Archie Bronson Outfit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One word could mean this heart gets clean
Got to got to get to get, got to got to get to get
Your eyes
Here comes your sound, you move you're found
Hold off, hold true, till I get you
Got to got to get to get. got to got to get to get
Your eyes
got to get your eyes, got to get your eyes
got to get your eyes, got to get your eyes
got to get your eyes, got to get your eyes
In "Got to Get In," Archie Bronson Outfit presents us with a series of lines that could be interpreted in different ways. At a first glance, the expression "just blocks of color hold me together" might suggest the singer's isolation and lack of connection to the world. However, the following verse, "one word could mean this heart gets clean," introduces a glimmer of hope that may be linked to a potential encounter with the person the song addresses. Intriguingly, the chorus keeps repeating the line "got to got to get to get your eyes," which might be interpreted as an invitation to finally look at the one the singer is attracted to.
The second verse also contains some ambiguous lyrics: "here comes your sound, you move you're found." These lines could be construed as either addressing the other person's presence or the singer's musical sensibility - it is possible that the reference to sound is an allusion to the power of music to connect individuals. Overall, the song seems to convey a yearning for intimacy and a desire to connect with someone in a meaningful way. The repetition of "got to get to get" in the chorus might emphasize the urgency that the singer feels - it is as if the entire song is an attempt to convey this message to the addressee.
