Let It Out!
Greenleaf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They'll pay you by the hour
All these men with power
They'll make you run, they'll make you crawl
Can't wait for you to slip and fall

Let it out tonight  
Just get it out,
Let it out tonight
Hello insane, just pour it out

Let it out tonight  
Just let it out,
Let it out tonight
Lose yourself, just get it out

Whistles blow and the torches glow, can you see it in your head
A final fix and then one last pick before it all turns red

Pretty, passed out on the floor
People passing door to door

Pillowcases made of snow
It's way much colder than before

Let it out tonight
Just let it out,
Let it out tonight
Lose yourself, just let it out

So let it out tonight  
Just let it out,
Let it out tonight
Lose yourself, just let it out

Whistles blow and the torches glow, can you see it in your head
A final fix and then one last pick before it all turns red

Whistles blow and the torches glow, can you see it in your head
A final fix and then one last pick before it all turns red

Let it out tonight
Just let it out,
Let it out tonight
Lose yourself, just let it out
So let it out tonight  
Just let it out,




Let it out tonight
Lose yourself, just let it out
