Metz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't move, I can't stand
I got gotta gotta gotta
I gotta get, I gotta get away,
I get away
Got nothing on,
Something missing the..apart
I gotta gotta gotta gotta
I gotta get away, I gotta get away
I get away,
I gotta get away

The repetition of “I gotta get away, I gotta get away, I get away” emphasizes the urgency of the need to escape.
The line “Got nothing on, something missing the..apart” suggests that the singer is feeling empty and disconnected from themselves or their surroundings. The use of fragmented language also adds to the sense of disorientation and confusion in the midst of their distress.
