.

Monday mornings, fear the light,
Spent half an hour waiting last night,
To get something that I cannot pay for,




Its been the same ever since you started out,
Now I'm back again back at the beginning of the end.

The line "A jewel out of place but I'll fight your corner" speaks to the idea that this progress may make the listener feel like they don't belong or like they are out of place, but that the lyricist will support them regardless.


As the song progresses, the listener is reminded of the good things in life that may be taken for granted, such as a loved one's voice or their unique perspective on the world.

Line by Line Meaning

Whispers of progress in your life,
You hear rumors of growth in your life


Yet what its worth you can't decide,
But you're unsure of its true value


Its you versus the world now,
You're on your own against the world


A jewel out of place but ill fight your corner,
Even though you may feel out of place, I'll support and fight for you


Blindfolded miles away,
You feel lost and far away from where you want to be


Never throw the towel into concede.
But don't give up and concede defeat


Is this what you thought it would be?
Did you think things would turn out like this?


Lipstick, cards and farewells,
Life is full of fleeting moments and goodbyes


Bullets of gold your rays shone,
You had a bright and golden presence


I take you all for granted,
But I didn't appreciate you enough


Life in bowl bore straight on,
Life felt mundane and unchanging


So good to hear your voice now.
But hearing your voice now brings joy and comfort


you're like a visionary of late before your time,
You are ahead of your time with your vision


Bag on your back you walk the yellow brick road,
You travel down a difficult and unknown path


And they'll see you cement the cracks,
But you will mend and improve the broken parts


I never ever thought you would leave like this,
I didn't expect you to leave in such a way


I was trying to kid myself,
I tried to convince myself otherwise


Because I knew what I would miss,
Because I knew I would miss you


I miss you in the morning and last thing at night,
I miss you the most in the morning and before bed


I love the way you see things,
I love your perspective on things


You got that view on life so right,
You have a great and accurate outlook on life


Just take it as it comes dear,
You used to tell me to take things as they come


Is what you used to say,
And I remember those words fondly


My minds packed its bags that same day.
But my mind has already left


Monday mornings, fear the light,
Monday mornings bring dread and anxiety


Spent half an hour waiting last night,
I spent a long time waiting for something I can't have


To get something that I cannot pay for,
To obtain something that is out of my reach


Its been the same ever since you started out,
Things have not changed since you left


Now I'm back again back at the beginning of the end.
And I feel like I'm stuck at the start of the end
