Reach
Panic DHH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

maybe you just didnt mean it,
so why did you fuck with my state of mind,
taking my oppressors? and leaving,
leaving me here with your gift of time,
too late i'm out of your reach,
now i'm out of your reach,
now i'm out of your reach...
hate, hate, hate

whispers
if this is what you want,
something to make you free,
something that, something that,
something that you could ever be

what was it that you were expecting,
the vision of something you could deter,
day by day it changes,
so why was i such a disappointment to you,
i did the work ? i needed...
lost my way,
what is it you think you can teach me...
and you tell your lies

too late i'm out of your reach,
now i'm out of your reach,
now i'm out of your reach,




out of your reach, out of your reach,
you... something for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Panic DHH's song Reach dive into the emotions of someone who has been wronged by another person. At the beginning of the song, the singer questions why their attacker would mess with their state of mind and take away their sense of control. The attacker leaves the singer with nothing but time, making it seem like they cannot move on from what happened. The chorus repeats the phrase "now I'm out of your reach," emphasizing the singer's sense of liberation and newfound freedom from their oppressor's grasp. However, the singer still harbors intense feelings of hatred towards their attacker, which is made evident by the repetition of "hate" towards the end of the first verse.


The second verse delves deeper into the aftermath of the attack, with the singer addressing their attacker directly. The attacker promised something that would make the singer "free," but it ultimately left them feeling disappointed and lost. Despite doing the work they thought they needed to do, the singer still lost their way and feels like they were let down. The attacker has told lies to the singer, which only adds insult to injury.


Overall, the song seems to be a message of strength in the face of trauma and abuse. The singer is no longer under their attacker's control and has found a sense of independence, although they still carry the pain and anger with them.


Line by Line Meaning

maybe you just didn't mean it,
Perhaps you didn't intend it to happen,


so why did you fuck with my state of mind,
Then why did you mess with my emotional wellbeing,


taking my oppressors? and leaving,
You removed my obstacles and then departed,


leaving me here with your gift of time,
And left me alone with your precious time,


too late i'm out of your reach,
But now it's too late, I'm no longer under your control,


now i'm out of your reach,
Now I have freed myself from you,


now i'm out of your reach...
And you can not reach me anymore,


hate, hate, hate
It fills me with hatred towards you,


whispers
Murmurs that try to persuade me,


if this is what you want,
If this is what you're seeking,


something to make you free,
To find something that will set you free,


something that, something that,
Anything that you are in search of,


something that you could ever be
Something that one can achieve,


what was it that you were expecting,
What were you hoping to receive,


the vision of something you could deter,
The prospect of altering something,


day by day it changes,
On a daily basis it alters,


so why was i such a disappointment to you,
So why was I not able to live up to your expectations,


i did the work ? i needed...
I did what was necessary,


lost my way,
I got lost in the process,


what is it you think you can teach me...
What is it that you believe you could teach me,


and you tell your lies
And you continue to tell your deceitful stories,


too late i'm out of your reach,
But now it's too late, I'm no longer under your control,


now i'm out of your reach,
Now I have freed myself from you,


now i'm out of your reach,
And you can not reach me anymore,


out of your reach, out of your reach,
I'm completely out of your grasp,


you... something for me
You had something to give me,
