Exit Song
Naomi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show us a lake, show us the sea
It might be fake, but it's for free
Throw us a bone here, kick us a can
And then you won't see us again

Show us the sky, give us a lead
A perfect lie is all we need
Slip us a pill that lets us feel near
And then we will be out of here





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Naomi's song "Exit Song" convey a sense of dissatisfaction with the realities of life, and a desire to escape from them. The opening lines ask for the comfort of the natural world, but with a sense of cynicism; the beauty of a lake or sea might be artificial or simulated, but the idea of it is still appealing. The following lines suggest a need for something more substantial, but only in the form of a brief distraction ("Throw us a bone here, kick us a can"). The refrain is an explicit request for an exit strategy ("And then you won't see us again").


The second verse suggests a desperation for escape from more intellectual pursuits, with a demand for a "perfect lie" to provide relief from reality. The image of a "pill that lets us feel near" could be interpreted in a number of ways - as a literal pharmaceutical escape, or as a metaphor for any substance or activity that offers a temporary respite from the difficulties of existence.


Overall, the lyrics of "Exit Song" express a sense of disillusionment and a dim view of the world, with a longing for an ultimate exit that would provide relief from it all.
