Get Out
♫ The Vines Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Find a way out
Get what you can
Keep your head now
Listen when I sing

C'mon get out outta here
C'mon get out over me
C'mon get out

God don't need ya

Find a home now (A home now)
See where you get (Where you get)
Sleep alone now (Alone now)
Or makin' a friend

C'mon get out outta here
C'mon get out over me
C'mon get out
God don't need ya

I know you're thinking 'bout yourself (About yourself)
Why would you think of no one else? (Of no one else)
I'll keep on movin' with the sound (Vin with the sound)
And sure do hope you come around

C'mon get out outta here
C'mon get out over me
C'mon get out

God don't need ya
Oh get out

Overall Meaning

The Vines's song "Get Out" is a fast-paced and energizing tune that appears to be about moving on from a toxic or negative situation. The opening lines, "Find a way out, get what you can, keep your head now, listen when I sing," suggest that the singer is advising someone to leave a bad situation behind, but to do it strategically and carefully. The repeated refrain of "C'mon get out outta here" underscores the urgency of the situation, while the line "God don't need ya" suggests a kind of cosmic indifference or even judgment.

The second verse seems to suggest that the person leaving might be losing certain comforts or connections in the process - "find a home now, see where you get, sleep alone now, or makin' a friend" - but that the trade-off will ultimately be worth it. The chorus provides a kind of encouragement, insisting that it's time for this person to move on and not look back.
