Get Along
Barstool Prophets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When he walks his feet rise six feet off the ground.
Seems indestructible and intimidating.
When he's in deep thought
You just can't tell what he's contemplating now
But the small one's smart.
Some would call him wiry.
To him it's art, and his pallet's colourful.
Confident of victory, the fun for him is in conceiving how.
They both want it, need it, love it.
It makes them feel like they belong.
When these two meet, it's back in the alley.
Neither of them strangers to the venue or the clientele.
They are unaware of any negative consequences.
Their one concern is impressing those in audience tonight
With a fight to end all fights.
With so much in common, you'd think that
They both could get along.
They both want it, need it, love it.
It makes them feel like they belong.
With so much in common you'd think that
They both could get along.
Why can't they get along?
The above lyrics are a commentary on the nature of conflict and violence. The song tells the story of two men, one big and one small, who are both drawn to violence as a means of expressing themselves and gaining a sense of belonging. The big one is portrayed as an imposing figure, seemingly indestructible and intimidating in appearance. He is also depicted as a deep thinker, whose thoughts are difficult to discern. The small one, on the other hand, is described as being wiry and artistic, with a colorful palette.
Despite their physical and personality differences, both men are driven by a desire for victory and a need to prove their worth to an audience. They are portrayed as being so deeply invested in the fight that they are unaware of any negative consequences that might arise from their actions. The song poses the question of why these two men, who seem to have so much in common, can't get along.
The lyrics of "Get Along" remind us that despite our differences, we are all human beings with similar desires and struggles. While violence and conflict may seem like a way to gain power and belonging, ultimately it only leads to further division and pain. The song encourages listeners to seek understanding and empathy for others, rather than resorting to violence.
