Out Of Mind
Magicman 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?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magicman's song "Out Of Mind" are a plea for someone to come back to the singer's life. Although the singer saw the other person walking towards them, they could sense that something was wrong as the other person was shivering with a heart attack. The silence between them is something the singer cannot explain, adding to their confusion and anxiety. The singer then ruminates on how difficult it is to be alone and the fading memories of their time together, they feel like they can't afford to lose that one spot of comfort that the person they are speaking to brings.


In the chorus, the singer reveals that they have fallen apart in the past week, and despite the reassurances from others that things will get better, they feel like they are at the end. The singer feels like their sanity is on the line and regrets not leaving before it's too late. The song ends on a questioning note, with the singer lamenting that they know the other person but don't know if they know the real speaker.


Line by Line Meaning

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


Saw you walking out to me
Saw you walking away from me


But your shiver is your heart attack
You are anxious and nervous when you are around me


And the silence that I can't explain
The quietness between us is uncomfortable and puzzling


To know when you're the first to go
To be aware that you are the one to leave first


Well, it's hard just to be alone
It is difficult to be by myself


Now fading like a photograph
Slowly disappearing like an old picture


And still you're all I have
You are the only thing I have left


'Cause I know you
Because I am familiar with you


Oh, it's been a week since I fell apart
It has been a week since I have been depressed


They say it's getting better
People are telling me that things are improving


But if this is the end, then when was the start?
If this is the conclusion, then when did everything begin?


I can feel it in my bones
I have a strong intuition about it


Oh, the sanity is on the line
My emotional and mental state is at risk


Oh, I should've gone, I should've known
I should have left and known better


That you're out of sight, out of mind
You are forgotten when you are not around


But I can't afford to lose the spot
But I cannot afford to lose my place or position


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


I'm too scared that you're all I have
I am too frightened that you are my only option


'Cause I know you
Because I am familiar with you


But do you know me?
But do you really know me?


It's been a week since I fell apart
It has been a week since I have been depressed


They say it's getting better
People are telling me that things are improving


But if this is the end, then when was the start?
If this is the conclusion, then when did everything begin?


They say it's getting better
People are still telling me that things are improving


They say it's getting better
People are relentlessly telling me that things are improving


'Cause I know you
Because I am familiar with you


I know, I know, I know
I am aware, I am aware, I am aware


But do you know me?
But do you truly understand me?


You know, you know, you know
You have an understanding, you have an understanding, you have an understanding


Do you know me?
Do you truly understand me?

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!
