Let's Get Together
Van Alexander And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get lost, let them send out alarms
And if they think we're rather rude
We'll tell the world we're in a crazy mood
Let's defrost, in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed, off everybody's list
We'll tell the world that we have found each other
Darling, let's get lost.
The lyrics of Van Alexander And His Orchestra's song Let's Get Together communicate the strong desire to escape from the world and be completely immersed in each other's company. The usage of the repeated phrase "let's get lost" accentuates this desire for a shared escape. The idea of the world functioning without their presence and being able to have complete freedom from social norms is echoed through the words, "Let them send out alarms, and if they think we're rather rude, we'll tell the world we're in a crazy mood." Essentially, the song is a romantic call to leave the world behind and be lost in love.
The subsequent lines, "Let's defrost in a romantic mist, Let's get crossed off everybody's list" conveys the urgent need to let go of any societal expectations and surrender to a moment of pure romanticism. The final line "We’ll tell the world that we have found each other" emphasizes that the only thing that matters is love, and that the relationship that arises from that love is the cornerstone in these lovers’ lives.
