Come Together
Gotthard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes old flat top he come
Grooving up slowly he got
Joo joo eye ball he one
Holy roller he got
Hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoe shine 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 bag production, he got
Walrus gumboat, 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 waters, he one
Mojo filter, he say
One and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause it's so hard to see





Come together, right now
Over me

Overall Meaning

Gotthard's song "Come Together" is a cover of the classic Beatles track that was released in 1969. The lyrics of the song are full of non-sequiturs and confusing images that combine to make a surreal and interesting collage of words.


The first few lines of the song describe "old flat top" who is "grooving up slowly" with "joo joo eye ball" and "hair down to his knees". The image is surreal and confusing, but it creates a sense of movement and energy. The next set of lyrics describe a man who "wear no shoe shine" but has "toe jam football" and a "monkey finger". The lines seem meant to confuse and disorient the listener, but there is a clear sense of the individual being depicted as an outsider who doesn't conform to societal norms. The chorus repeats the phrase "come together right now over me" which could be interpreted as a call for unity and acceptance of those who don't fit the norm.


The final set of lyrics reference "muddy waters" and a "mojo filter" before reaffirming the need to be "good looking" so that it's "hard to see". This line could be interpreted as a reference to the superficiality of society and the need to conform to societal standards of beauty.


Overall, the lyrics of "Come Together" are surreal and confusing but there is a clear sense of outsidership and a need for acceptance present throughout the song.
