Out of Mind
Magic Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've gotta know you're coming back
Saw you walking out to me
But your shiver is your heart attack
And the silence that I can't explain

To know when you're the first to go
Well, it's hard just to be alone
Now fading like a photograph
And still you're all I have

'Cause I know you

Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
They say it's getting better
But if this is the end, then when was the start?
They say it's getting better

I can feel it in my bones
Oh, the sanity is on the line
Oh, I should've gone, I should've known
That you're out of sight, out of mind

But I can't afford to lose the spot
Or you're keeping all in the dark
Now I'm fading like a photograph
I'm too scared that you're all I have

'Cause I know you

Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
They say it's getting better
But if this is the end, then when was the start?
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better

'Cause I know you
But do you know me?
'Cause I know you

Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
They say it's getting better
But if this is the end, then when was the start?
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better

'Cause I know you
I know, I know, I know
But do you know me?




You know, you know, you know
Do you know me?

Line by Line Meaning

I've gotta know you're coming back
I need the assurance that you will return


Saw you walking out to me
I observed you approaching me, but something is not right


But your shiver is your heart attack
Your trembling indicates a profound internal struggle


And the silence that I can't explain
The muteness between us is inexplicable


To know when you're the first to go
To understand when you will abandon me


Well, it's hard just to be alone
Being in solitude is difficult and challenging for me


Now fading like a photograph
Slowly losing my essence and memory like an old picture


And still you're all I have
Despite everything, you are the only thing left with me


'Cause I know you
But I understand you more than you realize


Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
It has been a week since I shattered into pieces


They say it's getting better
People believe I'm recovering


But if this is the end, then when was the start?
If this supposed improvement is my downfall, then where did it all begin?


I can feel it in my bones
I know instinctively that something is wrong


Oh, the sanity is on the line
My most crucial asset, my sanity, is at stake here


Oh, I should've gone, I should've known
I should have left earlier, and I should have been aware of the dangers that would arise


That you're out of sight, out of mind
You are no longer within my reach, so I must forget you


But I can't afford to lose the spot
I must keep the position at all costs


Or you're keeping all in the dark
You are hiding something from me


Now I'm fading like a photograph
I am gradually vanishing like an old image


I'm too scared that you're all I have
My deepest fear is that you are my only companion


'Cause I know you
I understand you more than you realize


But do you know me?
But the question is, do you know me well enough?


Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
It has been a week since I shattered into pieces


They say it's getting better
People believe I'm recovering


But if this is the end, then when was the start?
If this supposed improvement is my downfall, then where did it all begin?


They say it's getting better
Again, people say I'm healing


They say it's getting better
For the third time, they believe things are improving.


'Cause I know you
But I understand you more than you realize


I know, I know, I know
I understand it all too well


But do you know me?
The question remains, do you comprehend me?


You know, you know, you know
Do you know me like I know you?


Do you know me?
Lastly, do you understand who I am completely?

I've gotta know you're coming back

But your shiver is your heart attack
And the silence that I can't explain

To know when you're the first to go
Well, it's hard just to be alone
Now fading like a photograph
And still you're all I have

'Cause I know you

Oh, I should've gone, I should've known
That you're out of sight, out of mind

But I can't afford to lose the spot
Or you're keeping all in the dark
Now I'm fading like a photograph
I'm too scared that you're all I have

'Cause I know you

Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
They say it's getting better
But if this is the end, then when was the start?
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better

'Cause I know you
But do you know me?
'Cause I know you

Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
They say it's getting better
But if this is the end, then when was the start?
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better
They say it's getting better

'Cause I know you
I know, I know, I know
But do you know me?
You know, you know, you know
Do you know me?

love how they made the video "small town" without being "vintage cute"... it makes it authentically nostalgic and an accurate slice of small town history❤

All their songs make me so happy. Like it could be raining and I could have been so tired and annoyed and then one of their songs is on and I just become happy.

Can't believe I only just discovered this amazing band - they sound like a cross between Chvrches and Walk the Moon - plus the singer is gorgeous, can't take my eyes off him!
