Come Together
Sopa De Cabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
growing up slowly, he got,
joo joo eyeball he one,
holly roller he got.
Hair down to his knees,
got to be a joker he just do what he please.
toe jam football he got,
monkey finger he shoot,
Cocacola he says.
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 bag production, he got,
walrus goomboat he got,
oh no sideboard he one,
spinal cracker he got.
Feet down below his knees,
hold you in his arm chair, you can feel is disease,
come together, right now, over me.
He roller coaster he got,
early wearning, he got,
muddy water he one,
mojo filter he says.
One and one and one is three,
got to be goodlooking cause i so hard to see,
come together, right now, over me.
One and one and one is three,
got to be goodlooking cause i so hard to see,
come together, right now,
come together, right now,
over me.
The lyrics of "Come Together" by Sopa De Cabra are a tribute to The Beatles' song with the same title. The song describes a unique character called "Flat Top" who possesses various eccentricities such as having hair down to his knees, a joo joo eyeball, and monkey fingers. The song also mentions a few quirky phrases like Cocacola and toejam football. The character has a strange disease in his arms, but he holds you in his armchair. The song urges people to come together and be free, emphasizing the importance of unity.
The song's meaning is open to interpretation, but it could be perceived as a call to action for people to put aside their differences and join together for a common purpose. The lyrics are poetic, and the imagery created is mystical, with a surrealistic touch to the descriptions of the character.
