Sublime Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

too many stars
take all for granted
let me tell you one thing now
they keep on dreaming
they feel alive
they're feeling so proud
how on earth can they survive?
let me know in time
let me know in time...
let me know in time...
let me know in time...
never look, never look behind
dont u know theres nuthing to find
never walk, never walk away
tommorrow there'll be another day
too many stars
take all for granted
let me tell you one thing now
they keep on dreaming
they feel alive
they're feeling so proud
how on earth can they survive?
let me know in time
let me know in time...




let me know in time...
let me know in time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sublime's song Outro reveal a sense of reflection and contemplation about the value of dreams and the fleeting nature of life. The opening line, "too many stars take all for granted," suggests that people often overlook the beauty and wonder of the world around them, taking it for granted as just another mundane aspect of life. The repeated refrain of "let me know in time" indicates a desire for a deeper understanding and appreciation of life before it's too late.


The second stanza shifts the focus to the dreamers, who are described as "feeling so proud" and "feeling alive" as they pursue their aspirations. However, the question of how these dreamers can survive in the face of life's challenges and uncertainties remains unanswered. The final stanza contains words of advice, urging listeners to not dwell on the past or fret over what may come in the future. Instead, they should live in the moment and embrace each new day.


Overall, the lyrics to Outro encourage listeners to examine their own lives and appreciate the world around them, while also acknowledging the importance of chasing dreams and seizing opportunities. The theme of the song can be interpreted as a call to action, encouraging people to live fully and to never take anything for granted.
