Theme[]
The theme of this song appears to be about self-reflection and the struggle with one's own flaws and mistakes. The lyrics express a desire to escape from one's own negative thoughts and self-judgment, and to seek external validation and acceptance. The song also touches on themes of jealousy, possessiveness, greed, and hypocrisy. The chorus refers to the metaphorical skeletons in the closet and the desire for absolution or forgiveness.
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Ha-ha-ha
[Chorus]
Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void
[Verse 1]
You're so jealous and possessive
Passive and aggressive
Paranoid and obsessive
You are, you are, you are
Indecisive, pick your lovers like your vices
Yeah, you're always self-righteous
You are, you are, you are
[Pre-chorus]
Never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one
Sorry for the things I've done, I'm done, I'm done
Please let me out this room
Can't be alone with my thoughts no more
Think I got a key but I don't see a door, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void
[Verse 2]
You're so motherfucking greedy
Always stealing from the needy
Break hearts so freely
You are, you are, you are
Fake and cynical, so hypocritical
'Cause you fall so fast and you always get attached
And you cut 'em all out with no trouble at it
[Pre-chorus]
Never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one
Sorry for the things I've done, I'm done, I'm done
Please let me out this room
Can't be alone with my thoughts no more
Think I got a key but I don't see a door, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void
[Intro]
Ha-ha-ha
[Chorus]
Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void
[Verse 1]
You're so jealous and possessive
Passive and aggressive
Paranoid and obsessive
You are, you are, you are
Indecisive, pick your lovers like your vices
Yeah, you're always self-righteous
You are, you are, you are
[Pre-chorus]
Never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one
Sorry for the things I've done, I'm done, I'm done
Please let me out this room
Can't be alone with my thoughts no more
Think I got a key but I don't see a door, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void
[Verse 2]
You're so motherfucking greedy
Always stealing from the needy
Break hearts so freely
You are, you are, you are
Fake and cynical, so hypocritical
'Cause you fall so fast and you always get attached
And you cut 'em all out with no trouble at it
[Pre-chorus]
Never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one
Sorry for the things I've done, I'm done, I'm done
Please let me out this room

[Chorus]
Get me, get me out
I can't stand the mirror
I hear all of my skeletons calling my name
Judge me like a Catholic priest at confession
And give me your blessing to break through the void
