“Zoning Out” is about BoyWithUke’s past home life, and how he finds it hard to move on and/or focus on his present life hence “I’m zoning out” as the main line in the chorus.
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
I recall a time when all I did was sit and swim
I was lost in my head, and I wouldn’t let you in
But we were never hungry and never in despair
And I was always nice 'til I dragged you up the stairs by your hair
[Refrain]
I’m zoning out, I’m zoning out
Woah, yeah
I’m zoning
One, two, three, four
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna talk about it
I got plenty of reason to be in awe off topic
But I’ve been on the road for far too long (Far too long)
I don’t remember much, let’s keep it that way
Keep it outta touch for me
I've been a mess for far too long (Far too long)
[Chorus]
And I feel like that I can try to be the guy that you like
But I don’t know why I feel cold and feel the need to be liked
Oh, my soulless mind, emotionless psychosis, I’m bеlow it
I’m ferociously impotent, undernеath the streetlight, oh
[Verse 2]
Mom and dad would argue
No, dad would yell at mom
And I could hear mom crying
Every night for about a month
But I hear this is normal
I hear from my own head
No, dad was always nice
Except when he wished us all dead
[Refrain]
I’m zoning out, I’m zoning out
Woah, yeah
I’m zoning
One, two, three, four
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna talk about it
14 letters, wish I never heard it
But I’ve been on the road for far too long (Far too long)
I don’t remember much, let’s keep it that way
Keep it outta touch for me
I've been a mess for far too long (Far too long)
[Chorus]
And I feel like that I can try to be the guy that you like
But I don’t know why I feel cold and feel the need to be liked
Oh, my soulless mind, emotionless psychosis, I’m below it
I’m ferociously impotent, underneath the streetlight, oh
