Getaway
Saint Motel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands in the air
Nobody needs to get hurt
She is my lady in gold
And we'll go all the way, all the way

Close up the safe
It's time that we disappear
We'll tell your friends we got lost

Let's make our getaway, getaway

Now
Let's make our getaway, getaway
Now
Let's make our getaway, getaway

Hand on my heart
I led a full life of crime
But I would give it all back
For you I'd find a way, find a way

Leaving behind
Tonight we're Bonnie and Clyde
We'll take our chance on the run
Let's make our getaway, getaway

Now
I know a safe house where we can stay
We need to leave before it's too late

Getaway, getaway

Now
Yeah let's go all the way, all the way
Now
Let's make our getaway, getaway
Now
Yeah let's go all the way, all the way
Now
Let's make our getaway, getaway

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go

Let's make our getaway, getaway
Getaway, getaway
Getaway, getaway
Now

Getaway, getaway
Let's make our getaway, getaway

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Saint Motel's "Getaway" describe a rebellious, carefree spirit who is ready to leave her past behind and start over with her partner. The lyrics paint a picture of two lovers who have been involved in criminal activity and are now on the run. They are ready to do whatever it takes to escape their old lives and start anew. The opening lines "Hands in the air, Nobody needs to get hurt" signify that they see their escape plan as a heist, but instead of stealing something they are stealing their freedom and a new beginning.

The chorus of the song "Let's make our getaway, getaway" is repeated throughout the song and serves as a call to action for them to leave their past behind and make their escape. The lyrics also reference Bonnie and Clyde, portraying the two lovers as a modern-day version of the infamous outlaws. The line "I led a full life of crime, but I would give it all back, for you I'd find a way, find a way" reveals that the singer is willing to leave behind a life full of bad choices and is ready to start fresh for her partner.

Overall, Saint Motel's "Getaway" is a song about taking chances and starting over. The lyrics showcase the feeling of being trapped and the need for a new beginning. The song's pulsating beat and catchy melody make it the perfect anthem for those who are ready to leave their past behind and start anew.

Line by Line Meaning

Hands in the air
Let's celebrate and have fun

Nobody needs to get hurt
We will not harm anyone

She is my lady in gold
I am in love with this beautiful woman

And we'll go all the way, all the way
We will go to great lengths to be together

Close up the safe
Secure our valuables

It's time that we disappear
We need to leave without being noticed

We'll tell your friends we got lost
We will pretend to be missing

Let's make our getaway, getaway
Let's leave and escape our problems

Hand on my heart
I am serious about us

I led a full life of crime
I had a troubled past

But I would give it all back
I would change everything for you

For you I'd find a way, find a way
I will do whatever it takes to make things work

Leaving behind
Leaving our past behind

Tonight we're Bonnie and Clyde
We will stick together and support each other no matter what

We'll take our chance on the run
We are willing to take risks to start a new life together

Now I know a safe house where we can stay
I have everything planned out

We need to leave before it's too late
We need to act quickly

Let's make our getaway, getaway
Let's leave everything behind and start fresh

Let's go all the way, all the way
Let's commit to each other completely

Getaway, getaway
Escape from our current situation

Now
Right now, this moment

It's that guitar solo that does it for me. So low key at first, then the theme returns, and then it just erupts all over your face.

Im not like, insulted they got here through david dobrik's ad (i mean i first heard my type on a furniture store commercial and have loved saint motel since), but i do think saint motel deserves to be like a thousand times more popular than they are. At the same time, as long as they keep making good music and are happy doing it, who am i to complain?
