Out of the Game
Seeking Redemption Beyond the Main Drag
Lyrics
I'm out of the game
I am no longer participating in the game.
I've been out for a long time now
I have been out of the game for a significant period.
I'm lookin' for something
I am searching for something.
Can't be found on the main drag, no
What I seek cannot be found in the mainstream or conventional paths.
I'm out of the game
Reiteration of being out of the game.
I've been out for a long time now
Reiteration of a prolonged absence from the game.
I'm looking for something
Continued search for something beyond the mainstream.
Can't be found on the main drag, no
Emphasis on the elusive nature of what is sought.
Look at you, look at you, look at you
Observation and questioning of others engaged in questionable activities, possibly reflecting disapproval.
Look at you, suckers
-Does your mama know what you're doin'?
-Look at you, look at you, look at you
-Look at you, suckers
-Does your mama know what you're doin'?
-You're only a child
Addressing someone as immature with the mind of an elderly person.
With the mind of a senile man
Highlighting a contradiction or inconsistency in behavior.
You're only a young thing
Referring to someone young about to engage in promiscuity.
'Bout to sleep with a sea of men
Indicating a potentially reckless or careless behavior.
Just hangin' around
Describing idleness, possibly with a sense of disapproval.
Wearin' somethin' from God knows where
Wearing something of unknown origin, suggesting an unconventional style.
Just havin' a ball
Enjoying oneself, causing a disruption or disturbance.
Makin' all of the thin cards fall
Causing the downfall of fragile situations.
Look at you, look at you, look at you
Reiteration and questioning of the actions of others.
Look at you, suckers
-Does your mama know what you're doin'?
-Look at you, look at you, look at you
-Look at you, suckers
-Does your mama know what you're doin'?
-Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Non-verbal expressions, possibly indicating a sense of detachment or indifference.
Da, da, da, da, da
-Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
-Da, da, da, da, da
-Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
-Da, da, da, da, da
-Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
-Say, come over here
Inviting someone close for a final interaction before they venture out and potentially harm the world.
Let me smell you for one last time
-Before you go out there (out there)
-And ruin all of the world, once mine
-I'm out of the game
Reiteration of being out of the game.
I've been out for a long time now
Reiteration of a prolonged absence from the game.
I'm lookin' for something
Continued search for something beyond the mainstream.
That can't be found on the main drag, no
Emphasis on the elusive nature of what is sought.
Look at you, look at you, look at you
Final observation and questioning of the actions of others, mirroring the earlier verses.
Look at you, suckers
-Does your mama know what you're doin'?
-Look at you, look at you, look at you
-Look at you, suckers
-Does your mama know what you're doin'?
