Spit It Out
Veto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a chance that I might not take the next step
If I take one more I'm afraid that were going to slip
There's a chance that I'll go back to where I were before
I'm afraid that if I stay im going to pull you to the floor

And if you scratch your back
Then I'll scratch mine
And if you mind your thought

Then I'll keep mine
And if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying

You cant find a place on this earth where I will not follow you
But there are countries in your head that I can not travel to

But if you scratch your back
Then I'll scratch mine
And if you mind your thought
Then I'll keep mine
And if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying

Theres a chance that I'll go back to where i were before
I'm afraid that if I stay I'm going to pull you to the floor
I might not always be just the saintly as I would like to be
But I am trying to bring out the best that I have in me

And if you scratch your back
Then I'll scratch mine
And if you mind your thought
Then I'll keep mine
And if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying

I said if you scratch your back
Then I'll scratch mine
And if you mind your thought
Then I'll keep mine

And if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying

Overall Meaning

In Veto's song "Spit It Out", the lyrics depict a desire to maintain a connection with someone despite the fear of slipping or failing. The first verse expresses the fear of taking the next step and potentially leading to a downfall. The second verse recognizes that there may be mental and emotional barriers that cannot be overcome, leading to a feeling of being stuck or unable to travel together in those "countries in your head".

However, the chorus offers a solution through a reciprocal partnership, asking for a fair exchange of effort to maintain the connection. "If you scratch your back, then I'll scratch mine" reveals a willingness to help each other, while "if you keep your fingers crossed, I'll keep trying" shows a determination to keep moving forward. The lyrics acknowledge that maintaining a relationship takes effort and compromise, but ultimately convey a desire to do so despite the challenges.

Overall, "Spit It Out" speaks to the complexities of human relationships and the hard work required to maintain them.

Line by Line Meaning

There's a chance that I might not take the next step
I'm hesitant to move forward because I'm afraid of what might happen

If I take one more I'm afraid that we're going to slip
If I take another step, we might lose our balance and fall

There's a chance that I'll go back to where I was before
I might regress to my previous state of being

I'm afraid that if I stay I'm going to pull you to the floor
If I stay, I might bring you down with me

And if you scratch your back
If you do something for me

Then I'll scratch mine
I will do something for you in return

And if you mind your thought
If you keep your thoughts to yourself

Then I'll keep mine
I won't share my thoughts either

And if you keep your fingers crossed
If you hope for the best

I'll keep trying
I will keep putting in effort
