Get Up! (feat. Skrillex) Lyrics
I, I am clearly broken and no one knows what to do
Pieces of the puzzle don't fit, so, I pound them into you
Itching is the pulse inside
Creeping out to come alive
Its just doing what its going to do
Times are looking grim these days
Holding onto everything
Its hard to draw the line
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
I can't wait to rip my eyes out and look at you
Peace through pain is precious especially when its done by you
Itching is the pulse inside
Creeping out to come alive
Its just doing what its going to do
Times are looking grim these days
Holding onto everything
Its hard to draw the line
And I'm, I'm hiding in this empty space
Tortured by my memories of what I've left behind
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Times are looking grim these days
Holding onto everything
Its hard to draw the line
And I'm, I'm hiding in this empty space
Tortured by my memories of what I've left behind
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Pieces of the puzzle don't fit, so, I pound them into you
Itching is the pulse inside
Creeping out to come alive
Its just doing what its going to do
Holding onto everything
Its hard to draw the line
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Peace through pain is precious especially when its done by you
Itching is the pulse inside
Creeping out to come alive
Its just doing what its going to do
Holding onto everything
Its hard to draw the line
And I'm, I'm hiding in this empty space
Tortured by my memories of what I've left behind
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Holding onto everything
Its hard to draw the line
And I'm, I'm hiding in this empty space
Tortured by my memories of what I've left behind
Shut the fuck up! Get up!
Shut the fuck up! Get up!

JD said this:
'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the fuck up and have some fun. Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

Well it is kind of hard for people to have much fun when this world is clearly coming to nothing - not just America but the entire world. Europe is also on the verge of financial collapse, and there are tyrants around the world who would like to use this manufactured crisis to bring about a new world order. So yeah, "times are looking grim these days" - and sadly, much of the world has brought it on themselves.

Wtf man.. Jonathan's so retarded sometimes. Can't believe he'd want to write a song about having fun without caring about the world around you.

@DisguiseDK Not to mention the fact that he made a whole career out of bitching about his own problems, that's how he got rich and now that he's above everyone else he doesn't want to hear about real problems that the world has and these poor people are struggling, many of the same people that got him to where he's at by buying his albums and supporting him.

the narrator is humanity seeing how radically broken it is, its hopeless situation and deep inside the species, something stirs and starts to come alive
Can't wait to see in a whole new way, and in the middle of all the agony is the eye of the storm, a calm that can't be touched,
peace through pain is the most radical kind, a sacred surrender
and the world burns on so the narrator holds tighter not to lose the little it thinks it has haunted by the past, dragged down by the self importance it has to drop to make it to the other side
well given my mental state lately i believe this song is about a relationship
1st verse: he is sad and "broken" trying to force shit to work feeling dead but its time to
Chorus: everything is bad and holding onto the bullshit not knowing or being able to stop so shut the fuck up quit feeling like shit get angry, get up and demand the respect and love you were promised and deserve!
2nd verse: utter desperation the want to tear at your face and beat yourself in frustration while seeing the other for who and what they are, so used to the pain that it becomes the norm. but there is something buried down that is working its way out like it does eventually, rage!
2nd chorus: everything is bad and holding onto the bullshit not knowing or being able to stop hiding behind submission and fear, unable to get rid of the memories of better days before all this bullshit. so do something about it.
meh dunno but it feels right and is a decent start i believe :)
I feel like this song is about how our modern politics are crumbling but being forced together through violence and lies. Now we have a runaway system that none of us bear to admit is fucked up and heading for doom.
My interpretation of this song is really simple. If you know about J.D. then you know he has a lot it mental health issues due to his childhood and other things ( which he openly talks about) In a lot of his songs he separates himself from his superego ( inner boss/inner critic) and this song is no different. Instead he’s consciously telling his superego to shut up and do something about all the negative crap you’re throwing out there. I sorta consider this a positive song.

@Ultraviolet7 when I say throwing out there I mean his superego attacking his own conscious
