Get It Right
Data.Select.Party Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can't say that, I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that, I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that, I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight you tonight

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

From my hands, I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth, I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body, I could show you a place God knows




You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Get It Right" by Data.Select.Party portray a sense of determination and self-awareness. It talks about the importance of being decisive and determined in life. The first stanza highlights the fact that life is unpredictable and one has to be prepared to face challenges at any given time. It encourages the listener to say what they mean and to mean what they say. The second stanza acknowledges that sometimes things may not go as planned, and that's when one must not lose hope, for there is always a way out.


The chorus of the song conveys the idea that although someone may not hold great importance in our lives, they may have a significant impact on us. The person may not be significant to us in general but may have the ability to set us free when we need it the most. The next part of the verse talks about the duality of life - light and dark. The singer is aware of their flaws and accepts them. They don't claim to be perfect but know that they are alive and have the ability to show their feelings. The final verse highlights the idea of offering something invaluable to someone. It could be a song or something handmade, and while it may not hold great importance for others, it is significant for the creator themselves.
