Out of Tune
Finding Harmony Amidst Chaos: Sarah McLachlan's "Out of Tune
Lyrics
Behind our door, there's no war
Within the confines of our home, there's no conflict or war.
No burning towers, just hours of peace
No monumental disasters, just peaceful moments between us, devoid of turmoil.
Between us at least, no pretense, no violence
There's no falseness or aggression between us; there's genuine peace.
Makes no sense
The absence of conflict doesn't make sense.
It isn't my heart that's grown cold
The emotional detachment isn't from my heart; it's the repetition of the same mistakes that has become tiresome.
The same mistakes are getting old
Repeating the same errors has become wearisome.
I'm lost for words, I don't know what to do
I'm unable to express myself; I'm at a loss for what to do.
When I'm lying here with you
In this moment with you, when the world seems chaotic, I'm unsure.
And the whole world's out of tune
The world feels dissonant and out of harmony.
You're the one and only voice that makes things right
Your voice is the only one that brings things back to normalcy.
So stay with me tonight
So, I ask you to stay with me tonight.
Behind our door, there's no hunger
Within our sanctuary, there's no hunger or desperation.
No one trying to sell me heaven
No one attempting to manipulate or sell me false hope.
Just loving arms, it's just tonight
Just your loving embrace in this present moment.
And I don't want to hear about our trying times
I don't want to hear about the difficulties we face.
Don't wanna know 'bout lost children
I don't want to hear about children who are lost or missing.
About someone held for ransom
I don't want to hear about someone being held for ransom.
It isn't my heart that's grown cold
The emotional detachment isn't from my heart; it's the repetition of the same mistakes that has become tiresome.
The same mistakes are getting old
Repeating the same errors has become wearisome.
I'm lost for words, I don't know what to do
I'm unable to express myself; I'm at a loss for what to do.
When I'm lying here with you
In this moment with you, when the world seems chaotic, I'm unsure.
And the whole world's out of tune
The world feels dissonant and out of harmony.
You're the one and only voice that makes things right
Your voice is the only one that brings things back to normalcy.
So stay with me tonight
So, I ask you to stay with me tonight.
I hope we can rise above
I hope we can transcend above our current situation of hopelessness.
And despair will end
I hope that the feeling of despair will eventually fade away.
Another time we'll bend the rules
There will be a time in the future when we will defy the norms or restrictions.
We'll bend the rules, bend the rules
We'll break the rules to find resolution.
When I'm lying here with you
In this moment with you, when the world seems chaotic, I'm unsure.
And the whole world's out of tune
The world feels dissonant and out of harmony.
You're the one and only voice that makes things right
Your voice is the only one that brings things back to normalcy.
So stay with me tonight
So, I ask you to stay with me tonight.
