Send Me Out
Moses Mayfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I feel like you could understand
And I feel like you don't belong here
And I know exactly what you mean
(You)
Send me out, send me out
You send me out of here
Hold me, don't let me fall
'Cause I've a fear being alone
And I feel like its been a long year
I wish for you to take me home
(You)
Send me out, send me out
You send me out of here
Don't let the sun go down on your anger
She would say,
"I know you've been right here all the while"
And I would stay
I'm hoping you're the one
That saw me in the moon
Somebody tell me my name
Before I leave here, soon
I find traces of hope along tears
And all the reckless reasons to hold on
I feel like falling when you rise
'Cause I I know there's no point
No reason to fight
But you send me out
Send me out, send me out
You send me out of here
You send me out
Send me out, send me out
Send me out of here
Moses Mayfield's song "Send Me Out" is an emotional plea from someone who feels out of place and alone. The lyrics speak to the idea of finding hope in the midst of despair and seeking a way out of a difficult situation. The song opens with the line "Watch me, baby, hopeful," which sets the tone for the hopeful yet desperate mood of the track. The singer is hoping that someone will understand them and help them break free from their current situation. The chorus repeats the line "send me out" as an urgent request to be saved and taken away from their troubles.
The second verse expresses a fear of being alone and a desire to be held and comforted. The line "I wish for you to take me home" is a powerful image of someone looking for a safe and comforting place to go. The verse also includes a reference to not letting "the sun go down on your anger," perhaps indicating that the person the singer is addressing is also facing their own struggles.
