Get Into My Groove
Jazzanova 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 of Jazzanova's "Get Into My Groove" explore the theme of love and empathy in relation to societal change, especially in the context of politics and leadership. The song questions the validity of leaders who seek change without love, empathy or understanding for the people they lead. The opening line suggests that even at the highest level of leadership, the rot of corruption and insincerity bears its weight. The lack of love in the actions and policies of such "heads of nations" only serve to perpetuate the social ills that need change.
The second verse reflects on broken promises and lack of trust in leadership. The words "here you are with another that won't last" suggest that leaders are replaceable and one failure to lead with love and authenticity opens the door for another leader to emerge. The song stresses the need for leaders to feel the pulse of the people they lead, by stepping into their shoes and understanding their struggles. The chorus emphasizes the importance of empathy and connection for a leader to make effective change. Only by understanding and connecting with the people, can leaders hope to comprehend their lives and effect change that resonates.
Overall, the song resonates heavily across different cultures and countries and particularly echoes cries for better leadership all over the world. Jazzanova makes this statement with precision and an allegory of sound to elevate the message.

You say you're standing for the hungry and the weak
Claiming to advocate for those in need
But your words are as hollow as the glory that you seek
Their words lack sincerity and authenticity
You want the world to see your point of view
Desiring others to understand and agree with their perspective
But your eyes are closed to the pain we must undo
Blind to the struggles and hardships that need to be addressed
Before you tell the world about the things that they should do
Pause and reflect on one's own actions and behaviors before advising others
Stop and take a look what's going on inside of you
Reflect on one's own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to gain self-awareness
Divisions are the consequences of the games you play
One's actions and behaviors can lead to division amongst people
Look inside you
Reflect on one's own self to gain understanding

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