Get Along
Baby Chaos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone could have said they're sorry instead of snapping away
Someone better say they're sorry have you got something to say

WHY DON'T WE SHARE A SMOKE AND HAVE A HEART TO HEART
AND MABYE FIGURE OUT JUST WHERE THE TROUBLE STARTS
WHY DON'T WE GET IT RIGHT WHY DON'T WE GET ALONG

But summertime made me lazy as it came and went
And summertime drove you crazy on a dark descent

I heard a sigh of resignation your idea of a joke
So while I was laughing with you I thought that maybe you'd choke




'Cause it's a little hard to swallow what we didn't achieve
Is every single generation so fabulously naïve

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Baby Chaos's song "Get Along" reflect the frustration of two people who are unable to communicate with each other and seek forgiveness. The opening lines, "Someone could have said they're sorry instead of snapping away / Someone better say they're sorry have you got something to say" convey the bitterness and hurt that have caused a rift in their relationship. The lines that follow, however, hold a ray of hope by suggesting that they could try to find a way to resolve their differences. The lines, "Why don't we share a smoke and have a heart-to-heart / And maybe figure out just where the trouble starts / Why don't we get it right why don't we get along" suggest that there is still a possibility of reconciliation, but it requires both parties to be willing to talk and listen to each other.


The next few lines talk about how the passing of time has made them lose touch with each other. The lines, "But summertime made me lazy as it came and went / And summertime drove you crazy on a dark descent" paint a picture of how they have drifted apart and how their lives have taken separate paths. The following lines, however, suggest that despite these differences, they still care for each other. The lines, "I heard a sigh of resignation your idea of a joke / So while I was laughing with you I thought that maybe you'd choke" show that even in their moments of levity, there is a sense of unease between them.


The last lines of the song, "Is every single generation so fabulously naïve" pose a question about the nature of human relationships. Despite being generations apart, humans often struggle with the same issues of communication and forgiveness. The song is a powerful reminder that despite our differences, we are all connected by our shared experiences of love, hurt, and longing for a deeper connection.
