D.Or.A
OUT-O THE LERICAL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And where ever you are I hope you're resting in peace
And with every new song I write
I'm hoping that the pain will fade away
'Cause without you I can't imagine ever feeling o.k.
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long
I don't know who to be now that you're gone
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long
You are my new Marissa
You are my new Lindsey
And I would give anything for you to be here today
You are my new Emily
You are my new Caitlin
And I would give anything for you to be here today
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long
I don't know who to be now that you're gone
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long
I don't know who to be now that you're gone
They say you're never really gone
because you're always in our heart
But that does little to comfort
Distance may make the heart grow fonder but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt
I'm sorry that I didn't drink with you
I'm sorry that I wasn't around
I'm sorry I made you listen to all my songs
And I'm sorry that I let you down
I'm sorry that I didn't drink with you
I'm sorry that I wasn't around
I'm sorry I made you listen to all my songs
And I'm sorry that I let you down
I'm sorry that I didn't drink with you
I'm sorry that I wasn't around
I'm sorry I made you listen to all my songs
And I'm sorry that I let you down
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long
I don't know who to be now that you're gone
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long
I don't know who to be now that you're gone
The lyrics to "D.or.A" by OUT-O THE LERICAL mourn the loss of a friend, whom the singer describes as their "new Alyce," "new Marissa," "new Lindsey," and "new Emily." The song is an ode to the friendships that shape our identities and the grief that comes with losing them. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the absence of their friend and the impact it has had on their sense of self. The lyrics express a sense of guilt and regret for not being there for their friend and for failing to properly appreciate their friendship while they were still alive.
The repeated line, "So much of who I am is from being friends for so long/I don't know who to be now that you're gone," captures the central theme of the song. For the singer, their friend was a vital part of their identity, and without them they feel lost and uncertain. The chorus also acknowledges the difficulty of finding comfort in the idea that their friend will never truly be gone as long as they are remembered.
The song is a poignant reminder of the importance of friendship and the impact that losing a friend can have on one's life. It is a tribute to the power of human connection and the deep emotional bonds that are formed through shared experiences and moments of vulnerability.

You are my new Alyce
You are the person who has taken the place of my dear friend Alyce, who has passed away
And where ever you are I hope you're resting in peace
I wish peace and rest for you wherever you are
And with every new song I write / I'm hoping that the pain will fade away
I write new songs in hopes that the pain of losing you will lessen
'Cause without you I can't imagine ever feeling o.k.
I am struggling to imagine a life without you and I am not sure if I will ever feel okay again
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long / I don't know who to be now that you're gone
My identity was shaped by our long-lasting friendship and I am unsure of who I am without you in my life
You are my new Marissa / You are my new Lindsey / And I would give anything for you to be here today
You have taken on the roles of Marissa and Lindsey, who were also important to me and I wish you could be here with me now
You are my new Emily / You are my new Caitlin / And I would give anything for you to be here today
You have taken on the roles of Emily and Caitlin, who were also important to me and I wish you could be here with me now
They say you're never really gone / because you're always in our heart / But that does little to comfort / Distance may make the heart grow fonder but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt
Although people say you are never truly gone because you live on in our memories, this knowledge provides little comfort. While distance can heighten longing, it does not diminish the pain of your absence
I'm sorry that I didn't drink with you / I'm sorry that I wasn't around / I'm sorry I made you listen to all my songs / And I'm sorry that I let you down
I regret not spending more time with you, not sharing experiences, and for burdening you with my music. I feel like I disappointed you in some way, and for that, I am sorry
So much of who I am is from being friends for so long / I don't know who to be now that you're gone
Again, I emphasize how my friendship with you contributed to my sense of self and I feel lost without you in my life
