Get It
Matt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At 1 a.m., we go for gold
At 1 a.m., when we, we lost control
At 1 a.m., oh yeah, god damn, god damn
We don't want to go home

At 1 a.m., no wrong and right
Shades of grey
Black as the night

We all sing along
But the notes are wrong

Get it
Get it
Get it

At 1 a.m., let's make mistakes
At 1 a.m., when we, we cut the brakes
At 1 a.m., oh yeah, god damn, god damn
We don't want to go home

We all sing along
But the notes are wrong

Get it
Get it

Get it
Get it
Get it

We all sing along
But the notes are wrong

Get it




Get it
Get it

Overall Meaning

In Matt & Kim's song "Get It," the lyrics depict the feeling of being out and about late at night, when inhibitions are lower and excitement is higher. The repetition of "At 1 a.m." reinforces the idea that there is a particular time of night when things begin to feel more free and wild. The lyrics suggest a desire to let loose, to make mistakes, and to have a good time without worrying about societal norms and expectations.


The image of shades of grey and black as the night suggest a darker, more rebellious tone to the song. The line "We all sing along, but the notes are wrong" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea that in these moments, people are unconcerned with fitting in or being perfect - they are simply enjoying themselves and letting out their true selves. The repeated refrain of "Get it" adds to the overall energetic, celebratory feel of the song.


Overall, "Get It" is a fun, high-energy song that celebrates the feeling of late-night liberation and self-expression.

Totally forgot the energy Matt & Kim bring with their music. Alt. Nation played a song of theirs recently and remembered this one immediately. All these years have passed and it still has the same energy. This one’s on loop now!

@stacymcclelland2212

Saw Matt & Kim in Houston recently, they were AMAZING! It was impossible to quietly stand and watch, you can't sit still to their music.  I have been to a lot of concerts and this was by far the best one I have ever been to, they made it so much fun, really interacting with the crowd, you feel like you are part of the concert and not just watching it. If you ever have a chance to see them GO, you will not be sorry!!!
