The Hot Toddies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
Get out of my world
What in the world
Shoeboxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
The ordinary will ignore
Whatever they cannot explain
As if nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again
What in the world
What in the world
What in the world
Get out of my world (What in the world)
Get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Get up, get out, get out get out of my world
Open your mouth now
Secret signs and knowing looks
These sunny days will cook the books
Happy to take the misery
This mortal life can bring to me
Don't like the look of this town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found on unfamilliar playing ground
What in the world
What in my the world
What in the world
(What in the world) what in, get out, get out, get out of my world
What in the world

The Hot Toddies' "Seattle" is a song that expresses a rejection of the status quo and a desire for change. The lyrics seem to express discomfort with the current state of things and a longing for something new and unfamiliar. The repetition of the phrase "what in the world" echoes the sentiment of confusion and frustration with the world around them. The song seems to be a call to action, urging listeners to get up and get out of their current situation.
The first verse suggests that there is something lost in the old town, and that character can only be found in new and unfamiliar places. The second verse seems to suggest a feeling of being trapped or suffocated in one's own mind and body, with the need to break free and find new experiences. The chorus repeats the phrase "get out of my world" as a sort of rallying cry, urging listeners to break free from whatever is holding them back and to seek out new experiences.
