Out of the Darkness Lyrics
Out of the darkness out of the dustcloud
Follow the thread and then trace your way free
Your father, your mother have bound you in darkness
Have blinded you sweetly and so far from me
They cannot abide me, your father and mother
But they cannot divide me from the one other than me
Only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Now come to the window, now wipe away raindrops
See there a scarecrow who waves through the mist
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
Only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Your mother, your father, they live in their heart break
They remember each other and they turn you from me
Your mother, your father they hate me for your sake
But they cannot divide us, no I won't let it be
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
The only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
The only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Follow the thread and then trace your way free
Your father, your mother have bound you in darkness
Have blinded you sweetly and so far from me
They cannot abide me, your father and mother
But they cannot divide me from the one other than me
Only one other has meaning for me
See there a scarecrow who waves through the mist
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
They remember each other and they turn you from me
Your mother, your father they hate me for your sake
But they cannot divide us, no I won't let it be
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me

Come on, yinz guys!
I say that it's clear this one is about loving somebody whose parents don't love you. That significant other may love you back but it's hard because that person may feel that they've got to either fight their parents or reject you.
The main character is saying don't give in to your parents, or perhaps even further, don't be swayed by other people: they can't separate us, I won't let it happen, keep the faith in us.
A point of interest is that these lyrics do not specify that this significant other is a female. By saying the door opens both ways, the door opens outward, this may well be alluding to same sex love, and all its associated challenges.
Your father and mother... remember each other and tear you from me. Perhaps because you and me are different than that father and mother paradigm.
Somebody else may have a better grasp of writing and interpretation of the lyrical genius this group kicks out just as easy as they do great riffs.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
