Set It Off
Beachbag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All together
Searchin' for a way out
When it's time
Will we know
Or realize
When there's no second chance?
Y'all
Y'all
Y'all
Come on, set if off I suggest, y'all
Set it off I suggest, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on our left, y'all
Set it off on our right, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set if off I suggest, y'all
Set it off I suggest, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on our left, y'all
Set it off on our right, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Do we look
Where is love
There's a gun
Do we search on the phone
Feel the wind
As it blows
And my heart
Says, "The next time I'll know"
Y'all
Y'all
Y'all
Y'all
Come on, set if off I suggest, y'all
Set it off I suggest, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on our left, y'all
Set it off on our right, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set if off I suggest, y'all
Set it off I suggest, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on our left, y'all
Set it off on our right, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Come on, set if off I suggest, y'all
Set it off I suggest, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off (baby)
Set it off on our left, y'all
Set it off on our right, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set if off I suggest, y'all
Set it off I suggest, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on our left, y'all
Set it off on our right, y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
The lyrics of Beachbag's song "Set It Off" depict the search for a way out of a difficult situation that seems to have no second chance. The singer mentions the importance of holding onto friends while searching for a solution. They are aware that time is of the essence and they are uncertain whether they will recognize when the opportunity presents itself. The chorus is repetitive and encourages taking action, the phrase "set it off" is used as a call to take action and initiate changes. The singer asks whether it is worth looking for love when there is a gun involved, showing that there is danger involved in the situation, which makes it even more important to act.
The song seems to be about confronting situations that make people feel trapped, no matter what form they take, whether it is a personal or political issue. It may be referencing the frustration and hopelessness people feel when confronted by social or political systems that seem to limit their abilities to make positive changes. The lyrics of the song offer hope in the sense that the singer suggests that if we take action as a group, positive changes might be possible.
