Out There
J. Mascis w/ Broken Social Scene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As your Summer turns to Fall
We started like we're holy
'Til we're pounding on the wall
Is there anybody out there
Anyone at all
And stomach what they saw
The angels often told us
That we were all they saw
And it's warming up the colors
And it's leading all the lost
Is there anybody out there
Anyone at all
Who could see it in it's fullness
And stomach what they saw
Feel your leaves, your ground
Feel the ways you've grown
Feel your leaves, your ground
Feel the ways you've grown
Is there anybody out there
Anyone at all
Who could see it in it's fullness
And stomach what they saw
Is there anyone
Is there anyone
Is there anyone
Is there anyone at all
The song "Out There" by J. Mascis with Broken Social Scene is a beautiful ballad about seeking comfort and love during times of confusion and hopelessness. The opening lines suggest that the person is tired, exhausted, lonely, and in despair; his/her hopes have diminished and replaced with confusion, illusions and a crumbling world. The singer offers to be there for her to extend the love and assurance that her life is lacking. The singer urges her to reach out for him during this time of need. He reminds her that he will not only shelter and comfort her in adversity but will also cherish and care for him. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's promise to always see her through and love and support her. It is a reminder that no one is alone and that there is always someone who is willing to listen and support the person in need.
The second verse is a cry to anyone who is about to give up on life. The lyrics stress the vulnerable feeling of being alone in the world, with no hand to hold. The singer urges the person to reach out to him and promises to offer the support and care she needs. The singer reassures the person that no matter how lost or hopeless she feels, he will always love, comfort, and see her through this time. The final verse is a direct plea to the person to reach out for help as they are not alone in their struggles.
The song's message is one of hope and empathy, at the same time emphasizing the importance of reaching out for help during difficult times. It reminds people that they are not alone, and that someone cares about them. The melody is a soft, slow tempo, with guitar strumming at the beginning and quiet-piano driven chords in the middle, bringing a sense of calmness and security. The song has a harmonious union, and it creates a beautiful sense of comfort, serving to make the listener feel hugged and supported.

As much as I'm a huge fan of Andrew Whiteman, Mascis is a legend, and his guitar playing fits in well, even if it is more predictable than Whiteman's style. Good song.
