Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

"Come Together" is a song by Park Stickney that uses a lot of psychedelic and nonsensical lyrics to convey a message about freedom and unity. The lyrics describe a hodgepodge of metaphors that allude to the Beatles, such as "old flat top" referring to John Lennon's hairstyle, "joo joo eyeballs" referring to George Harrison's Hindu beliefs, and "spinal cracker" referring to Paul McCartney's interest in chiropractic care. The opening lines of the song set the stage for a journey, with the singer introducing himself and setting a loose, carefree tone.
The next set of lyrics describes the character's physical appearance in a bizarre way, mentioning his toes being covered in a substance called "toe jam football" and having a "monkey finger." These absurd descriptions serve to further reinforce the idea that the central character is not bound by societal norms and expectations. The following lines suggest that this character is familiar with the listener and vice versa, hinting at the idea that the listener is invited to join in on the character's journey towards freedom and unity.
The remaining lyrics continue to portray the character through various metaphors and allusions, such as "muddy water" referring to the blues and "Mojo filter" hinting at a spell that is cast to bring people together. The song ends off with the repeated refrain of "Come together, right now, over me," emphasizing the idea that in order to achieve true unity, people must cast aside their differences and come together for some greater cause.
