David & Nicole Binion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me

He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Come Together" by David & Nicole Binion allude to the complexity of the human experience and the need for unity in the face of it. The first verse begins with the introduction of a character known as "old flat top." This could be a reference to the Beatles' song "Come Together," as they famously used the term. Old flat top is described as having "joo joo eyeballs" and being a "holy roller," which suggests a spiritual or otherworldly quality. The lyrics then go on to describe his eccentricities, such as his hair being down to his knees and his preference for doing what he pleases.

The second verse continues to describe old flat top, this time focusing on his possessions and habits. He wears no shoeshine and has a "toe jam football," which is likely meant to be humorous but also implies that he is not interested in material possessions. He also has a "walrus gumboot" and "Ono sideboard," which could be references to the Beatles and Yoko Ono, respectively. The line "Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease" suggests that old flat top may be an embodiment of the struggles and hardships of life. The chorus, "Come together, right now, over me," speaks to the importance of coming together as a community in the face of adversity and recognizing the interconnectedness of all people.
