Jazzanova Re Groove
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heads of nations rotten to the core
Tell me how are you gonna change the world
When you haven't got the love
I still remember your promise from the past
And here you are with another that won't last
You tell me how you're gonna change the world
Don't shake me by the hand
Pretend to understand
To get into my mind
You got to get into my groove
Step into my shoes
Come and feel my blues
To comprehend my life
You got to get into my groove
You say you're standing for the hungry and the weak
But your words are as hollow as the glory that you seek
Tell me how you're gonna change the world
When you haven't got the love
You want the world to see your point of view
But your eyes are closed to the pain we must undo
Tell me how you're gonna change the world
When you haven't got the love
Before you tell the world about the things that they should do
Stop and take a look what's going on inside of you
Divisions are the consequences of the games you play
Look inside you
The lyrics to Incognito's song "Get Into My Groove" speak about the lack of love and empathy in the world, particularly among politicians and leaders who claim to be working for the greater good but are actually corrupt and self-serving. The singer of the song challenges these individuals to truly understand the struggles and realities of the people they claim to represent, and to recognize that real change can only come from a place of love and compassion.
The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of getting into someone's groove in order to truly understand them - this means walking in their shoes, feeling their pain, and comprehending their experiences. Without this deeper level of understanding, true empathy and meaningful change cannot be achieved. The verses focus on the division and lack of trust that arises from leaders who claim to be working for the common good but are actually ignoring the needs and voices of their constituents. The song is a powerful critique of corrupt leadership, but it also serves as a reminder that change is possible when we approach each other with love and understanding.

I love when Jazzanova can take a song and make it sound better than the original IMO. (Sorry Blue.) Iโm also a fan of Mayaโs. Saw on a jazz cruise hosted by CD 101.9 NYC. She is a incredibly classically trained vocalist. This song is fire. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅ๐ฅ
