The lyrics of "Spit You Out" by Marion Raven discuss the internal battle that the singer faces when it comes to love. She admits that there is something wrong with her and that she is being controlled by an inner voice. This voice might be telling her to push away anyone who tries to come close to her out of fear of getting hurt. However, in the end, the singer decides to take a chance and let herself be vulnerable. She acknowledges that she might lose her pride, but it is worth the risk to experience love. The repeated line "spin me 'round and 'round, after all said and done, spit you out" emphasizes that the singer is willing to take a risk in love, but she is also prepared to move on if things do not work out.
The lyrics also allude to the idea that the singer might have experienced some form of disappointment or heartache that makes her hesitant to love again. She is torn between "letting love die" and "letting it be," implying that she is not sure what the right decision is when it comes to matters of the heart. The guitar solo towards the end of the song signifies that she is still grappling with her emotions and trying to come to a decision.
