Out Of The Dark
Radford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a sad soul that needs you to come back
If the world gets sick
From it's spin
Peel back the walls
That close me in
[Chorus]
When my last chance was being alone
When the lights burned out
Then you pulled me out of the dark
Then you pulled me out of the dark
I hear the last time attempt
From a hopeful soul that once dreamt
That maybe if the world starts spinning again
I won't be closed in, feeling the strain
[Chorus]
Oh, God, how can you see?
Oh, God, how can you see?
[Chorus]
Then you pulled me out of the dark
Then you pulled me out of the dark
Then you pulled me out of the dark
Then you pulled me out of the dark
Out of the dark
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
The lyrics to Radford's song "Out of the Dark" deal with themes of hope, despair, and faith. The song begins with a plea from a sad soul who is desperately in need of someone to come back to their life. The world around them has become overwhelming, and they feel closed in, trapped by walls that they cannot see beyond. They long for a sense of freedom and release from the pain they are currently experiencing.
The chorus provides a message of hope, as the singer describes their rescue from this darkness. They had been at their lowest point, feeling as though they had no chance of escape, but then someone came and pulled them out into the light. This person was a beacon of hope, offering a chance for the singer to find their way again.
The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note with the repetition of the phrase "Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing." This could be interpreted in a few different ways; it could suggest the singer's continuing struggle to overcome their struggles, or it could be seen as an indictment of someone else's inability to do so. Ultimately, the message of "Out of the Dark" is one of hope and the belief that there is always a chance for new beginnings and fresh starts.

I see a last time attack
I am witnessing a final desperate attempt
From a sad soul that needs you to come back
Coming back is the only hope left for this despairing person
If the world gets sick
Should the world deteriorate
From it's spin
From its rotation
Peel back the walls
Remove the barriers
That close me in
That restrict and confine me
When my last hope couldn't be known
I had given up all hope
When my last chance was being alone
Being alone seemed like the only option left
When the lights burned out
When the light of hope had faded
Then you pulled me out of the dark
You were the one to save me from my despair
I hear the last time attempt
I am aware of one final effort
From a hopeful soul that once dreamt
From a person who used to dream and hold onto hope
That maybe if the world starts spinning again
That the world turning again may bring a change
I won't be closed in, feeling the strain
And I won't feel trapped and burdened
Oh, God, how can you see?
Oh, God, do you understand my pain?
Then you pulled me out of the dark
You saved me from my hopelessness
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
It's shameful that you're struggling so much
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
It's a pity that you're still fighting so hard
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
It's unfortunate that you're still struggling
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
It's embarrassing that you're still unable to overcome your difficulties
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
It's regrettable that you're still trying so hard
Shame, shame you're flailing, flailing
It's sad that you're still unable to find a way out of your situation
