Come Together
Gary Clark Jr. & Junkie XL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he's got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
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, right now
Come together, right now
Come together, right now
Over me
The first verse of "Come Together" by Gary Clark Jr. & Junkie XL describes a mysterious and eccentric character referred to as "old flat-top". He is depicted as a free-spirited and unapologetic individual who does things his own way without worrying about societal norms. The line "he got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller" suggests that he has a certain spirituality about him or perhaps even possesses supernatural powers.
The second part of the verse describes the physical attributes of old flat-top. He wears no shoes and has dirty toes, which is referred to as "toe-jam football". He also has a unique way of holding a bottle, which is referred to as "monkey finger" and can apparently shoot Coca-Cola. The final line of the verse, "one thing I can tell you is you got to be free", is a call to anyone who wants to be like old flat-top, to break free from societal expectations and constraints and live a life of freedom and individuality.
The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, invites everyone to come together and unite over a common cause, "right now over me". The second verse describes old flat-top as a "roller-coaster" with "muddy water" and a "mojo filter", suggesting that he is a complex character with many layers. The line "one and one and one is three" can be interpreted in different ways, but it is widely believed to describe the unity and oneness that can be achieved through music and a shared experience.
