Gotta Get Out

by Tracey Barnett

/

about

With a bit of grunge, a bit of dirt and a healthy dash of push and shove, ‘GOTTA GET OUT’ is the perfect catharsis for the pressures of modern life. Tracey’s distinctive, high-energy brand of blues and roots is perfectly executed with driving guitar rhythms, raucous lap steel, throbbing bass and fearless vocals. Tracey wrote this song whilst dealing with a particularly aggressive bought of anxiety, depression and panic attacks.

lyrics

I feel it taking hold, controlling what it means to be
Ticking away just like a bomb, You know it's got a way with me
I see the warning signs flashing in shades of red
My pulse begins to rise I grip until my nails split

Yeah I gotta get out, I'm gonna get out, get out of here
Hoo oo oo

Feel the pressure, I'm under the thumb, pivoting left to right
Pounding hard on all four walls, the ceiling is coming down
I choke on thinning air, gotta find a way to breathe
There's worse than being trapped alone in here

Yeah I gotta get out, I'm gonna get out, get out of here
Hoo oo oo

I got what it takes and I'm gonna get out
I got what it takes and I'm gonna get out
Have you met me here? Have you seen what I become?
Have you met me here? Have you seen what it has done?
I won't let it take control of my mind
I am a master and I'll take back what is mine
I won't let it take control of my mind
I'll take it back, it is mine!

Yeah I gotta get out, I'm gonna get out, get out of here
Hoo oo oo
