Out
Lo and the Magnetics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I closed my eyes
That's how it was
Back then
When you disappeared
My life wasn't clear
Turned my world to dust again
You walked into my life
Messed me up for a long time
It's all the same game don't know who to blame
Everything was stripped away from me
I'm nervous, anxious don't know what to say
Why couldn't this happen any other way?
I'm stuck and confused
Don't know what to do
Think I'm going crazy
I can't say goodbye and I'm wondering why
Think I'm Out of My Mind
Remember our first date
That's when my life changed
Life had a different meaning
Now anxiety is killing me
Why were you so misleading
You walked into my life
But I wasn't your type
Messed me up for a long time
It's all the same game don't know who to blame
Everything was stripped away from me
I'm nervous, anxious don't know what to say
Why couldn't this happen any other way?
I'm stuck and confused
Don't know what to do
Think I'm going crazy
I can't say goodbye and I'm wondering why
Think I'm Out of My Mind
I feel insane only you in my brain
Floating far from sanity
I'm paranoid only hear your voice
Can't get you Out of My Mind
I'm stuck and confused
Don't know what to do
Think I'm going crazy
I can't say goodbye and I'm wondering why
Think I'm Out of My Mind
I feel insane only you in my brain
Floating far from sanity
I'm paranoid only hear your voice
Can't get you Out of My Mind
The lyrics to Lo and the Magnetics' song "Out" tell the story of a person who is still haunted by the memory of a past lover who disappeared from their life. The song opens with the singer reminiscing about how they used to think of their lover at night, hence they were always on their mind. However, when the lover disappeared, their life became uncertain and they were left feeling confused and lost, wondering why everything had to change.
The singer then goes on to describe how their lover came into their life, but ultimately they were not compatible. Despite this, the singer's feelings for their lover linger on, and they are unable to shake the memories they shared. The confusion and anxiety that comes with this are consuming the singer and make them feel as if they are going crazy.
Towards the end of the song, the singer becomes more distressed, saying that they cannot even say goodbye to their lover and they feel as if they are out of their mind because they cannot seem to let go of the past. They are still consumed by their lover, and they feel paranoid and insane, unable to move on from the relationship that defined their life.
Overall, the song is about the struggle to move on from a former lover and the difficulty that can come from those experiences pushing someone to question their own sanity.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought of you at night
You were on my mind when I went to bed
When I closed my eyes
When I shut my eyes for the night, I thought of you
That's how it was
It was just how things were
Back then
In the past
When you disappeared
When you left without a trace
My life wasn't clear
My life felt uncertain
Turned my world to dust again
Everything fell apart once more
You walked into my life
You came into my life unexpectedly
But I wasn't your type
You did not find me attractive or interesting
Messed me up for a long time
It affected me negatively for a significant period
It's all the same game don't know who to blame
I don't know who is responsible in this messed up situation
Everything was stripped away from me
Everything that used to matter was taken away from me
I'm nervous, anxious don't know what to say
I feel nervous and anxious, and I don't know what to do or say
Why couldn't this happen any other way?
I am questioning why things could not have gone differently
I'm stuck and confused
I am trapped and bewildered by this situation
Don't know what to do
I don't know how to move forward
Think I'm going crazy
I feel like I am losing my mind
I can't say goodbye and I'm wondering why
I can't seem to let go and I am questioning why that is
Think I'm Out of My Mind
I believe I am losing my sanity
Remember our first date
I recall that first time we went out together
That's when my life changed
This is where the direction of my life shifted tremendously
Life had a different meaning
Life took on a new significance after that point
Now anxiety is killing me
Presently, anxiety is consuming me
Why were you so misleading
I am questioning why you behaved in a deceptive way
I feel insane only you in my brain
I feel like I am going crazy with thoughts of you occupying my mind
Floating far from sanity
I feel like I am mentally drifting away from reality
I'm paranoid only hear your voice
I am anxious and agitated, only hearing your voice in my head
Can't get you Out of My Mind
I am unable to stop thinking and obsessing over you
