Out of sight
Jonwayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My momma always told me I was never in the here and now
My head in the past, my feet in the future
My life, hang my head like a necklace
In the blink, no sheep
Next scene I'm just eating my breakfast
Isolation slowly feeling like it's house arrest
Bound from the scene that made me see what my credit gets
Puttin' health before career just to steer ahead
And burn a few bridges just to keep the ends mirrored
And in the end this mirror's getting strange
I'd never thought I'd ever see a change
Nobody pickin' up the phone
Makes me question if I ever did 'em wrong
Steady lying but I'd better be alone
Shit, and if I did I'd have to own up
Little did I know that the cognac was keeping me from growing up
And my fear of flying keeping me from going up
And musical meditation is spiritually glowin' up

This is my work but it was just a diversion
When I was kicking the curb
Feels like I'm sinning when I be seeing the light
'Cause now I'm working on this living just to rap about life
That's some backwards commitment
And on the way I know I gave away some friends
And every day I wish that we could speak again
But every time I wanna make it right
I freeze up and the visions of the shadows of my demons who went out of sight

They been out of sight
Until now

Sometimes
When you end a build you end up destroying things
Like how you hate so much you end up enjoying things
Like how we break it up to keep it moving forward but
When we sit inside the new box we're thinkin' about the older things
I'm just a man playing god with my thoughts
Over pans and pots
He scotch rocks and acting like Novocaine
Might as well fix the grill spill the spray until the day that my brains cold
That's what I told the rain
Pre-apocalyptic L.A everyday
Yeah, I keep myself company on the motorway
Like the hunchback of notre dame
Ringing dead radio waves
Still feel this weight from the barricade
Tryna feel like a human among these animals
Tryna feel some community in this solitude
And as I hit the nuke button once again I can see that
I don't have a single friend

This is my work but it was just a diversion
When I was kicking the curb
Feels like I'm sinning when I be seeing the light
'Cause now I'm working on this living just to rap about life
That's some backwards commitment
And on the way I know I gave away some friends
And every day I wish that we could speak again
But every time I wanna make it right
I freeze up and the visions of the shadows of my demons who went out of sight

Until now
They been out of sight




Until now
They been out of sight

A quote that stuck with me after i had read it is "A friend to all is a friend to none" - Aristotle. and its is so true, i had so many "friends" and as i was going through this severe depression episode that lasted 6 months, none of these people tried to hit me up or try to help me, i realised that our friendship was a one way street, i realised i was being used. i realised that they only talked/invited me when they wanted some sort of value whether that be entertainment, insight or taking care of them. After i got over my depression with therapy i was truely alone and didnt know who to talk to, and now when they try to link up by sending messages or whatever i cant help but think that they just dont care.

POVCOL

My momma always told me I was never in the here and now
My head in the past, my feet in the future
My life, hang my head like a necklace
In the blink, no sheep
Next scene I'm just eating my breakfast
Isolation slowly feeling like it's house arrest
Bound from the scene that made me see what my credit gets
Puttin' health before career just to steer ahead
And burn a few bridges just to keep the ends mirrored
And in the end this mirror's getting strange
I'd never thought I'd ever see a change
Nobody pickin' up the phone
Makes me question if I ever did 'em wrong
Steady lying but I'd better be alone
Shit, and if I did I'd have to own up
Little did I know that the cognac was keeping me from growing up
And my fear of flying keeping me from going up
And musical meditation is spiritually glowin' up
This is my work but it was just a diversion
When I was kicking the curb
Feels like I'm sinning when I be seeing the light
'Cause now I'm working on this living just to rap about life
That's some backwards commitment
And on the way I know I gave away some friends
And every day I wish that we could speak again
But every time I wanna make it right
I freeze up and the visions of the shadows of my demons who went out of sight
They been out of sight
Until now
Sometimes
When you end a build you end up destroying things
Like how you hate so much you end up enjoying things
Like how we break it up to keep it moving forward but
When we sit inside the new box we're thinkin' about the older things
I'm just a man playing god with my thoughts
Over pans and pots
He scotch rocks and acting like Novocaine
Might as well fix the grill spill the spray until the day that my brains cold
That's what I told the rain
Pre-apocalyptic L.A everyday
Yeah, I keep myself company on the motorway
Like the hunchback of notre dame
Ringing dead radio waves
Still feel this weight from the barricade
Tryna feel like a human among these animals
Tryna feel some community in this solitude
And as I hit the nuke button once again I can see that
I don't have a single friend
This is my work but it was just a diversion
When I was kicking the curb
Feels like I'm sinning when I be seeing the light
'Cause now I'm working on this living just to rap about life
That's some backwards commitment
And on the way I know I gave away some friends
And every day I wish that we could speak again
But every time I wanna make it right
I freeze up and the visions of the shadows of my demons who went out of sight

Until now
They been out of sight
