Get Out
Go Betty Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You didn't know quite what you've done
All you know is you've got a gun
You gotta get out-get out
She called you in a rush
Your girl screaming about the gun
Telling you to call it off
Look boy you gotta get away now
The friends you had set you up
I told you from the very start
Don't get yourself all involved
And not they set you up.
You know you've been set up
You know they set you up
He used to come by every night
Smoke out and watch the fight
Two years he led the lie
You gotta get out-get out
Dead boy you gotta make a break now
(they're headed for your place)
The guy you trust set you up
(You know they had you all along)
I told you from the very start
(It's true)
Don't get yourself all involved
(You did)
And now they set you up
You know you've been set up
You know they set you up
If there was something on your mind
When catching twitches in his eyes
Deep down inside was it all wrong?
You knew they had you all along.
The song "Get Out" by Go Betty Go tells the story of someone who got involved in a dangerous situation, perhaps involving drugs or illegal activities. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been set up and is now in danger, as they're being pursued by someone with a gun. The urgency in the lyrics is palpable, with the repeated refrain of "You gotta get out-get out" adding to the sense of danger and tension.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust. This is evident in lines such as "The guy you trust set you up" and "Two years he led the lie." The lyrics suggest that the singer had suspicions that something wasn't right, but perhaps ignored those feelings until it was too late. This is suggested in the final verse when it asks: "If there was something on your mind when catching twitches in his eyes, deep down inside was it all wrong?"
Overall, "Get Out" tells a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved in illegal activities and the importance of trusting your instincts when something doesn't feel right.
