Outcast
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Are not like the rest
You will find
You aren't the best
The crowd
Moves on
And leaves you behind
Now they're gone
To you, they are blind
It's okay
You'll find your place one day
It's okay
You'll find your place one day
You hear them talk
But cannot relate
You drown in thought
That turns into hate
You hide in fear
That you'll be cast out
You shed a tear
Alone in your doubt
It's okay
You'll find your place one day
It's okay
You'll find your place one day
To the outcast I say
To the outcast I say
To the outcast I say
It's okay
(Okay)
You'll find your place one day
(One day)
It's okay
(Okay)




You'll find your place one day
(One day)

Overall Meaning

The song "Outcast" by The Angels explores the feelings of alienation and isolation experienced by someone who does not fit in with the rest of society. The lyrics depict the singer as different from the rest, emphasizing that they are not considered the best or chosen by the crowd. This highlights their outsider status and the sense of being left behind when others move on.


The line "To you, they are blind" suggests that despite the singer's presence, they feel unseen or unnoticed by others. This feeds into their feelings of being misunderstood and disconnected from the conversations and interactions happening around them. The lyrics describe them as drowning in their own thoughts, which eventually turns into hate. This indicates the buildup of frustration and resentment towards a world that seems to exclude them.


The singer harbors a deep fear of being cast out or rejected by society. They feel vulnerable and alone in their doubts, shedding tears in their isolation. However, the repeated refrain "It's okay, you'll find your place one day" serves as a message of hope and reassurance. It suggests that although they may feel out of sync with the world now, there is still optimism for them to eventually find their rightful place and sense of belonging.


In the final chorus, the lyrics direct the message specifically to the outcasts, reinforcing the idea that they are not alone in their experience. The repetition of "It's okay, you'll find your place one day" serves as an encouragement to those who feel like they do not fit in. It offers solace and reminds them that their uniqueness and individuality should not be seen as something negative, but rather as a sign that they have the potential to find a place where they are understood and accepted.
