Get It Right Pt. 2
Grapefruit Sound Lab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're gonna take our time.
We're gonna get it right.
We're gonna get it right this time.

Being, being, human being:
Wherefore wise, yet never seeing.

Mind, mind, humankind:
Come along, not left behind.

With a friend, a hand to lend:
The riches of the earth to rend.

Half-life, carbon, fumes deploy:
Our sacred mother we may destroy.

Never is a dream discarded:
Love thy brother in the garden.

Time, time it all goes by:
I know this time we get it right...





We're gonna get it right this time.

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Grapefruit Sound Lab's "Get it Right Pt. 2," the lyrics state "We're gonna take our time. We're gonna get it right. We're gonna get it right this time." This could be interpreted as a message about patience and perseverance, encouraging listeners to slow down and take their time in order to achieve success. This sentiment is then reinforced with the repetition of the phrase "We're gonna get it right this time" in the chorus. It seems as though the song is a call-to-action for individuals to come together and work towards a better world, as evidenced by the lines "With a friend, a hand to lend: The riches of the earth to rend" and "Love thy brother in the garden." The lyrics also touch on themes of environmentalism, as evidenced by the reference to "carbon" and "fumes deploy" potentially harming the "sacred mother," or Earth.


The second verse seems to address the idea of our shared humanity and the responsibility we have to care for one another. The repetition of the word "being" in the line "Being, being, human being: Wherefore wise, yet never seeing" could be interpreted as highlighting the paradox of our existence as intelligent creatures who often fail to see the broader picture. The following line, "Mind, mind, humankind: Come along, not left behind," seems to be a call for collective action. We are being reminded that we all have important skills and insights to offer, and that we should use them to work together and build towards a better future.
