Outcast
Unrequited Despair: The Outcast's Cry in The Animals' Melody
Lyrics
Girl, what have I done?
Expressing confusion and regret, questioning actions that led to mistreatment.
For you to mistreat me this way
Reflecting on being mistreated and seeking understanding for the reasons behind it.
I'm left out of everything
Feeling excluded from various aspects of life, possibly due to mistreatment.
Each and every day i'm just an outcast
Describing a continuous state of being an outcast, isolated from others.
I don´t know how long I'm goin' to last
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of the challenging situation.
Lord, when will it be over
Pleading for relief and questioning when the difficult times will end.
Baby, come on and help me discover
Requesting support and assistance in understanding the situation.
I guess I've got to do my best
Acknowledging the need to give one's best despite the difficulties.
But my girl gives me unhappiness
Expressing dissatisfaction and unhappiness in the relationship.
Lord, no matter how hard I try
Highlighting persistent efforts to improve the situation, despite challenges.
Tears keep comin' down from my eyes
Conveying ongoing emotional pain through the continuous flow of tears.
I'm just an outcast
Reiterating the sense of being an outcast in a repetitive and enduring manner.
I don't know how long I´m gonna last
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of the outcast status.
Lord, when will it be over
Repeating the plea for relief and questioning when the challenging times will end.
Baby, come on and help me discover
Renewing the request for support and assistance in understanding the situation.
You know, I'm just a young boy
Describing the speaker as a young boy and emphasizing mistreatment.
But she treats me like last year's toy
Comparing the mistreatment to being treated like an old or discarded object.
I want her, for myself
Expressing a desire to have the person exclusively for oneself.
I want her and nobody else
Reiterating the exclusivity of the desire for the person.
I'm just an outcast
Reaffirming the feeling of being an outcast despite the desire for exclusivity.
Don't know how long I can last
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of enduring the outcast status.
Oh, when will it be over
Repeating the plea for relief and questioning when the challenging times will end.
Baby, come on and help me discover
Renewing the request for support and assistance in understanding the situation.
I'm just an outcast - waauuggh! -
Reiterating the feeling of being an outcast with a vocal expression (waauuggh!).
An' I don't know how long I can last - ow! -
Repeating uncertainty about the duration of enduring the outcast status with vocal expression (ow!).
I think I can make it -
Expressing a belief in the ability to overcome challenges.
I've got to try and make it - waauuggh!
Reiterating the determination to try and overcome challenges with vocal expression (waauuggh!).
