Out Of Sight
Outlandish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was doing dishes
When momma noticed the cuts
Almost called her bluff
Told her to scratch it off
Surprised, but momma didn't make much notice about it
And now she went to sleep and left her alone

[CHORUS:]
And she said like
(oh oh )
She knows like
(oh oh)
She feel like
(she don't want nobody to know)
She love like
(oh)
So strong like
(keep it low)

Her friends noticed something strange
Trippin as well
Why can't she find the right words to tell
The marks on her arm was something she done secretly
Crying her heart out feeling so torn

[CHORUS]

Yeah, say what you want but
You all alone and all the time it's hard to see love
Probably some teen stuff
I know you want mine
Because I ain't got the time
We scratch the surface some other time, aight?
Speaking of which I heard a rumor going around about ya
Oh I'm sorry if it sounds feels like i'm bothering ya
Why keep it all inside? It's like dying alive
Quiet water runs deep, it shows in your eyes

Hey, trying to cope with pain misunderstood alot
Upset in the rain, she wish she could make it stop
She feels the need to do what's inside her brain starts to connect the false relief to the act of hurting

[CHORUS]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Outlandish's song Out Of Sight appear to be about a girl who is cutting herself as a way of coping with emotional pain. The first verse describes how her mother notices the cuts on her arms while she is doing dishes, and tells her to simply scratch it off. Despite her mother's lack of concern, the girl continues to struggle, keeping her pain a secret from most people in her life, including her friends. The chorus emphasizes her desire to keep her pain hidden, expressing her fear of being exposed to others. The third verse features a male voice, possibly that of a friend or acquaintance, who tries to reach out to the girl and offer support, but in a somewhat awkward way. Overall, the lyrics are a poignant and powerful exploration of the experience of self-harm and the difficulty of reaching out for help.
