Get Loose
D 4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't get nothing to eat it's only 2am
All the girls they look at me funny
They don't know nothing and I gotta get out
Get up get out get loose
Get up get out get loose
Get up get out get loose
Monkeys on my TV
Speak to beggars on a Friday night
I got the blues walking all over my streets
I keep my head on I keep shaking no, I gotta get out!
Get up get out get loose
Get up get out get loose
Get loose!
Get up get out get loose
Get up get out get loose (Loose)
Get up get out get loose (Loose)
Get up get out get loose (Loose)
Get up get out get loose (Loose)
Get up get out get loose (Loose)
Get up get out get loose (Loose)
Get up get out get loose
In D 4's song Get Loose, the lyrics suggest a feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction with one's environment. The singer is in the city, but there's seemingly nothing for them to do or to eat. Furthermore, they feel out of place and unwelcome among the girls they encounter. The singer then turns their attention to the media they consume and the general state of their surroundings, including beggars and a generally negative atmosphere. Despite it all, the singer is resolute in their desire to "get out" and "get loose."
The repetition in the chorus, "Get up get out get loose," reinforces the idea that the singer is stuck in a rut and needs to break free. It's not clear what "get loose" specifically means in this context, but it could be interpreted as letting go of inhibitions and embracing freedom. Overall, the song seems like a call to action to shake off complacency and seek something more fulfilling.

This is one of those "you had to be there" kind of songs. You had to be just the right age and listening to this kind of music at the time it was popular to know about it.

This song perfectly describes being awake in the middle of the night and full of energy when everyone else is asleep.

Bought the cd when the song hit on college radio (WMUH 91.7 Muhlenberg College, probably the best college radio station in the nation). Clear Channel said: "No way." Thus, a great song went nowhere, for theΒ 40,000th time in radio hx.

Ever heard of "King Gizzard"? Aussie bands with 20 albums or so, absolute underground cult, zero Airplay. It's a shame. Aussie rock. Also no Airplay for "airbourne". Why?
