Out Of The Dark
Hybrid feat. Adam Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time I held my nerve
From on the edge to on the verge
I'll get what I deserve
And you don't do this
And you can't do that
If it's all the same to you then I'm taken
And you don't do this
If it's all a game to you then I'm taken in
Held back all the time
It's just not my style
Step straight and face the front
You only break out once
And you don't do this
And you can't do that
If it's all the same to you then I'm taken
And you don't do this
And you can't do that
If it's all a game to you then I'm taken in
The lyrics to Hybrid's "Out Of The Dark" seem to convey a sense of determination and persistence in the face of adversity. The first verse suggests a history of repeated mistakes, but this time around the singer has "held [their] nerve" and is determined to get what they deserve. The second verse plays on the idea of being held back or limited, and encourages taking risks and breaking out of these restrictions.

The phrase "I'm taken" could mean that the singer is committed to their goals and will not be swayed or discouraged by others' opinions. Overall, the lyrics seem to express a sense of resilience and determination in the face of obstacles.

The first of Hybrid's albums I ever heard, still one of my fav electronic bands, along with Boards of Canada, Lunatic Calm, Prodigy and Crystal Method.

I love the way this song develops into something far better than it needed to be.
@Lazz_R
This song is a pure masterpiece. An underrated breakbeat masterpiece.
As good as Finished Symphony is and all the "Classics" from the group, this song is a stand-out to show that Hybrid do not always need their orchestra to make perfect music emotional.
@natoar26stylistixx

@MassiveTrackHunter
How this never made onto national radio stations is beyond me.
But then again the mainstream doesn't always pick the best music anyways....
Such a Massively Cool album!!
This track is especially awesome.

"...the mainstream doesn't always pick the best music anyways"
Remind me of ONE time the mainstream picked something good. Radio is pure garbage for mind-dead drones.
