Got Myself Together
The Stremes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the speed of light communication,
Rushing through the windows in my mind,
Searching for a random destination,
Running from the place I left behind,

Yeah I got my, got myself together,
The day that you laid your eyes on me,
And nothing, nothing could be better,
Baby than to hold you close to me,

Come on up and catch the revolution,
Reach across the distance far and wide,
We're chasing down the final resolution,
It's echoing across the mountain-side,

Come on and get your, get yourself together,
Take the unexpected point of view,
Cause there is something, something that is better,
Baby and it's there for me and you,

One more time for those in desperation,
Hanging on for someone to arrive,
Sweeping through the maze of information,
Wondering how it feels to be alive,

And we must keep our, keep ourselves together,
Forever now until the day is done,
Cause there is nothing, nothing that is better,
Underneath the shadow of the sun,

Stay with me, stay with me,
Who knows which way the wind will blow?
Come with me, come with me,
There's still such a long way to go,

But yeah I got my, got myself together,
The day that you laid your eyes on me,




And nothing, nothing could be better,
Baby than to hold you close to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Stremes' song "Got Myself Together" speak of speeding through life and searching for a fulfilling destination. The song begins by describing the pace of modern communication, likening it to the speed of light rushing through our minds. The lyrics suggest that this constant rush causes us to constantly search for something more. The idea of running from a place left behind is introduced, drawing a parallel between physical movement and emotional displacement.


The chorus then enters with the revelation that everything changed the day the singer met someone else. This person brings a sense of comfort and completeness, something they had been searching for. The lyrics describe the feeling of being together as the absolute best thing, and the search for something more seems to end with this connection.


The second verse then returns to the idea from the first verse of chasing after something, but presents it as a more unified group effort. The lyrics encourage listeners to join in a revolution, to reach out to each other, and work together to find resolution. This resolution is described as echoing across the mountainside, a powerful image of unity and success.


The bridge of the song reminds us that there are still those in desperation, searching for someone to arrive and rescue them. The singer then reminds us once again of the importance of staying together and remaining supportive of each other. The final refrain repeats the idea that the singer finally found the thing they were looking for, in the form of the person they hold close. They revel in the fact that nothing is better than holding someone you love.
