Out of the Blue
Sub Focus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
And it takes two and it takes two
Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue
And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do
Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
And it takes two and it takes two

Don’t let me down love

I will stand up for you
When you hold me like you do
I’m right here next to you
But I don’t want to stay if you carelessly play with my heart

Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
And it takes two and it takes two
Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue
And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do

I will stand up for you
When you hold me like you do
I’m right here next to you
But I don’t want to stay if you carelessly play with my heart

Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
And it takes two and it takes two




Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue
And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Out The Blue” by Sub Focus explores the concept of love being unpredictable and uncontrollable. The opening line of the song, “Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools” suggests that love is a force not entirely within our control, and that we often open ourselves up to heartache through our own lack of caution. The lines “Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue” and “And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do” similarly argue that love can strike without warning and that it can be a powerful force that takes hold of us, rendering us helpless to its whims.


However, the singer’s lyrics suggest that love is not something that should be taken lightly. The lines “But I don’t want to stay if you carelessly play with my heart” and “Don’t let me down love” are a warning to a lover not to take their affections for granted, and to be mindful of the power they wield over the singer’s emotions. The repeated refrain “I will stand up for you, when you hold me like you do, I’m right here next to you” suggests that even though the singer is wary of love’s power, they are nonetheless open to it, and they are willing to be vulnerable in the presence of the person they care for.


Overall, the song “Out The Blue” is a reflection on the power dynamics of love, and how it is a force that can both inspire great passion and bring great pain. The lyrics suggest that love is something that should be approached with caution and respect, and that it is a force that is not entirely within our control.

Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
Love is a concoction made by people who don't even know what they're doing


And it takes two and it takes two
Love requires both partners to be involved


Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue

2012 was such an INSANE year for DNB. Doesnt compare to anything. Although 2019 is pretty nuts too.

2006-2012 were the best times imo
