Get Out Lyrics

Oh, my god is gone
And I, I was helped by no one
Oh, I, I've taken what I need
Shut the door, shut the door and I leave
What's in store for me?
Gonna listen and not preach
There will be erased, all mistakes are out
Get out! Get out! Get out!
Oh, and I, now I sit back and watch, watch the sneak attack.
Oh, I could have warned them of the plan
Oh, what fun would that leave for Man?
What's in store for us all?
We're gonna run until we fall.
There will be erased, all mistakes are out.
Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The theme of "Get Out" is of an observer watching religion destroy his life and the world around him so he responds defiantly: "Oh, my god is gone and I, I was helped by no one. Oh, I, I've taken what I need. Shut the door, shut the door and I leave. What's in store for me? Gonna listen and not preach. There will be erased, all mistakes are out! Get out! Get out! Get out!" The fashion in which the singer pronounces "erased" as "e-race-ed" gives the song a blasphemous King James feel which makes me believe the lead singer may be addressing God directly but the line, "gonna listen and not preach" may mean he's directing his accusations toward local religious leaders such as a preacher or minister. Another possible interpretation of this song is along the lines of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" as Satan stands by and watches humanity's struggle in life: "oh, and I, now I sit back and watch, watch the sneak attack. Oh, I could have warned them of the plan. Oh, what fun would that leave for Man? What's in store for us all?"
