Get Loose
Clubfeet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taken all your things and now I'm here
Standing alone, I call your name
Means nothing to me, I hear you sob
Playing it all night
Do you know how it feels?
Do you know how i know?
Do you know how i know?
Running on the spot
Running for a moment
Just gonna let me teach myself to you
Getting real high loose
Messing on everybody
I want your number, but I'll settle for a dance
Gone,
Taken all your things and now I'm here
Standing alone, I call your name
Means nothing to me, I hear you sob
Playing it all night
Do you know how it feels?
Do you know how it feels?
Running on the spot
Running for a moment
Just gonna let me teach myself to you
Getting real high loose
Messing on everybody
I want your number, but I'll settle for a dance
Running on the spot
Running for a moment
Just gonna let me teach myself to you
Getting real high loose
Messing on everybody
I want your number, but I'll settle for a dance
(running on the spot
getting real high loose)
(running on the spot
getting real high loose)
The lyrics to Clubfeet's song "Get Loose" seem to be addressing a person who has left or abandoned the singer. The repeated lines of "gone, taken all your things and now I'm here" and "means nothing to me, I hear you sob" suggest a sense of betrayal or hurt. However, the song also contains a sense of detachment or indifference to the situation, with the line "playing it all night" indicating that the singer might be attempting to distract themselves from their emotions.
The chorus of the song contains the repeated question "Do you know how it feels?" This question could be interpreted in a few different ways. One possibility is that the singer is asking their former lover if they know how it feels to be abandoned. Another possibility is that the singer is asking a rhetorical question, as if to say "You don't know how it feels."
The remainder of the song is focused on the desire to "get loose," which could be interpreted as attempting to forget about the pain of the past and let go. The line "just gonna let me teach myself to you" suggests a desire to connect with someone new, while "messing on everybody" implies a certain disregard for social norms or conventions. The repeated line "getting real high loose" could be interpreted as a desire to escape through drug use or other means.
