I read these song lyrics with the phrase "getting off" by an Australian band. I'm an American, and for me, this phrase would have a sexual meaning. Is there another meaning in Australian English?

In Aus the phrase 'getting off' can mean many things.

mostly it means achieving satisfaction... that can be sexually but can be any general satisfaction as well...
