Look Out
james vincent mc'morrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out with the golden we sew
and the lower past that crawls
Now, to the doorway you run
to the girl that's not enough

Shower's looking, now we're peeking over, I was lucky
In the calm the feather flip the so, of harlot's. All the same
And I hope I'm still in love of course, just doesn't listen

Now, in the passed them again
In the dawn then we hurry
So, I have gathered to bring
and I guess that it never

Shower's looking, now we're peeking over, I was lucky
In the calm the feather flip the so, of harlot's. All the same
And I hope I'm still in love of course, just doesn't listen

You'll be lucky once, when the fall listen to send around
When the sun comes, dry tears from my eyes




So you come around as the weather starts to change
and you settle in. And the best has yet been made

Overall Meaning

The song "Look Out" by James Vincent McMorrow is a complex and enigmatic piece of music. On the surface, the lyrics appear to be a series of disconnected thoughts and images strung together with no clear narrative or direction. However, upon closer inspection, a sense of longing and yearning begins to emerge from the lyrics.


The first verse seems to be about leaving something behind and moving on to something new. The imagery of sewing with golden thread and crawling past implies the end of something old and the beginning of something new. The singer is running to a girl who is not enough, perhaps indicating a sense of dissatisfaction or unfulfilled desire.


The second verse is more obscure and difficult to interpret. It seems to be talking about a shower and peeking, before moving on to a reference to a feather and a harlot. These images suggest the idea of fleeting moments and transience, as well as the idea of beauty and sensuality being temporary and fleeting. The singer hopes that he is still in love, but is aware that sometimes love can be deaf to reason.


The final verse returns to the theme of change and new beginnings. The singer has gathered something and hopes that it will never fade away. The shower and peeking images reappear, but this time there is a sense of luck and gratitude. The singer hopes for a new beginning, a chance to be lucky once again, and to dry his tears.


Overall, "Look Out" is a complex and intriguing song that explores themes of change, longing, and fleeting beauty. It is a song that rewards repeated listenings and careful attention to the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

Out with the golden we sew
We have discarded the precious things in search of something else


and the lower past that crawls
We have left behind our humble beginnings


Now, to the doorway you run
You are chasing after an opportunity


to the girl that's not enough
But that opportunity is not fulfilling


Shower's looking, now we're peeking over, I was lucky
We are cautiously observing our surroundings, hoping for good fortune


In the calm the feather flip the so, of harlot's. All the same
Even amidst peace, people still act recklessly


And I hope I'm still in love of course, just doesn't listen
Despite doubts, I am still holding onto hope in love


Now, in the passed them again
We have encountered the same situations as before


In the dawn then we hurry
We are rushing to make something of ourselves


So, I have gathered to bring
I have collected things to offer


and I guess that it never
But I don't think it will be enough


You'll be lucky once, when the fall listen to send around
You will only have one chance to make the most of an opportunity


When the sun comes, dry tears from my eyes
I will forget my problems when good things happen


So you come around as the weather starts to change
You only show up when things get better


and you settle in. And the best has yet been made
You make yourself comfortable, but the greatest accomplishments are still to come

Out with the golden we sew,
and the lower past that crawls.
Now, to the doorway you run
to the girl that's not enough.

Shower's looking, now we're peeking over, I was lucky.
In the calm the feather flip the so, of harlot's. All the same.
And I hope I'm still in love of course, just doesn't listen.

Now, in the passed them again.
In the dawn then we hurry.
So, I have gathered to bring,
and I guess that it never.

Shower's looking, now we're peeking over, I was lucky.
In the calm the feather flip the so, of harlot's. All the same.
And I hope I'm still in love of course, just doesn't listen.

You'll be lucky once, when the fall listen to send around.
When the sun comes, dry tears from my eyes.
So you come around as the weather starts to change,
and you settle in. And the best has yet been made.

Out, with a guarded resolve, and a love of the coast
Now, tether doorway to rug, so the good is not lost

I was looking, I was peeking over I was looking
In the corner feather flint the salt
I've heard it's all the same
So I hope I'm still alive of course
When it does hit the sun

Now, when I pass through to gaze, I will die with your hand
So, I have gathered your crates, and replaced them with mine

I was looking, I was peeking over I was looking
In the corner feather flint the salt
I've heard it's all the same
So I hope I'm still alive of course
When it does hit the sun

And you'll be lucky once
Waiting for the centre aisle
When the summer cart
Drags you for miles
So you cover up
As the weather starts to change
Then you settle in
And the business it remains

That moment where the sword pierced her...I was so in shock. Broken that she was gone, was not prepared. Those finals words she spoke to Scott, it really showed a powerful connection. R.I.P. Allison Argent :( I'll miss ya.
