Get It Together
D.I.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He'd work for anybody if he wasn't working for her dad.
She' practicing saying I do or I will
'Cause she don't know how to tell him that she's going off the pill.
Her curtains are for certain that he'll talk about her ass
But she clings to his photo like a piece of broken glass.
We can't get it together today.
He's dad is a nut, he's ex-girl is a slut.
But he'll be yours forever if you just get it together.
If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together
Is it ever gonna be just you and me?
So they met on Tuesday at the town hall steps
To get an eight by ten photo and a wedding date set.
We might as well do it next week
'Cause we've met everybody that we're ever gonna meet.
He's dad is a nut, he's ex-girl is a slut
But he'll be yours forever if you just get it together.
If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together
Is it ever gonna be just you and me?
Four seventy to Circular Quay.
A present in your pocket for the TAB
If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together
Is it ever gonna be just you and me?
Would you settle for a mobile home
A good record store and a public phone
If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together.
The lyrics of D.I.T.'s song "Get it Together" tell the story of a couple facing challenges in their relationship as they try to achieve stability and plan for their future.
In the first verse, the couple is trying to save money to afford an apartment in the inner west, most likely a desirable area. The singer is willing to work for anyone, even if it means not working for her father. This shows the extent to which they are willing to compromise and sacrifice to achieve their goal. The female partner is contemplating whether to say "I do" or "I will," indicating that she is unsure about committing to marriage. She is also grappling with the dilemma of how to inform her partner that she wants to stop using birth control.
The second verse portrays the couple's struggles and insecurities. The woman is aware that her partner talks about her appearance, specifically her rear end, but she still clings to a photo of him as though it were fragile glass, indicating her attachment and vulnerability. The chorus emphasizes their difficulty in getting their problems sorted out and makes mention of the woman searching for her partner's heart while he looks the other way, symbolizing their emotional disconnect.
In the bridge, the song shifts to their attempt to plan a wedding. They meet at the town hall steps to secure a wedding date and obtain a photo. They feel the urgency to proceed quickly, as they believe they have already encountered everyone they will ever meet. This sense of finality suggests that they feel limited in their options and are unsure about what the future holds.
The final section of the song explores the couple's uncertainties and potential compromises they may have to make. They contemplate the cost of traveling to Circular Quay and mention a gift in the pocket for the TAB, which could refer to a betting shop. This highlights their need to prioritize and make decisions based on their financial constraints. The suggestion of settling for a mobile home, a good record store, and a public phone reveals their willingness to embrace a simpler lifestyle if they cannot achieve their desired stability. The repeated emphasis in the chorus on not being able to "get it together" signifies their struggle to find a harmonious and secure future for their relationship.
Overall, "Get it Together" communicates the challenges and uncertainties faced by a couple as they navigate their relationship, finances, and future plans. It highlights the difficulties of communication, compromises, and the search for stability and happiness in the face of adversity.
