Give out
Hi
A singer quotes the words of a song:
You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends
And then says: Whenever you hear a song where I'm giving out, it's usually myself I'm giving out about. But not in this case.
--- What does he mean by "giving out"?

Hi
It's a song by U2.
But at the end he said "But not in this case".
So I understand that he is saying: Whenever you hear a song in which I reveal something it's usually about me, I reveal something about myself, but not in this case.
This is how I see it.
