Get out of Town
The All Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The curtains drawn,
And I at least pretended
That love was dead and gone.
But now, from nowhere,
You come to me as before
To take my heart,
Get out of town
Before it's too late, my love.
Get out of town,
Be good to mister please!
Why wish me harm?
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees?
Just disappear,
I care for you much too much,
And when you are near,
Close to me dear,
We touch too much!
The thrill when we meet
Is so bitter-sweet
That, darling, it's getting me down;
So on your mark,
Get set,
Get out of town!
The lyrics to "Get out of Town" by The All Stars convey a sense of heartbreak and the conflicting emotions that arise when an ex-lover unexpectedly reenters one's life. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the end of a farcical relationship, pretending that love was dead and gone. However, the situation takes a turn when their former partner unexpectedly returns, rekindling feelings and reopening emotional wounds. The singer pleads for them to leave town before it's too late, urging them to be good to someone else.
The lyrics imply a complexity of emotions that the singer experiences. On one hand, they express a desire for their ex to find happiness elsewhere, perhaps in a quiet rural setting. They hint at a fear of being hurt again and a longing for a sense of stability and tranquility. At the same time, though, the singer reveals their deep care and lingering affection for the person in question, confessing that being in proximity to them creates an overwhelming connection that is hard to resist despite the pain it brings.
Line by Line Meaning
The farce was ended,
The pretense of our love being over has come to an end.
The curtains drawn,
The performance is over and the stage is empty.
And I at least pretended
I, at least, put on a facade.
That love was dead and gone.
That our love had died and disappeared.
But now, from nowhere,
But now, unexpectedly,
You come to me as before
You return to me just like old times
To take my heart,
To capture my emotions
And break my heart once more.
And shatter my heart once again.
Get out of town
Leave this place
Before it's too late, my love.
Before it reaches a point of no return, my love.
Get out of town,
Depart from here,
Be good to mister please!
Show kindness to someone else, please!
Why wish me harm?
Why desire to hurt me?
Why not retire to a farm
Why not retreat to a peaceful place
And be contented to charm
And be satisfied with captivating
The birds off the trees?
The birds that rest on the trees?
Just disappear,
Simply vanish,
I care for you much too much,
I have too strong of feelings for you,
And when you are near,
And when you are close,
Close to me dear,
Near to my heart
We touch too much!
We have too much physical contact!
The thrill when we meet
The excitement when we reunite
Is so bitter-sweet
Is a mix of pleasure and pain
That, darling, it's getting me down;
That, my dear, it's starting to have a negative effect on me;
So on your mark,
Therefore, be ready,
Get set,
Prepare yourself,
Get out of town!
Leave this place!

Lyrics: | "All Star" - Smash Mouth. |
Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an L on her forehead
Well, the years start coming
And they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart
But your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now
But wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water is getting warm
So you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it
And I never get bored
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Somebody once asked
Could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place
I said: Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming
And they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart
But your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold. END.

Nothing but nostalgia, innocence of childhood, and Shrek would popup in my head when hearing this song.
