verse
What′s been happenin' in your world?
What have you been up to?
I heard that you fell in love, or near enough
I gotta tell you the truth, yeah
chorus
I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
I get the feelin′ I left it too late, but, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies havin' a sing
I′ll be here waitin′ ever so patiently
For you to snap out of it
verse
Forever isn't for everyone
Is forever for you?
It sounds like settlin′ down or givin' up
But it don′t sound much like you, girl
chorus
I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
I get the feelin' I left it too late, but, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
If that watch don′t continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies havin' a sing
I'll be here waitin′ ever so patiently
For you to snap out of it
bridge
Under a spell, you′re hypnotized (ooh)
Darling, how could you be so blind? (Snap out of it)
Under a spell, you're hypnotized (ooh)
Darling, how could you be so blind?
chorus
I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
I get the feelin′ I left it too late, but, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies havin′ a sing
I'll be here waitin′ ever so patiently
For you to snap out of it

Meaning
In 'Snap Out Of It' by Arctic Monkeys, the singer is urging someone to wake up from a state of being hypnotized or under a spell, possibly in a relationship that is not true to themselves. The metaphor of 'snapping out of it' is used to convey the idea of breaking free from a trance-like state and regaining clarity and control over one's life.
