Out Of Tune
The Draft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never said it's better on your own.
I never said that you could make it last.
And there'll be time to be strong,
but maybe this just isn't one of them,
but you can bet that all of this will pass
I never tried to please you
cause we never have
but I never said we need to
I never thought that really anyone ever gets
to look back and laugh
But here's to jokes we never got and we never will.
We're out of tune.
We're telling jokes we never got and we never will.
So here's to jokes we never got and we never will.
We're out of tune.
The lyrics of The Draft's song Out of Tune convey a message that is both reflective and empowering. The lyrics suggest a realist's outlook on life, admitting that sometimes it's not easy, sometimes it's not better to be on your own, sometimes you can't make things last, and sometimes it's not time to be strong. Music, however, can be an escape, even when you're feeling out of tune with the world around you. The song goes on to suggest that it's okay to not always know where you belong or to have all the answers. It's okay to not always get a joke, and it's okay to laugh at yourself and the situations you find yourself in.
The chorus repeats the phrase "we're out of tune," which can be interpreted to mean feeling out of sync with oneself or society. The line "here's to jokes we never got and we never will" suggests that it's okay to not understand everything, as not everything in life is meant to be understood. The song seems to be saying that life is a journey, and sometimes the path is rocky and uncertain, but it's important to keep moving forward.
In summary, The Draft's song Out of Tune is a reflection on the ups and downs of life and encourages listeners to keep pushing forward, even when feeling out of sync with the world.
