You're Out
Ultraísta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone catch my balance
Help me up and carry me away
Cause I don't know the rules
to play the game
I hope that can you show me what you got
You saw it once do you see it again
there is a welcome sign
You're a blown out hole that just got mend
You're a love affair
you don't know how to end
You're out of my mind
A centerfold that just won't close
a smoking ghost in a dark end zone
you can hold that pose as you hang? it on my own?
you make the photograph
that's all of your own
You're out of my Mind
The lyrics to "You're Out" by Ultraísta seem to be addressing a person or an idea that is overwhelming or confusing the singer. The opening verse expresses a feeling of imbalance and uncertainty, as the singer asks for help in navigating the rules of the "game." It's unclear what this game is, but we can assume it represents some sort of social interaction or relationship that the singer feels unprepared for. The second verse introduces a reference to a "welcome sign" on the singer's back, which could be interpreted as an open invitation for someone to step in and help.
The chorus is where the main theme of the song is expressed most directly: "You're out of my mind." This phrase is repeated like a mantra, suggesting that the person or idea the singer is addressing has caused them to lose their grip on reality. The next two lines of the chorus seem to be describing an object or situation that embodies this feeling, using the metaphors of a centerfold that won't close and a smoking ghost in a dark end zone. These are both images of something that is persistent and haunting, yet also impossible to contain or control.
In the final verse, the singer describes the person or idea they're addressing as a "photograph" that is entirely self-contained. This could be interpreted as a critique of someone who is self-centered or narcissistic, or it could be a reflection on the ways in which we construct our own realities through images and representations. Ultimately, "You're Out" seems to be a song about grappling with the forces that shape our perceptions of the world, and learning how to find stability and balance within them.

you make the photograph that's all of your own
You make and create something fake and exude an image that is all your own
