Get Up, Get Up, Get Up Lyrics
five days after black and red collide
the motion sickness passed
i'll be the first to stand
behind that weathered door
i thought it would be safest
my head is dizzy now
i thought we’d overcome
we might not make it home tonight
crawling on the ash, she’s pitiful
she's lost her sense of light
she has to hold my hand
had i known we might be
two kids without their jackets
my fear would come alive
i wouldn’t love her now
she might not make home tonight
get up, get up, get up
the motion sickness passed
i'll be the first to stand
behind that weathered door
i thought it would be safest
my head is dizzy now
i thought we’d overcome
we might not make it home tonight
she's lost her sense of light
she has to hold my hand
had i known we might be
two kids without their jackets
my fear would come alive
i wouldn’t love her now
she might not make home tonight

I took this as a couple after a car accident. Black and red - two cars collide. He's the first to stand because he's okay, but the girl is hurt so badly she can't get up. All he can do is hold her hand and hope that they make it home together.
This is EXACTLY how I interpreted it, and I'm shocked that it took 3 years for someone else to give you a +1 for it.

This song could be a different "Camera Angle" for Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss".

As long as they are together they could possibly get through things. together they are strong. "and i know we might be to kids without there jackets" song is so powerful. GET UP !
beautiful song. but their lyric booklet says 'motion sickness past' instead of 'passed.' that sorta gives it a different meaning
This is one of of the most powerful songs I've heard in so long.
The first line has some pretty deep symbolism in it. the 5 days refers to pain and suffering and black and red refer to death and love. so death and love are colliding and it has caused pain and suffering. he has goten over the tragedy and is the first one to do so. the door refers to some sort of transition that he thought would be good but it didnt work out so well and this love he has might not last......
I actually think it has something to do with a car accident, from what 'five days after black and red collide' implies. It's a gorgeous song. It's been my favorite for years.

I actually envisioned a post atom-bomb recovery. It fits quite well. They waited five days after the impact, he finally woke up and got the strength to stand up from where the building that they were in(he found a place behind a door right before the impact) and he fears that they will die. She can't see because the flash blinded her so she crawls on the ashes towards him. [not too sure about the jacket part] but he is very hurt because he cares for her so much yet she looks as if she will not make it. Its Tragic but beautiful.
I got something along those lines myself I took the jacket part to simply mean they're just two kids, unprepared, inexperienced, etc. And that it doesn't matter because its the hand they were dealt.

I love this song, it's so powerful and beautiful, just like the rest of their music :P
Hes watched as this person been through so much trouble in there lives. he cares alot about them and he tells them things will get better. he beleives they deserve the best in life. he just wants to be there to make sure everything is alright.
