Can't Get Down
Crazy Penis Lyrics

Hagar Sammy
Standing Hampton
Can't Get Loose
(S. Hagar)

What makes him stand and fight
When he only wants to love
And why do they push so hard
When he only needs a shove
Every time I see him go
Everybody says to wait

Can't get loose
You can fight like hell
But you can't get loose
You can dream
But you can't get loose
It's holdin' on, holdin' on

Can't get loose
Oh, no, no

What makes on man rich
How's another man get so poor
What make someone care so much
For things another man can just ignore
Some questions go unanswered
And they have for quite some time
Something's forever sacred
We're just prisoners of our own minds

Chorus:
Can't get loose
We can fight like hell
But we can't get loose
We can dream
But we can't get loose
Keep's holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose
Shake it, share it, share it loose
Oh yea

There she sits
With stars in her eyes
But too afraid to dance
'Cause every guy that she holds so close
Just wants to get in her pants
Oh yea
Can't get loose
Can't get loose
Can't get loose
Can't get loose

Tell me what keeps her by his side
When she's treated just like dirt
The fear of the dark unknown
Appears to be much worse than the hurt
So she stays up nights and dreams
Of a knight in shining armour
Who will rescue her one day
While time keeps going against her

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Crazy Penis's song "Can't Get Down" explore themes of struggle, resilience, and personal limitations. The song starts by questioning why someone would fight when all they want is love, and why external forces push them so hard when all they need is a little push in the right direction. The singer feels trapped and unable to break free, despite their desire to do so. The lyrics evoke a sense of frustration and longing for freedom.


The song also touches on the disparities in wealth and the different ways people prioritize material possessions. It asks why some people are rich while others are poor, and why some individuals care so much about things that others can easily ignore. These questions remain unanswered, and the song suggests that some things are forever sacred and beyond our understanding.


The chorus emphasizes the inability to let go and break free, even when one fights with all their might. Dreams and desires may be present, but they cannot be fully realized. The repetition of the phrase "holdin' on" emphasizes the struggle and the feeling of being trapped.


The final verse introduces a female character who is reluctant to dance due to her fear of being taken advantage of by men. Despite her mistreatment, she remains by her partner's side. The lyrics suggest that her fear of the unknown and the uncertainty of being alone outweigh the pain she endures in her current situation.


Overall, "Can't Get Down" explores themes of personal limitations, societal pressures, and the struggle to break free from constraints and achieve true liberation.
