Out Of This World
H.Arlen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew
You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was five
No armored knight out of a book
Then I
After waiting so long
for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are
I cry, "Out of this world"
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two
With you
The lyrics of “Out of this world” by H. Arlen are sung by someone who is deeply and completely in love with their partner. They describe the feeling of being enchanted by their loved one – the world fades in comparison to the person they are looking at. The music they hear is otherworldly – something that no one else has ever heard before. The singer likens their partner to a fairy tale character, and themselves to a knight enchanted by a magical siren.
The language used throughout the song is emotive and poetic, with phrases such as “long and lonely night time” and “spend the next eternity or two with you” painting a vivid picture of the depth of emotion the singer feels for their partner. The repetition of the phrase “out of this world” helps to emphasize this sense of enchantment and otherworldliness.
Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to love and the transformative power it can hold. It speaks to the feeling of being entirely consumed and enchanted by a partner, and the longing to spend eternity with them.
