Planeshift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've long searched for answers
Every second lost to pay
Other's joy, my anger
I'm outside and won't get in
Want no stains of you in me
I'm outside and won't get in
Tell me what to fear
Tell me what to hear
No sense of inferiority
From you nor me
What good is your voice
Sitting up high on your throne
You still can't see me
I'm just that thick shim down below
My devotion's something that you won't enslave
Light your den and see you're worn out instantly
I'm being capped by someone swelling down on me
Yet I stand and breathe the greed "I" get as fate
As you're laughing out I crawl into the night
Touching my wounds, feeding the pain
And it hurts me so much more than yesterday
More than yesterday
More than yesterday
For long I've been cast away
I've long searched for answers
Every second lost to pay
Other's joy, my anger
I'm outside and won't get in
Want no stains of you in me
I'm outside and won't get in
Want no stains of YOU
"Outcast" by Planeshift is a song about feeling like an outsider, rejected and alone. The lyrics speak of the singer's struggle to find a place in the world and their resentment towards those who seem to have it all figured out. The opening lines convey the sense of being "cast away" and the search for answers that has consumed much of the singer's life. Every second seems to be lost in the pursuit of happiness and fulfilment, while other people seem to effortlessly find joy. This creates anger and frustration within the singer, as they feel left out and excluded.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm outside and won't get in, want no stains of you in me" which reinforces the idea of the singer being an "outcast" who wants nothing to do with the people who have rejected them. There is a sense of pride in the refusal to conform and the desire to maintain individuality. The verse "What good is your voice, sitting up high on your throne, you still can't see me" criticizes those in positions of power who are blind to the struggles of others, and who make no effort to understand those who are different.
The second verse speaks of the singer's pain and suffering, but also of their determination to survive and thrive, despite the obstacles they face. It is a message of hope for others who feel like they don't belong, reminding them that they are not alone and that they too can find strength in their struggles.
