Get Out
Nigels11 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From one place to another
And it's what we would say
If we were underwater
Headed down now
You better get a life line
Cause when you try sometimes
Just get out
There′s people walking around
As if they're total strangers
Some are talking out loud
Whose attitudes in danger
Get around now
I"m headed for the white light
Cause when you try sometimes
To make up your mind
Just get out
And now, like that bitter little taste inside my mouth
I liked it better when I'm spitting it out
Tried to flush it away
Cause all my demons had to get out
Uncertain faces appear
By mass communication
And I′ve tried not to fear
My crazy reputation
Brought about by
Unbreakable inside
Cause when you try sometimes
To make up your mind
Just get out
And now, like that bitter little taste inside my mouth
I liked it better when I′m spitting it out
Tried to flush it away
Cause all my demons had to get out
Cause when you try sometimes
To make up your mind
Just get out
And now, like that bitter little taste inside my mouth
I liked it better when I'm spitting it out
Tried to flush it away
Cause all my demons had to get out
I can′t help but to comply
To all your regulations
With a critical eye
In certain situations
To believe you
I'm laughing on the inside
Cause when the ground feels like
It′s upside down
Just get out
It's when you cry so hard
To relieve your scars
Just get out
And when you try sometimes
To make up your mind
Just get out
The song "Get Out" by Nigels11 seems to be about feeling disconnected from the world and the people around you. The first verse talks about drifting away from one place to another, as if the singer is aimlessly floating around without a clear sense of direction. The reference to being underwater suggests a feeling of being trapped or suffocated, perhaps symbolizing the suffocating feeling of anxiety or depression. The line "you better get a life line" could be interpreted both literally (as in grabbing onto a rope or something to pull oneself out of the water) or metaphorically (as in reaching out for help or support). The chorus "just get out" seems to be a call to action, urging the listener to leave behind their doubts, fears, and negative emotions and move forward.
The second verse focuses on the idea of feeling disconnected from others. The singer observes people walking around "as if they're total strangers" and notes that some "are talking out loud" in a way that suggests they might be struggling with their own issues. The line "I'm headed for the white light" could be interpreted as a reference to death or just a desire to escape from the chaos and confusion of everyday life. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the importance of leaving behind negative thoughts and emotions.
The third verse seems to echo the themes of the first verse, with the mention of "uncertain faces" and a desire to avoid fear and negativity. The line "all my demons had to get out" perhaps suggests the purging of negative thoughts and emotions in order to move on and let go of the past. The final lines of the song seem to offer a glimmer of hope, with the idea of "crying hard to relieve your scars" and "make up your mind" suggesting that through introspection and self-awareness, one can overcome their doubts and fears and move forward.
