Get a Grip
Navigating Heartbreak: Les Shirley's Emotional Journey in 'Get a Grip'
Lyrics
Give me another night
Desire for another chance or opportunity.
Let me go back in time
Wishing to return to a previous moment in time.
It's all I can think about
Constantly occupied by this thought or memory.
For a second I was alive
For a brief moment, feeling alive or vibrant.
And I know it feels like hell
Feeling dreadful or extremely unpleasant.
Trying to defend myself isn't helping
Attempting to justify oneself but it's ineffective.
Oh I wish we never met
Regretting the initial meeting or encounter.
Now i'm stuck with all these feelings
Feeling trapped by emotions resulting from the meeting.
I can't forget
Unable to erase from memory.
Get a grip
An exhortation to regain control or composure.
Get a grip, girl
A repeated call for composure, particularly directed at a girl.
Get a grip
A repeated urge to regain control.
It's going down from here
A realization that things are worsening.
It's not like we didn't try
Acknowledging effort despite an inevitable outcome.
It just wasn't meant to be
Recognizing that the relationship wasn't destined to succeed.
I hate it when your eyes meet
Discomfort when making eye contact with the other person.
It's making me so angry
Feeling intense anger as a result.
And I know I shouldn't care
Realizing the irrationality of caring but unable to stop.
But it's eating me inside, did you notice?
The emotional impact is consuming internally.
And I said that I'd be there
A commitment made but unable to fulfill.
Couldn't fill in the void if you asked me to
Recognizing an inability to fill the emotional gap.
I'm a fool for staying there
Feeling foolish for continuously returning to the situation.
Going back every time it's no different
Every return doesn't result in any change.
Let me have a piece of us
Requesting a token or memento from the past.
The one you won't be missing
A piece that won't be valued or missed by the other.
The one you won't even know is gone
Feeling insignificant or unnoticed by the other person.
Get a grip
Repeated urging to regain control or composure.
Get a grip, girl
Reiterating the call for composure, specifically directed at a girl.
Get a grip
A repeated plea to regain control.
It's going down from here
Acknowledging a downward trajectory from this point.
My heart is beating, beating
Anxiety or intense emotions causing a physical response.
Oh it's pumping in my chest
Feeling the intense physical sensation of a pounding heart.
And I wonder what's the cost of
Questioning the price of living without any regrets.
Living with no regrets
Desiring to live without remorse or guilt.
My heart is beating, beating
Reiteration of the physical response due to emotions.
Oh it's pumping in my chest
Reiterating the intense sensation of a pounding heart.
And I long for what is lost
Longing for what has been lost in the situation.
And I wish you the best
Wishing well for the other person despite personal turmoil.
