Get Right Church
MV / EE / Flower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your were born lost and dirt blonde
No curfew with your drunk mom
No one to stop you now
And I'll give you my opinion its the only one I got
They'll turn you into something whether you are it or not
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by they should tremble at your sight
These bad dreams and back seats happys
Through the dark streets
A good angel with bad wings
No one to help you out
And I'll give you my opinion is the only one I got
They'll turn you into something whether you are it or not
Through a microscope lens dissecting your whole life
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by they should tremble at your sight
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
The people passing by they should tremble at your sight
But they'll never get you right
Everybody talks from the wrong side of the mask
Gliding through the universe as the world keeps rolling past
Don't give into the pressure 'cause it isn't gonna stop
The world goes on around you whether you like it or not
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by you, they should tremble at your sight
They'll never get you right
Get you right well they're never gonna get you right
Get you right well they're never gonna get you right
Get you right well they're never gonna get you right
Get you right well they're never gonna get you right
The opening lines of "Get Right Church" by MV/EE/Flower imply that life is like a game of chance, and fate can be a cruel mistress. The singer croons about being born "lost and dirt blonde," suggesting that from the moment we come into the world, we are already lost and fighting an uphill battle. We hear about a reckless and neglectful mother who allows her child to run wild without a curfew. The singer observes that nobody is stopping the child, implying that there is no one to offer guidance or support. The chorus repeats the phrase "they'll never get you right," indicating that the world and society are constantly trying to change and mold us, but they will never truly understand who we are.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the struggles of living in a world where there are good things mixed with the bad. The singer references "bad dreams" and "back seats," which are often associated with uncomfortable and unpleasant events. Despite all this, the singer suggests that we should embrace who we are because no matter how hard they try to dissect and scrutinize our lives, "they'll never get you right." The final verse advises the listener not to give in to the pressure to conform because the world rolls on regardless. In the end, the song offers a message of hope, suggesting that we should be true to ourselves and not worry about the judgments of others.
