Teleport
Man Overboard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And now I know, I know the truth
It's just a matter of inspiration
And it all was just a combination
Of the drugs that I did tonight
It's safe to say that I'm in your head
It's safe to say that I'm doing a good job
Pretty sure that you won't forget
It's safe to say I'm becoming an outlaw
I wrote a poem just to give to you
But it all turns to fake words and sounds
It's safe to say that I'm in your head
And that's the reason you've been
Feeling your temples pound and now I know

Now I know what I'm up against I'll forget in the morning
Like some dream world story that
I wish that I wrote down
I wish you could teleport and be in my bedroom
That would make me feel just like new
That would make it go away

I made a plan, devised the scheme
It's just a matter of preparation
And you know it's just a combination
Of the things that I felt tonight
I wrote a poem just to give to you
But it all turns to fake words and sounds
I wonder if you'll remember me when I fuck this up
And you're not around and now I know

Now I know what I'm up against I'll forget in the morning
Like some dream world story that
I wish that I wrote down
I wish you could teleport and be in my bedroom
That would make me feel just like new
That would make it go away

Three thousand miles till I'm sleeping in your bed
You're not next door, you're not down the street
You're three thousand miles so teleport to me
I never thought that I would put you through this
Teleport to me you're in pieces, how did I do this?
Now I know what I'm up against I'll forget in the morning

Like some dream world story, that I wish that I wrote down
I wish you could teleport and be in my bedroom
That would make me feel just like new
That would make it go away now I know what I'm up against




I wrote a poem just to give to you
That I wish that I wrote down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Man Overboard's song "Teleport" speak to the feelings of distance and longing for another person. The singer in the song feels like they are inside the head of the person they are singing to, having had an influence on them through their actions - which include taking drugs. The singer expresses a desire for the other person to be able to teleport to them and be by their side, making everything feel new and making their worries go away. However, they also acknowledge that they may have screwed things up and worry that the other person will forget them. The line "It's just a matter of inspiration/And it all was just a combination/Of the drugs that I did tonight" suggests that the singer might be regretting their decisions and actions that led to this point of longing for the other person.


The repetition of the line "Now I know what I'm up against I'll forget in the morning/Like some dream world story that I wish that I wrote down" adds to the general sense of transience and impermanence that the lyrics convey. While the singer may be consumed by their feelings at this moment, they know that these feelings will eventually fade, like a dream that they can't quite hold onto.


Overall, the lyrics to "Teleport" touch upon the idea of distance and desire, and how we often crave physical and emotional closeness to others, even when it seems impossible. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea that their attraction to the other person may be fleeting, and that they may just be another dream that fades with the morning light.
