The Story So Far Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't really wanna be with anyone
Can you hear in my key?
How can you not see it's not always fun
Wait and score, speed back lock the door and just pour
I'm gettin numb
Not enough, gimme more soda, soaking through the floor of 51
Out of it
I can't believe you're still upset
Get over it
And leave me alone
My appropriate opiate has me out of it
Out of it
I can't believe you're still upset
Get over it
And leave me alone
Glue me into my seat
Spill onto me feet and let it run
'Cause I am all that you need
The hunger I feed
My loaded gun
Always sore in my back
From the spine that I lack to really be done
That's enough, no more
I'm barely breathing anymore
Ask me how did I let this get worse?
Dove through the mud for my verse
Tell me how many wounds can you nurse?
Dive into nothing head first
My appropriate opiate has me out of it
Out of it
I can't believe you're still upset
Get over it
And leave me alone
My appropriate opiate has me out of it
Out of it
I can't believe you're still upset
Get over it
And leave me alone
It's holding on but barely by the edge
You always ask me where I go
I'm high now, I'll hide it
From you and her my closest friends and everyone
My appropriate opiate has me out of it
Out of it
I can't believe you're still upset
Get over it
And leave me alone
My appropriate opiate has me out of it
Out of it
I can't believe you're still upset
Get over it
And leave me alone
The Story So Far's song "Out of It" is a heart-wrenching depiction of drug addiction and the dark places it can take you. The opening lines set the tone with the singer describing himself as "leaning on a bad knee" and not wanting to be around anyone. He's clearly in pain both physically and emotionally, and the only comfort he finds is in his "appropriate opiate," which has him "out of it."
The singer's drug use becomes more and more apparent as the song goes on. He describes himself as being "barely breathing" and "diving headfirst into nothing." He talks about pouring more soda onto the ground of "51," which presumably is some sort of hangout spot or club. He's trying to numb himself and escape reality, but it's not enough. He wants more, even as he recognizes that he's "soaking through the floor."
Despite all this, the singer seems to be in denial about the severity of his addiction. He tells someone to "get over it" and leave him alone, as though everything would be fine if only they would stop bothering him. He believes that his drug use is serving a purpose - feeding a "hunger" that he can't satisfy any other way. But it's clear that things are spiraling out of control; he's barely holding on, and even his closest friends don't know the extent of what he's doing.
All in all, "Out of It" is a powerful portrait of addiction and the toll it takes on those who are caught in its grips. It's a reminder that even when things seem hopeless, it's important to seek help and find a way out of the darkness.

Ask me how did I let this get worse?
I'm questioning how my life got to such a low point
Dove through the mud for my verse
I've gone through difficult experiences to find inspiration for my music
Tell me how many wounds can you nurse?
I'm asking how much more pain and hurt someone can handle
Dive into nothing head first
I'm taking risks and not thinking about the consequences
It's holding on but barely by the edge
I'm barely holding on and close to falling apart
You always ask me where I go
You're concerned about my whereabouts and well-being
I'm high now, I'll hide it
I'm under the influence but hiding it from others
From you and her my closest friends and everyone
I'm hiding my addiction from everyone in my life
