Get It Together
De Staat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah-eh, this got me so tired
Just cut me loose, or wait in the fire
Yeah-eh, we thank you for trying
That's what you get for breeding a liar

I will take you on, you will take me down
Now I'm gonna get it together
I will take you on, you will take me down
Now I'm gonna get it together

Yeah-eh, just keep on talking
Still see your lips, but I'm already walking
Yeah-eh, I'm getting out of the fire
That's what you get for breeding a liar

I will take you on, you will take me down
Now I'm gonna get it together

I will take you on, you will take me down
Now I'm gonna get it together

Get it together
Get it together





I will take you on, you will take me down
Now I'm gonna get it together

Overall Meaning

At its core, "Get It Together" by De Staat is a song about taking control of one's own fate in the face of deception and betrayal. The first verse captures a sense of exhaustion and frustration with someone who has consistently let the singer down, likely through lies and dishonesty. The lyric "just cut me loose, or wait in the fire" conveys a feeling of helplessness and the desire to be released from a situation that is causing pain or discomfort. However, the singer acknowledges that the situation was a result of his/her own choices: "that's what you get for breeding a liar," implying that the singer may have ignored warning signs or blindly trusted someone without fully assessing the risks.


In the chorus, the singer asserts a sense of agency and determination in the face of this betrayal. The repetition of the line "I will take you on, you will take me down, now I'm gonna get it together" suggests a kind of battle or struggle, with the singer determined to come out on top. The second verse reinforces this idea of taking control, with the singer already "walking" away from the situation while the other person continues to talk. The chorus repeats again, with a sense of urgency building as the backing music becomes more insistent, culminating in the repeated command to "get it together."


Overall, "Get It Together" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment in the face of adversity. It suggests that even when betrayed or let down by others, we have the ability to take control and find a way forward.
