Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Outro" by The Lawrence Arms carry a sense of despair and hopelessness. The imagery of being torn apart and discarded down the drain conveys a deep sense of being used up and discarded. The repetition of the verse highlights the cyclical nature of the feeling of worthlessness and insignificance.


The lyrics are particularly poignant when considering the context of the album "Oh! Calcutta!" which explores themes of disillusionment, regret, and nostalgia. The song serves as an interpretation of the pain of growing older, losing one's sense of identity, and facing the realization of one's own mortality. The lyrics, therefore, serve to encapsulate the emotional core of the album and offer a sense of finality that brings the themes explored throughout full circle.


Line by Line Meaning

Tear us up
Rip us apart


And stuff us down the drain
Push us aside and discard us as if we’re nothing


Tear us up
Break us into pieces


And stuff us down the drain
Disregard us without a second thought
