Come Outside
The American Spirit Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come outside
And talk to me
Come outside
And talk to me
Because for the first time in a while.
I'm not so loaded
Come outside
And talk to me

Come outside
And talk to me
Because I got something in my mind
Just wait and see
All this waiting is making me burn just like the way you know
Burn me like you do
And I've been thinking that you and I can make it
As long as you burn me like you do
Just wait and see
Come outside
And walk with me
Come outside
And walk with me
Because is ... burn right
And leave my feet
Come outside
And walk with me
Come outside
And walk with me
Because I can't walk alone
On this ... streets
All this waiting is making me burn just the way you know
Burn me like you do
And I've been thinking that you and I can make it
As long as you burn me like you do
Come outside
Come outside
Come outside
Come outside
Come outside
Come outside
And you will see
Come outside
And talk to me
Come outside
And talk to me
Because for first time in a while

I'm not so loaded
End

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The American Spirit's song "Come Outside" seem to be a plea for connection and communication. The repeated refrain of "come outside and talk to me" creates a sense of longing and urgency, as if the singer is desperate to connect with someone. The lyrics also suggest a sense of vulnerability - the line "I'm not so loaded" implies that the singer is usually under the influence of something, but in this moment they are clear-headed and want to make a genuine connection.

The lyrics also contain a theme of burning and intensity, with lines like "All this waiting is making me burn" and "burn me like you do." This could be interpreted in several ways - perhaps the singer is referring to a romantic passion, or maybe the burning is a metaphor for a sense of restlessness or discontent.

Overall, the song seems to be a call for openness and connection in a world that can sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming.
