Halestorm - I Get Off Lyrics

Artist: Halestorm

Album: Halestorm

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Howard Benson, Dana D Calitri, Elizabeth Mae Hale, Nina Meryl Ossoff, Kathy Maria Sommer

You don't know that I know you watch me every night
And I just can't resist the urge to stand here in the light
You're greedy eyes upon me and then I come undone
And I could close the curtains but this too much fun

I get off on you getting off on me
I give you what you want but nothing is for free
It's a give and take kinda life we make
When your line is crossed I get off, I get off

So much left unspoken between the two of us
It's so much more exciting to look when you can touch
You could say I am different and maybe I'm afraid
But I know how to twist ya to bring you to your knees

I get off on you getting off on me
I give you what you want but nothing is for free
It's a give and take kinda life we make
When your line is crossed I get off, I get off

But you don't know but you can't see
It's what you forgive out here for me

I get off on you getting off on me
I give you what you want, yeah

I get off on you getting off on me
I give you what you want but nothing is for free
It's a give and take, kinda life we make
When your line is crossed I get off
I get off, I get off, I get off

    I think it's actually about what she feels when they perform live, and her feeding off the audience while they're feeding off her :D
    At Least that's what i got when i saw them live!
    I F**cking Love Halestorm!!!

    it's sexuall. she's got a peeping Tom.. and he watches her get off :)
    and getting off does not mean having an orgasm. it just simply means you cum.
    this song is amazing. and a few lyrics are wrong :/

    I love this song. I love Halestorm and Lzzy Hale is one sexxxy bitch. :) I have to say that a couple of the lyrics are wrong here. It should be "You could say I'm different and maybe I'm a freak" (not afraid) and it should be "When the line is crossed" (not your). That being said I dont know why everyone is trying to figure out if the song has a sexual meaning...its obvious that it does. The song explores exhibitionism and voyerism. It is just that simple.

    it's very SEXUAL. no one would make a song like this... just to be cool. they made it cus it's sexual jeeeeeez people.

  • Anonymous

    "i get off" basically means too have an orgasm.
    Duh. Of course it's something sexual.
    Have you payed any attention too their other songs?
    Halestorms amazing. (:

    ~besanii_kamisan. Song meanings add to the song so that people can relate. It's a way of identifying with our favorite artists and what their mindset was when they were writing the song. If we want to discuss it and interpret it who are you to say what we should and should not think? Get off your high and mighty free spirit, free love and drug toting ass and appreciate what's behind the music.

    Saw them in concert last night they kicked ass! She did say it was about how she feels while perfoming live!

    I just don't understand why everyone feels the need to what the meaning behind the song is. Music is art, and art is meant to be interpreted differently by different people. Some would find it sexual, some more thrilling. I'm sure there are people out there who could find religious meaning in the lyrics. It doesn't matter what the artist was feeling once it's been presented to someone else. The only thing that really matters is what meaning YOU find in it and if YOU like it. F*** everything else. ~besanii_kamisan

    it IS sexual :D
    look at this line...
    "You're greedy eyes upon me
    And then i come undone"
    and.. "It's so much more exciting
    To look when you can touch"

    i do agree with the others.. it sure sounds like some guy watches her undress thinking she doesnt know but she does and it excites her knowing some guy gets off by watching her which gets her off too... which can be more exciting than the actual sexual performance.

    this line "when your line is crossed" i'm not sure what this one means though.

    i really dont care what she tells the interviewers.. she can keep the real meaning of this song personal if she wants.

    okay, this song obviously is the harvester....seperating the idealistically art-minded listeners from the literal-minded perverts....

    it's a song, so it's poetry, so it's metaphorical....it's MEANT to sound innuistic, because everyone can relate to that, whereas NOT everyone can relate to stage (or video) performance. So she expresses the rush, the thrill, the euphoric feeling she gets via rock-band performance in terms anyone can understand.

    In fact, relating thrill to sex is almost cliche....it's been said that piloting a high-speed fighter jet is akin to sex...etc.

    So only a complete noob would take this metaphor literally.

    It's damn clearly NOT about performing music on the stage. If she says that she's a dumbass liar, so I sure hope she doesn't.

    As someone said way earlier, they have stated in MANY interviews that the song is inspired by the feeling they get during a live show. However, they also said that they knew that many people would interpret it in a very sexual way (and I think they're just fine with that).

    my friend sent me a link to the music video and I am totally addicted to it, the chick is hot, the lyrics are hot...

    ummm... no where in the song does it say its a "man" watching her! hell it could be a chick!

  • Anonymous

    Wanted to read the lyric's as it's moving up our charts. To number 5 this week on JAM Radio. Great tune!

    Look, It's a great rock song - interpretation is up to you. It could be just another woman playing games on some poor sucker.

  • Anonymous

    Chicks are totally like this (speaking as one). A lot would be totally flattered to know that someone found them so attractive that he would watch them undress and jerk to it.

  • Anonymous

    Well when my line is crossed is he getting off? laughs.. Maybe someday i will find out i mean who knows,my b/f did introduce me to this song maybe he's dream of me undressing for his eyes only and getting off lol

  • Anonymous

    it is definately sexual. she did an interview and clearly stated that it was about a man who watched her undress everynight and would masturbate to it, and she got off on it, and was flattered, so she continued to get undressed in front of the window and dance around everynight.

  • Anonymous

    It's obviously sexual. Coming undone in the light? Not closing the curtains because it's too much fun? Clearly she likes stripping in front of her window where some guy can see her. He thinks she doesn't know, but she does. She lets him watch because it flatters her to know that someone wants her bad enough to watch her undress every night. Anyway, who cares if it's sexual, it's a great song!

    not sexual my ass

  • Anonymous

    Haha, which is funny, because if that's true it's clearly meant to be misinterpreted as something sexual.

    It's not about anything sexual. According to an interview at the local radio station, it's about the rush that the band gets while performing live.
