Casablancas, Julian - Out Of The Blue Lyrics






Somewhere along the way my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way my sadness turned to bitterness
Somewhere along the way my bitterness turned to anger
Somewhere along the way my anger turned to vengeance

And the ones that I make pay
Are never the ones who deserve it
And the ones who deserve it they'll never understand it
Yes, I know I am going to hell in a purple basket
At least I will be in another world, while you're pissing on my casket

How could you be Oh
So perfect for me? Oh
Why can't you ignore Oh
The things I did before? Oh

Somewhere along the way exacting vengeance gave excitement
Somewhere along the way that excitement turned to pleasure
Somewhere along the way that pleasure turned to madness
Sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain

And the ones that I made pay were never ones who deserved it
Those who helped me along the way, I smacked them as I thanked them
Yes, I know I am going to hell in a leather jacket
At least I will be in another world, while you're pissing on my casket

All that I can do now is sing a song of faded glory
And all you got to do is sit there, look great, and make them horny
Together we will sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
About the way we feel today, and tonight and in the morning

How could you be Oh
So perfect for me? Oh
Why can't you ignore Oh
The things I did before? Oh

And take all your fears
And pretend there all true
And take all your plans
And pretend they fell through
And that's what it's like Oh
That's what it's like for most people in this world

The rich or the poor, oh
Muslims or Jews, oh
When roles are reversed, oh
Opinions are too, oh

That's all I'm gonna say now
Right before they come knocking on my door now

Casablancas, Julian Out Of The Blue Comments
  1. J.... O....

    I didn’t know this song was in the VD

  2. C.... G....

    Julian Casablancas is for me the Best musician to ever have existed in my lifetime so far. He (and his band members) have exceeded my highest expectations of fucking sick music. If I was a king I would issue an award, like the Queens Knighthood but limited to just one person, Julian Casablancas. I wonder what all the thumbs down people like?... shuch a shame. Well I am one of the 8900 people who gave it a thumbs up, even though this deserves at least a golden thumbs up button.

  3. H.... M....

    I love all of you <3

  4. e.... ....

    THATS WHAT ITS LIKE FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD

  9. C.... A....

    Fucking good song man

  10. B.... S....

    it feels like the music is just a backdrop for the vocals. i could never match it in a million years, which is something all critiques should mention. especially the ones in Rolling Stone. they wrote of lyricist of Counting Crows, "Alex fancies himself a transcendental poet," which must have hurt like hell, that critics envy. granted, he's no Arthur Rimbaud, in more sense than one, but his voice singing those lyrics to that music in August and Everything After did create something transcendent. Julian? He reminds of a line from the Johnny Cash movie: "Your sound is stead as a freight train because you can't play any better?" Yeah, right.

  11. M.... R....

    Esta canción expone en parte cómo podemos ser nosotros presos del rencor

    Most of Julian's songs are for who understand the world.
    So I would say who liked his songs, they have wise thoughts to consider.

  22. t.... ....

    This record makes me so happy. Reminds of cruising around in my senior year of HS, getting high for the first time and crying at how beautiful his lyrics are

  23. N.... M....

  24. N.... ....

    Social Distortion melody with Johnny Cash style dark lyrics. I like it.

  25. J.... R....

    July 17 is not only the anniversary of when this song was released to the public, but also when the love of my life left. It still to this day keeps me from ever really truly giving my all

    Julian Casablancas this sounds like the song I wrote with My Band Soundgarden Black Hole Sun 🦄💕🦄

  47. K.... C....

    This is one of my favorite songs ever written!!! love 💕 u Julian Casablancas

  48. J.... C....

    Julian Casablancas and his music will always hold a special time of my life, this song is definitely on the soundtrack of my life... it’s that good, right below River of Brakelights and 11th Dimension. Every song is better than the last... anyone else agree?

    J.... C....

    Julian Casablancas the very ending of this one and 11th dimension is very beautiful and touching with that final guitar melody...but the best song ever HAS to Be Dare i Care by the voidz! It’s deep too deep and full of emotions just like river of brakelights.

  49. J.... L....

    The best Strokes songs the Strokes didn’t play.

  50. M.... ....

    2018 ? Alguém 🇧🇷

  51. T.... ....

    Honestly prefer it on .75x

  52. G.... l....

    LYRICS:

    Somewhere along the way, my hopefulness turned to sadness
    Somewhere along the way, my sadness turned to bitterness
    Somewhere along the way, my bitterness turned to anger
    Somewhere along the way, my anger turned to vengeance

    And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
    And the ones who deserved it, they'll never understand it.
    Yes, I know I'm going to Hell in a leather jacket
    Least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket

    How could you be, oh
    So perfect for me?
    Why can't you ignore, oh
    The things I did before?

    Somewhere along the way, exacting vengeance gave excitement
    Somewhere along the way, that excitement turned to pleasure
    Somewhere along the way, that pleasure turned to madness
    But sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain

    And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
    Those who helped me along the way, I smacked 'em as I thanked 'em
    Yes, I know I'm going to Hell in a leather jacket
    'Least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket

    Opinions are too
    No, oh oh

    That's all I'm gonna say now
    Before they come knocking on my door now

  53. D.... T....

    Okay I'm officially Gay....

    D.... T....

    Put yourself in an oven.

  54. X.... A....

    The reason the strokes and Julian didn't make it big is because these lyrics are talking shot about money and power and the people at the top

    X.... A....

    Haha, The strokes are definitely big.

  55. b.... ....

    i just heard this for the first time and i just dont know what to say... amazing. fucking amazing.

  56. M.... R....

    Yes I know I’m going to hell in a leather jacket, at least I’ll be in another world while you’re pissing on my casket

  59. T.... H....

    The most profound lyric in the song “When Roles Are Reversed, Opinions Are Too.”

  60. T.... G....

    Lol jeez I remember listening to this while playing Runescape and Grandchase

    It’s almost been 10 years since.

    Time flies

  61. A.... C....

    Yes I know I'm going to hell in a leather jacket.

  62. J.... E....

    C.... G....

    unervartet- unexpectantly= out of the blue

  82. N.... ....

    i love it

  83. E.... M....

    The perfect song for me.

  84. B.... P....

    I liked this guy in hs who never even paid attention to me, and I would stalk him on his social media (ik, creepy lmao), and I saw he liked all these bands like the strokes, and others. I'm so glad I had a crush on that guy because if I hadn't, I don't think I would've discovered the Strokes like I did. Maybe I would've heard of them, but I don't think I would've cared to try them out. By listening to the strokes, I got introduced to so many other great bands. So basically, to the guy who never paid attention to me in hs, thanks.

    B.... P....

    I love your comment, something similar happened to me! Well, I wish you all the best dear stranger! (:

    B.... P....

    Hell Yeah!! It's all meant to be!!!

    B.... P....

    You were meant to be obsessed with that guy, shits crazy

    B.... P....

    THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!! I just now discovered the Voidz, the Strokes, and lovely Julain Casablancas because of a huge crush I had last semester on a guy in French class. I had to see why he liked it, to see what his mind was like. If I had never had a freaking crush, I never would've found out about all this wonderful music.

  85. J.... ....

    Comment 666...why not

  89. e.... ....

    what is the meaning of this song for you guys?

  90. F.... A....

    THE VD
    1*11 :)

  91. R.... ....

    I really wish the ending melody went on for like 6-7 years instead of 11 seconds

    R.... ....

    Keith Dilena it did for me

    R.... ....

    it's so melancholic :(

  92. W.... W....

    This sounds like a Johnny Cash song - I absolutely hate it, there is nothing fun about this song.
