Right of Left Field
Wellwater Conspiracy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It crazy's me (?)
Leftwardly (?)
Stood it well (?)
Just when you feel (?)

Forced mistake (?)
To let it slip away
Concentrate baby

To make it go away

Between your red (?)
Miles of deceit
Put a wall
To all you bestow
The more they find
You come untwined
It comes in waves
Blow me away

Feels like a new moon rising
Just to the right
Of left field

I've been watching you
From the dark side
Growing inside

Blazing feet (?)
Just out of reach

Down enlist (?)
O plant your feet in (?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wellwater Conspiracy's song "Right of Left Field" are quite enigmatic and may have different interpretations depending on the listener's perception. The song speaks about a feeling of disorientation and confusion, where everything seems to be falling apart, forcing the singer to concentrate to make it all go away. The lines "Forced mistake/ To let it slip away" suggest that something important was lost due to a mistake that was made, with the singer trying to move on and focus on the future. The song depicts a sense of disillusionment that arises when faced with deception, with the lines "Between your red/Miles of deceit/Put a wall/To all you bestow" hinting at a previous trust that was broken.

The chorus features the lines "Feels like a new moon rising/Just to the right/Of left field", which could refer to how unexpected changes are happening in the singer's life, as a "new moon rising" signifies the beginning of a new cycle, while "just to the right of left field" indicates that this change is happening unexpectedly. The lines "I've been watching you/From the dark side/Growing inside" may indicate the presence of a hidden or unknown force that is causing this change, with the singer watching it from afar, growing and becoming more powerful. Throughout the song, there is a sense of struggling to hold on to something, represented by the lines "Blazing feet/Just out of reach", as if the singer is trying to chase something and failing, and "Down enlist/O plant your feet in", suggesting a call to action to make a choice and stand firm.
