The lyrics to Strange Fruit Project's song "Get Live" convey a sense of frustration and a desire for authenticity in a society that is characterized by assumptions and misinformation. The first line, "everybody's livin, givin the facts but they're still making assumptions," suggests that despite the abundance of information available to us, people still rely on biases and stereotypes to draw conclusions about others. The singer's response to this is to "get live," to embrace life fully and authentically, rather than being constrained by preconceptions.
The second line, "got the spillin in my bones," further emphasizes this desire for authenticity. The singer seems to be suggesting that they are bursting with a need to express themselves honestly and fully, without reservation or compromise. This is echoed in the line "my mind's a black mat," which suggests a blank canvas waiting to be filled with creative expression.
Overall, "Get Live" is a call to break free from the constraints of society and embrace life fully, without the constraints of assumptions and preconceptions.
