They attracted record company interest and signed for small Dutch label Ebony Tears in November 2003.

A distribution deal was made with Rough Trade Records to bring the new album to music stores in Benelux on October 26, 2007.

Get Out
Nemesea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There will be freedom in your life
If you want it, want it
Come on and take, take it now
Take, take it
Proclaim your words hold the truth
While you′re simply selling lies
Come on and take, take it now
Take, take it
Prepare
Beware
No time to hesitates
Evolve
Dissolve
Now it's time to
Hold on and...
Get out, break out all the way
Get out, break out unafraid
Go
You need to bare your own cross
And reigh over your own life
If you want it, want it
Come on and take, take it now
Take, take it
Prepare
Beware
No time to hesitates
Evolve
Dissolve
Now it′s time to
Hold on and...
Get out, break out all the way
Get out, break out unafraid
Go
I will leave it all behind
I am on my way today
Now i'm making up my mind
This rise will leave today so...
Hold on and...
Get out, break out all the way
Get out, break out unafraid
Go
Get out, break out all the way
Get out, break out today
The lyrics of Nemesea's song "Get Out" are a message of empowerment and encouragement to take control of one's life. The first verse talks about how someone who lives without sin will have freedom in their life. This can be interpreted in different ways depending on one's beliefs, but it generally means that when you live with integrity and without causing harm to others, you will experience a sense of liberation. The second verse calls out people who claim to hold the truth but are actually selling lies. This could be a criticism of religious or political leaders who manipulate their followers. The chorus is a call to action, urging the listener to break out of their limitations and take charge of their life.
The bridge of the song has a sense of urgency, with the repetition of "prepare, beware, no time to hesitate, evolve, dissolve." This could mean that the time to change is now, and there's no room for hesitation. The final verse talks about leaving things behind and making up one's mind to take action. The repetition of "get out, break out all the way" reinforces the message of taking control and shedding limitations.
Overall, "Get Out" is a powerful song about empowerment and taking action to improve one's life.
