Meaning of the song

“It’s kind of about when you’re going through a tough break-up or when things are not going super-well, you’re not happy about something happening with your girlfriend. It’s been two, three weeks, a month and you’re like: “I’ve had enough of this shit! I’m gonna go out tonight and I’m gonna forget about all this and just have a good time.” So, it’s kind of like a “getting-better” kind of song after a tough break-up.”

– Chuck Comeau –

Song lyrics


I try to brush it off
Keep calm and collected
But it just won’t work

They tell me: “Read a book,
Learn to cook,
Anything to keep your mind off her!”

And now I’m so-oh
Tired of feeling so low-oh
Seven weeks in a row-oh oh
I don’t wanna hear about
Don’t wanna think about you

I wanna make out with the perfect stranger
Get loud need a mind-eraser
Drink up tonight
I’m on a mission
To get you outta my system

Downtown I’ll be up all night
Get lost in the flash of lights
Drink up tonight
I’m on a mission
To get you outta my system

I try to be mature,
Stay polite
But I’m really thinking: Was it worth?
When deep inside of me
I can’t breathe
I’m a victim of a love-sick curse

And now I’m so-oh
Tired of taking it slow-ow
Seven weeks in a row-ow
I don’t wanna hear about
Don’t wanna think about you

I wanna make out with the perfect stranger
Get loud need a mind-eraser
Drink up tonight
I’m on a mission
To get you outta my system

Downtown I’ll be up all night
Get lost in the flash of lights
Drink up tonight
I’m on a mission
To get you outta my system

Outta my system
Outta my system
Outta my system

It’s been so long since I’ve been myself
Talking like, walking like someone else
Feels so good to get back to me
Rid myself of this misery
Now I’m here coming back to life
Turning my wrongs all back to right
I was way down
I was locked up
Now I’m free

I’m gonna make out with the perfect stranger
Get loud need a mind-eraser
Drink up tonight
I’m on a mission
To get you outta my system

Downtown I’ll be up all night
Get lost in the flash of lights
Drink up tonight
I’m on a mission
To get you outta my system

Oh-oh outta my system
Oh-oh outta my system
Outta my system
