Come Together
Aerosmith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he's got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
Come together, right now
Over me
He back production, he got walrus gumboot
He's got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together, right now
Over me
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
The lyrics to Aerosmith's song "Come Together" describe a quirky and eccentric character who is introduced as "old flat-top" and is described as having "ju-ju eyeballs" and "hair down to his knees". Despite his unorthodox appearance, he exudes confidence and a carefree attitude, declaring that he simply does what he pleases. The chorus serves as a call to unity, urging listeners to come together over the singer.
The song also features references to a variety of seemingly unrelated items, such as "monkey finger", "Coca-Cola", and "walrus gumboot". Though these may seem like arbitrary choices, they are thought to be symbolic of the counterculture movement of the 1960s, which sought to reject mainstream values and create a new way of life. The final verse features a cryptic declaration that "one and one and one is three", which can be interpreted as a call for unity and collaboration among people who may seem different on the surface.
All in all, "Come Together" is a celebration of individuality, diversity, and the power of coming together to create something greater than ourselves.
