Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said you wanted to grow your hair long and you cut your sides off
I don't think I know you at all.
I don't think, I don't think I know you at all.
When you walk alone in the park,
Sometimes you get on the train and you just sit there till you get to the last stop.
You call me up once you're lost
I don't think, I don't think I know you at all.
You don't want me at all. I don't want to know you at all

When I look at you I see this.
Makes me speak you up how we can be, cause I know what you got.
I got, I got, Uuhhh,
I got it, I got it, I know you know I got it.

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Banoffee's song "Got It" is about a person whom the singer believed she knew. The person she knew claimed they wanted to grow their hair long but then cut the sides off. This change in behavior makes the singer question whether she ever knew this person at all. She watches this person walk alone in the park, occasionally taking the train to the last stop. When this person gets lost, they call the singer for help; however, the singer doesn't feel like she knows this person at all.

The chorus of "Got It" expresses self-confidence and assurance on the singer's part. She repeatedly asserts, "I got it, I got it. I know you know I got it." This could imply that the singer has self-assurance in her own abilities to handle a difficult situation, or it could mean that she believes the person she's singing to is aware of her self-assurance and strength.

The second part of the song bridges into being more abstract. The singer reflects on a moment where she sees the person walking with somebody else, and, from this point on, the lyrics get murkier. The third verse talks about teeth in a wound, making it unclear what is happening in the scene. The lyrics repeat the chorus indicating that whatever the situation is, the singer believes she can handle it.

In conclusion, from the song "Got It," we understand that the song is about self-confidence and assurance. The singer feels like the person she thought she knew isn't who she thought they were, which leads her to question herself. Still, she manages to find enough self-assurance to believe in her abilities to handle the unknown.
