Lyrics
Get a grip
Encouragement to gain control or composure
Of this
Emphasizing the subject of gaining control
There's nothing more that I wanted you to admit
Expressing a desire for honesty or admission
So get a grip
Reiteration of the need to gain control
Of it
Reiterating the focus on gaining control
I never would've asked for more for you to commit
Stating that minimal commitment was required
To commit
Repetition emphasizing commitment
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Non-lexical vocables, possibly indicating frustration or intensity
Spinnin' out of control
Describing a situation of losing control
Life goin' round the merry go round
Metaphorical description of life's chaotic nature
I'm the ax head you're the handle
Metaphor comparing individuals in a close relationship
Gotta get a grip or I'm hitting the ground
Expressing the urgency to gain control to avoid negative consequences
Lotta little kids that I grew up around
Referencing peers from childhood who may face challenges
Hit the crib and they double cup bound
Describing a social scene involving substance use
Flip the lid cause they feeling up wound
Depicting emotional pain or distress
Pick em up then it put em back down
Symbolizing a cycle of repetitive behavior
And then it compound
Describing the compounding nature of consequences
It always comes back
Highlighting the inevitability of facing consequences
Got a hunger I don't mean no snacks
Expressing a strong desire or ambition
Crawling under epidermis
Referring to a deep, internal struggle
Cannot wait you know it won't pass
Impatience for a challenging situation to end
Get that gas get that lift
Advocating for seeking motivation or inspiration
You're that square peg know you won't fit
Suggesting a non-conformist attitude
Hope you don't slip
Expression of hope for avoiding mistakes or setbacks
Cope and quote this
Encouraging reflection and citation of advice
Make up your mind you're goal just don't quit
Encouraging perseverance towards a goal
You're goal just don't quit nah
Reiteration of the importance of not giving up on a goal
Ask me for the time and I'll tell you right now
Readiness to provide information or assistance
The only time that matters that's what I found out
Stressing the significance of the present moment
All we are is moments baby I got no doubt
Philosophical reflection on the nature of existence
That's what it's about so
Stating that life is comprised of moments
Get a grip
Reiteration of the advice to gain control
Of this
Emphasizing the desire for honesty or admission
There's nothing more that I wanted you to admit
Reiteration of the need to gain control
So get a grip
Reiterating the focus on gaining control
Of it
Stating that minimal commitment was required
I never would've asked for more for you to commit
Repetition emphasizing commitment
To commit
Final emphasis on the importance of commitment
