Out
Jason and Michelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something must have happened to both of us
Something must have happened
Something always does
Something must have told you "burn the bridges then the ?"
Something always told you to do it

I lived low enough so the moon wouldn't waste it's light on me
What's left in this life that would do the same for me
Something must have only loved one of us
To say "Get out, get out, get out

Get out, while there's still something left of us




Get out, get out, get out"
Get out, get out, get out"

Overall Meaning

In Jason and Michelle's song Out, the lyrics discuss a relationship that has come to an end. The first stanza highlights the idea that something must have happened that led to the downfall of the relationship. It mentions the possibility that both parties may have contributed to the relationship's demise, but often, something always does. The second stanza suggests that one party may have taken drastic action, "burning the bridges," which may have led to the eventual separation. The lyrics also touch on the idea that something had told them to do it, perhaps a gut feeling or intuition.


The third stanza reveals the singer's vulnerability and despair after the end of the relationship. They mention living low enough that the moon wouldn't waste its light on them, a metaphor for feeling unimportant or unworthy. The lyrics go on to ask what else is there in life for them if even the moon, a symbol of beauty and wonder, does not shine on them. The final stanza speaks on the idea that perhaps only one party loved the other. The repeated phrase, "get out," could be seen as a plea or a command to leave the situation before more damage is done.

Almost definitely can understand what this young woman is going through. I experienced a similar situation with my mother in a small town the past 2 years. But because I was dealing with a brother who was a commissioner, ended up being able to steal everything my mother had then didn't want me to have guardianship. I finally ran out of money and had to stop. So when this woman is explaining she's coming up against a well oiled machine it's much more powerful than what I dealt with. But I know that I know, judgment are on these evil people and I pray that this young lady gets a lawyer who knows his business and who's not afraid of anybody. I truly believe that is going to happen now or depending on how God works it out. They could just show up tomorrow morning with her son. She will get just Justice and she will have her son.

This is heartbreaking. I pray she regains custody of her child and get support & counseling.

God knew this all was going to happen before it did...people like Michelle are considered strong and a leader. She was Chosen for this. She will win in the end because of Who appointed her to do this. โค

I just wanna say I appreciate as well the work you guys do, in exposing evil and helping people affected by it, as you are here. The work you do is really needed in our society today. GBY

Some of you are so insensitive. If you haven't had depression, you
don't understand "the dark hole." And she was dealing with post partum and spiritual manipulation. These things can have a hold on the mind. This story might seem unreal, but I believe her. I loved how she mentioned her children, the fathers and how she is not ashamed that she have five children. Whether you look down on her because of that, the issue is what she has been through, causing someone to be raising her child. Some of you need to try being more compassionate. I wish her well and I hope she can get her son back.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

The black hole is real. I lost 3 family members. I felt exactly the same. It's scary. And hard getting out. Took me years .
