Out
fars Lyrics

The first stanza of the song "Out," by Fars, celebrates and praises a man who is seen as unique, calm, and impressive. The song suggests that this man has a special ability to always be right, liked, and successful. The admiration from the singer to this person is expressed by phrases like "One of a kind," "Smooth and sublime," and "wonderful guy." Fars may be expressing an idealized view of this person, where the external appearance and social success are valued above all else.

In the second stanza, the song takes a cynical turn, where the singer contrasts the surface-level appearances of social interactions with an imagined escape from the crowd - a mass of people who behave like lemmings. The desire to "race the lemmings into the sea," and "look up through the water and touch bottom" is a compelling image of escaping from the pressure and conformity of communal norms. The chorus repeats throughout the song, where Fars uses phrases like "You're a doll," and "cut-out," suggesting that the admired person is merely fitting into the expected social norms without much deviation or individuality. Fars seems to suggest that this way of fitting in can be restrictive and superficial, rather than a genuine expression of oneself.

Overall, "Out" by Fars is a song that explores the paradoxical nature of fitting in and standing out. The song is a critique of values that prioritize external appearances and social conformity over authenticity and individuality. The lyrics imply that the seemingly impressive person being celebrated may not be as unique as they are appearing and that there is more to a person than just their social interactions. In contrast, the dream-like escape suggested in the second stanza is a reminder that freedom and autonomy are also essential aspects of a fulfilling life.
