Out of Sight grabs our attention right out of the gate with the upbeat flow of the music. Once the artist begins singing, we're sucked in yet again by the relatable lyrics. The title and the lyrics help the listener connect the song to the saying "Out of sight, out of mind." The basis of the song is that moving on after heartbreak can be easier if we can't find our ex or if they simply aren't around. We're given powerful lyrics like "You love the feeling / But don't like me." This lets the listener feel the ache of heartbreak for the smallest of moments. The song continues and says "Out of sight / Out of mind / Easy to heal when you're hard to find / Left to decide, I have no choice but to move on." We then experience the power that we hold after heartbreak, the choice to move past it most of the time for the better.
The beat of the song does a great job of setting the mood to feel something like sarcastic empowerment. This in no way is a bad thing; it makes the song that much more relatable. This particular mood resonates with those who have experienced heartbreak and know that most of the time, you want 'the best for your ex' we all know what that really means. The guitar elevates this song and gives it the perfect amount of power pertaining to the matter at hand. When these elements are paired with the artist's voice, it not only makes the song beautiful to listen to, but it also brings the message full circle. The artist's pitch makes the song flow in a way that was necessary for it to impact the listeners.
