Get Down
Soma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get down, you gotta lead
don't you know it's a violent need
Get down, you gotta try
To be shouted by a vicious crowd
Get down, you gotta feel
another chill, now you got a deal
Get down, you're in the line
push it all and you got no doubt
do you care? Do you care
it's a beautiful lie
you're in the car, in the car
now you make my wishes carried to life (out of the ground)
i've been trying, been trying
in a way I'm a fool
you can break, you can break
break all the rules
and you make my wishes carried to life (out of the ground)
get high(down) over the hill
get high over the hill




then it works out
then it works out

Overall Meaning

In Soma's song "Get Down," the lyrics seem to speak on the idea of conformity and the pressure to fit in with a crowd. The first two lines, "Get down, you gotta lead / don't you know it's a violent need," suggest that the singer is urging someone to take charge and lead their peers, but the tone of the lyrics implies that this is not necessarily a positive or admirable thing. The phrase "violent need" could be interpreted to mean that the desire to lead and stand out in a crowd can be aggressive and harmful.


The idea of conforming and following a group continues in the next few lines as the singer instructs the listener to "Get down, you gotta try / To be shouted by a vicious crowd." This suggests that the singer believes that being accepted by a group requires a certain level of aggression and intensity, which may not align with what the listener truly wants.


The chorus of the song, "Do you care? Do you care / it's a beautiful lie," seems to be speaking to the idea of disingenuousness and pretending to feel a certain way in order to fit in with a group. The line "you're in the car, in the car / now you make my wishes carried to life (out of the ground)" could suggest that the listener is accomplishing something by fitting in with a group, but the following lines "i've been trying, been trying / in a way I'm a fool" imply that this is a difficult and potentially misguided pursuit.


Overall, Soma's "Get Down" seems to touch on themes of conformity, the pressure to lead or fit in with a group, and the idea of pretending to be someone you're not. The somber tone of the lyrics suggests that this is not something to be celebrated or admired, but rather something that should be questioned and examined.
