Get Yourself Together
Dolour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My old friend, my left brain's been losing to the right
Oh, but you'll never know your cell's never on
And if you get yourself together, you can bring yourself right over tonight
Stop and think it over one more time
There's so many things I'd like to do with you tonight
But if you get yourself together, you can bring yourself right over tonight
No walk, no talk, no kiss good night
No walk, no talk, no kiss good night
And if you get yourself together, you can bring yourself right over tonight
And if you get yourself together, you can bring yourself right over tonight
In the song "Get Yourself Together" by Dolour, the lyrics describe a situation where the singer is unable to sleep because their left-brain is fighting with their right-brain. This inner turmoil is affecting their emotional and mental state, and they long for someone who can bring them comfort. However, the person they desire is unattainable because they are not reachable by phone. Despite the lack of communication, the singer hopes that if this person can "get themselves together," they can come over to provide the comfort they crave.
The repetition of the phrase "you'll never know" suggests a sense of frustration and longing. The singer desires to be with this person but feels hindered by circumstances out of their control. The line "Stop and think it over one more time" suggests that perhaps the person is unsure about their relationship and needs to reconsider their feelings.
The chorus is straightforward, repeating the message that if the person can "get themselves together," they can come over.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing for connection. The singer is grappling with their own inner turmoil and hopes that someone else can bring them the comfort they need.
