"Out of My Mind" by Kanye West feat. Tobi Lou catches the dizzy rush of new attraction after a long dry spell. The repeated disbelief, that this can't be real and the eyes can't be trusted, frames love as something almost hallucinatory. Kanye admits he has failed too many times before, yet he is already bargaining, offering money and asking for a city he can't go, desperate to keep this chance alive. The swagger about being too handsome hides a quieter fear that this feeling might slip away again.
Out of My Mind Lyrics by Kanye West
(Feat. Tobi Lou)
One, two, three
This can’t be real
I can’t believe my eyes
This can’t be real
I can’t believe my eyes
Must be out of my mind
I ain’t felt this way in a long time
I can’t believe my eyes
Too many tries
Must be out of my mind
I ain’t felt this way in a long time
I can’t believe my eyes
Too many tries
Fell in love with the bad walk
She don’t care if athlete’s champs or the rapper’s platinum
Let me know your feelings on me if you have some
She pretty and thick, I’m way too handsome
C’mon, baby, give me a hand, woah
I’ll give you a band if you tell me a city I can’t go
Well, gotta get this, I can’t blow this
A whole ‘nother level you can’t go
I must be out of my mind
I ain’t felt this way in a long time
I can’t believe my eyes
Too many tries
I must be out of my mind
I ain’t felt this way in a long time
I can’t believe my eyes
Too many tries
