Out There
P.V.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes in my parents house
In which I came to exist
The alert like look in their eyes
Still nothing was said
Yeah, the big and scary unknown
I didn't dare, even guess
Some day calls out for me to be alone
To fly where the other days has flown
Out there, out there
To find a thought that wasn't thought upon
To go where the other days has gone
Out there, out there
Out there, out there

When everyone agrees with you
But, you know you're wrong
When everyone embraces you
But, you know you don't belong
Still feel the shadow behind
Even when the sun is gone
Some day calls out for me

Yeah, I look in the mirror
Yeah, I look in the mirror
But, the mirror is bare
I look for my mouth
But, my mouth isn't there!
I go to the window
I want to shout
But, below my nose
Nothing comes out
I'll never ever whistle
And there's no one to kiss




What I'll eventually say
No one will miss

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of P.V.D's song "Out There" express a feeling of disconnect and longing for something new, something that has not been thought of or experienced before. The song is about the fear of the unknown and the desire to venture beyond one's comfort zone. The first verse describes the artist's childhood home and the unspoken anxiety that he felt there. He was hesitant to even think about the unknown which made him feel scared, yet there was a call that beckoned him to venture out alone, where other days had been.


The second verse of the song speaks about being surrounded by people but still feeling alone and misunderstood. Even though everyone agrees with him, he knows deep down he's wrong and doesn't belong. The shadows behind him are felt even when the sun is gone, representing the constant feeling of being haunted by something or the fear of failure. The artist looks in the mirror, but it is bare and they are not quite sure what they are looking for. They try to speak but no sound comes out, like the feelings or the thoughts are trapped inside.


Overall, the song is an introspection that speaks of the continuous struggle between life and oneself. It's about the yearning to discover oneself, the driving force that keeps an individual moving forward despite feeling alone, scared, and misunderstood.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes in my parents house
At times, I think back on the home I was born into


In which I came to exist
The place where my existence was initiated


The alert like look in their eyes
Their tense, watchful gaze without explanation


Still nothing was said
Despite the looks, they never spoke of what was wrong


Yeah, the big and scary unknown
A deep fear of the great mystery that lies ahead


I didn't dare, even guess
I was too afraid to even consider it


Some day calls out for me to be alone
A part of me wants to be isolated and introspective


To fly where the other days has flown
To move on from the past and explore new paths


Out there, out there
To reach out into the great beyond


To find a thought that wasn't thought upon
To discover new ideas that haven't yet been considered


To go where the other days has gone
To travel to places and experience things that have been witnessed by others before


When everyone agrees with you
Being surrounded by people who concur with your views


But, you know you're wrong
Despite everyone's agreement, you're aware that you're mistaken


When everyone embraces you
People accepting and supporting you


But, you know you don't belong
Despite their embrace, you still feel out of place


Still feel the shadow behind
The remnants of past negativity still haunt you


Even when the sun is gone
This feeling persists irrespective of your current situation


Yeah, I look in the mirror
When I examine myself


But, the mirror is bare
There's no answer to be found when I look for one


I look for my mouth
Trying to speak up


But, my mouth isn't there!
But I find I'm unable to express myself vocally


I go to the window
I try to look for a solution


I want to shout
I feel like lashing out


But, below my nose
Despite the urge to do so


Nothing comes out
I find I'm unable to find voice to my thoughts


I'll never ever whistle
I can't even master something simple as whistling


And there's no one to kiss
Alone and unloved


What I'll eventually say
My thoughts and feelings will ultimately mean nothing


No one will miss
Nobody will notice if I'm gone
