Out to Dry
Navigating the Maze of Emotions: Mexico City Blondes' 'Out to Dry' Explained
Lyrics
You’d better be waiting cus you’ve got another thing comin’ to ya
You should be prepared because there's a surprise or consequence coming your way
Fresh off the kill and too far afield for any of us to go
Recently experienced something intense or extreme, too distant for anyone to understand
If you don’t know what you’re feeling
Uncertain about emotions or sensations
If you’re hanging on your own wire
Feeling isolated or on the edge
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
If you're unaware of your emotions, you're left abandoned or vulnerable
It’s only a matter of time
Consequence or change is inevitable
We’re both keeping our feet wet not to condemn what we’re running from
Both individuals are exploring risky situations without condemning what they're escaping
Let’s make a deal and kick up our heels or is it too late for that
Suggesting a potential agreement or compromise, questioning if it's too late
If you don’t know what you’re feeling
Reiteration of uncertainty about emotions
If you’re hanging on your own wire
Feeling suspended or isolated, possibly due to self-imposed limitations
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
If you're unaware of your emotions, you're left abandoned or vulnerable
It’s only a matter of time
Reinforcement that consequences are imminent
I don’t know which way you’re leaning shifting your weight like an untethered sail
Uncertainty about the direction someone is leaning, using a metaphor of an untethered sail
High on caffeine and sick of this scene you’re caught in your own trap
Feeling overstimulated and dissatisfied with the current situation
If you don’t know what you’re feeling
Reiteration of uncertainty about emotions
If you’re hanging on your own wire
Feeling suspended or isolated, possibly due to self-imposed limitations
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
If you're unaware of your emotions, you're left abandoned or vulnerable
It’s only a matter of time
Reinforcement that consequences are imminent
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
Emphasizing the lack of awareness or understanding of a situation
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
-You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
-If you don’t know what you’re feeling
Reiteration of uncertainty about emotions
If you’re hanging on your own wire
Feeling suspended or isolated, possibly due to self-imposed limitations
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
If you're unaware of your emotions, you're left abandoned or vulnerable
It’s only a matter of time
Reinforcement that consequences are imminent
You’d better be waiting
A repetition of the opening line, emphasizing the need to be prepared
