Gotta Get It Right
Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had times like hell
But found simply no escape
Broken and depressed
I just missed all the best
My heart felt out of shape
(Gotta gotta get it right)
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
'Cause I felt I simply must
Let all my tears turn to dust
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
Nearly lost my face
In so many ways
And I tried to keep control
I just stayed alone
Did it all by my own
To crumble down the wall
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
'Cause I felt I simply must
Let all my tears turn to dust
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
Life turned
My heart learned
I can't reach the sky
Crash the gates
Find the fates
Where heaven waits
Where heaven waits
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
'Cause I felt I simply must
Let all my tears turn to dust
Gotta get it right
Gonna make me fight
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
Gotta get it right
Gotta gotta get it right

I remember well
I have vivid memories of the past
I had times like hell
I had experiences that were extremely difficult and trying
But found simply no escape
I was unable to find a way out of my difficult situation
Broken and depressed
I was emotionally damaged and feeling down
I just missed all the best
I missed out on good opportunities
My heart felt out of shape
I felt emotionally unfit and not equipped to handle my problems
(Gotta get it right)
I must get things right
(Gotta gotta get it right)
I really need to get things right
Gotta get it right

'Cause I felt I simply must
I felt a compelling need to do this
Let all my tears turn to dust
I need to move on from my past struggles
Nearly lost my face
I almost gave up
In so many ways
In many different aspects of my life
And I tried to keep control
I attempted to maintain my composure
I just stayed alone
I isolated myself
Did it all by my own
I handled it alone, without help from anyone else
To crumble down the wall
To break down the emotional barriers that were holding me back
Life turned
Life changed
My heart learned
I gained wisdom from my experiences
I can't reach the sky
I have limitations
Crash the gates
I will overcome any obstacles in my way
Find the fates
I will discover my destiny
Where heaven waits
Where happiness lies
Gotta get it right
I need to make things right
Gotta get it right
I need to make things right
Gotta gotta get it right
I really need to get things right
Cause I felt I simply must
I felt a compelling need to do this
Let all my tears turn to dust
I need to move on from my past struggles
Gonna make me fight
It will be a struggle, but I am determined to succeed
Gotta get it, gotta get it right tonight
I need to make things right today, without delay
