Get Down
Isador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They melt the world and tell you it's to feed your appetite
You feed me all those lies I didn't want to write
You're on the other side, the other side, I hate you
Forget me, read my rights, forget my fucking life
You say I'll see the light, but I despise you
I'll see you on the way 'round, the way 'round
I said, everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on your way down, your way down
They give us no chance, distract us make us dance
The beat feels so good, you keep me on message
Oh, then that's my rage, may increase my pain
I know I should, I need to, I have anxiety
Forget me, read my rights, forget my fucking life
You say I'll see the light, but I despise you
Everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on the way 'round, the way 'round
I said, everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on your way down, your way down
Caught up with your heart, wrestling with indecision
Reason to be told, we belong, you'd never know us
System now takes hold, no emotion, it feels nothing
Round us all our lives, killing us, you never realized
Everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on the way 'round, the way 'round
Everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on the way 'round, the way 'round
Everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on the way 'round, the way 'round
I said, everybody get down, get down
I'll see you on your way down, your way down
The lyrics to Isador's song Get Down describe a dystopian world where there seems to be a lack of freedom and gravity. The opening lines 'We're crashing to the right, no gravity in sight, they melt the world and tell you it's to feed your appetite' suggests the world is being manipulated by an unknown entity. This unknown entity is feeding people false information, seemingly for their own benefit. The line "You feed me all those lies I didn't want to write" suggests the singer is against this system but still feeling the effects of it.
The chorus "Everybody get down, get down, I'll see you on the way 'round" calls for everyone to get down, almost as if the singer is calling for a revolution, to take down this unjust system. The line "They give us no chance, distract us make us dance" further suggests that the people in this world are being kept in line through the use of entertainment and distraction. The line "Caught up with your heart, wrestling with indecision" suggests that while the singer wants to fight against the system, they are also grappling with the fear and uncertainty that comes with such a revolution.
In the end, the lyrics to Get Down suggest both an anger and a longing for freedom. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the call to action and the desire to break free from the system that has trapped everyone.
