The lyrics to Sumo Cyco's "Get Off" convey a strong message of empowerment and defiance in the face of those who seek to bring you down or control you. The song begins with the singer being addressed by someone who wants to know her name and what game she's playing. She's called a "silly girl" and told she's got some bad news, presumably because she's not conforming to the expectations of those around her. But the singer isn't content to take this lying down - she responds with a call to arms, chanting "Fire fire! They aim and fire! Higher higher! I will hold my ground, Won't back down." The repeated refrain of "Get off, get off me" serves as a mantra for the singer to reject the negativity and control others are trying to exert over her. She won't wait or stay - she's taking charge of her own life.
The second half of the song continues this theme of standing up for oneself, even in the face of criticism and doubt. The singer is told that her mind has been "polluted" and that she's in a "state of confusion," but again she refuses to give up or give in. She talks about throwing on the water when the fire is too hot, and maintaining order when chaos reigns. The final lines of the song are a triumphant declaration that the singer will not be silenced or diminished: "And I swear it won't be long, Until we detonate this bomb. I swear, I, I swear, I, I swear, I, I swear, I!"
Overall, "Get Off" is an anthem for anyone who has been underestimated or dismissed, but who refuses to give up their power. The lyrics are full of fiery imagery and bold statements, all meant to inspire listeners to stand tall and fight for what they believe in.
