RED
Out Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stranded doing time
For many an inner crime
Indefinite sentence
Is our only defense
No one's got answers
No avenue to success
Five hundred yards of this shit
Won't get us out of this mess
United by division
Left to sing our blues
Universal blurry vision
How do I get through to you
Memories of taking flight, feeling alright
I'm left bereft
Nothing seems to be going right
Getting pulled off to the left
Sittin' here clear headed
These days it ain't a breeze
Remember pre armageddon?
Gotta get back to Jimmy T's
United by division
Left to sing our blues
Universal blurry vision
How do I get through to you
And oh I fear
When all the stone disappears
The bliss I seek may not be here
And oh I gotta recommend
It's with you 'til the bitter end




The music is your only friend
They can't take that from you, no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Out's song "Red" convey a sense of being stranded and trapped by the inner crimes we commit. The indefinite sentence symbolizes the feeling of being unable to escape the consequences of our actions. The first stanza paints a bleak picture of hopelessness and helplessness. The lack of answers and the absence of a clear path towards success all add up to the dread that the characters in the song feel. The line "Five hundred yards of this shit, Won't get us out of this mess" represents the inescapable nature of our situations.


The chorus of the song states that even though people are divided by their differences, they are united in their experiences of pain and struggle, and they are left to sing their blues. The universal blurry vision refers to the inability to see things clearly, perhaps due to the emotions that have clouded their minds. The second verse talks about the memories of happier times when everyone felt alive and carefree, but those days are long gone. The character is left clear-headed now but feeling like a breeze. The reference to Jimmy T's symbolizes a place where everyone was happy and carefree.


The bridge indicates that the characters in the song are worried that they might lose the things they hold dear when everything is gone. However, the music will always be with them, and it is their only friend. The song's lyrics suggest that no matter how bleak or hopeless the situation may seem, everyone has something special inside them that cannot be taken away, and that is their love for music.
