Gotta get away Lyrics
Artist(Band):Offspring
Getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and they're closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One bad habit that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm gonna roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Tell you something, just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
There's a reason, don't you know?
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground
Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm gonna roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
whoa...whoa...
whoa...whoa...
Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
think I'm gonna roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me

Review about Gotta get away
Two Cents and respect | Reviewer: Nyarlathotep | 6/25/09
The Offspring were one of the first bands I really started to get into and this song, Gotta Get Away, is one of the first songs that spoke to me in any real fashion. I've given the lyrics much thought over the years, this song has been a continued one on all my playlists and I believe it isn't about any single topic, not drugs, not love, not mnetal illness, nor any combination. I have begun to believe it is spoken to the listener in a voice that almost everyone can relate to, I believe it is about the idea that we are all our own enemies and not matter what vice or issue you have you feel the need to get away from yourself and/or the subject in question, these feelings cause paranoia and general fear, confusion and self-loathing, all of which are included in the songs lines in equal amounts. Be it crack, a bad break up or work related stress we all have night were we are sitting on the bed and lying wide awake and most people have demons in their head that are more than they can take. The lyrics are sublime in a paranoid ideal.
Ah. | Reviewer: Broken (Inside & Out) | 5/3/09
Could be love, paranoia, drugs, or anything, but what really screams to me is the "over my shoulder is a big mistake". Bottom line -- whatever it is, he is blaming whatever that mistake is for what's happening to him.
I relate, too... but not because of paranoia. Something more terrifying... brilliant song.
its the same problem that i have | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/30/08
and the same problem that im trying to get rid of, im paranoid all the time due to my work, i have irregular sleeping habits, im edgy all the time, i know exactly what he is talking about.
Great song
Uppers | Reviewer: Erica | 12/9/07
Totally sounds like a bad habit needing to be kicked...DRUGS specifically meth. cant sleep, paranoid, too fast or a bit too slow, the walls are closing in..yeah. sounds familiar.
Drugs | Reviewer: Mike Rein | 7/8/07
Its about meth or crack.
{I'm} getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and they're closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One bad habit that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sounds just like a crack head.
