What an amazing, inspiring song with lyrics that deserve a second look for anyone wanting to live a meaningful life. It's about taking action and getting down to business when inspiration hits you. I've noticed that they've written some songs in the form of advice and this is one of them. The song guides us through the entire range of emotions when someone is inspired yet self sabotages for one reason or another. It takes us through realization, shame and awakening. Realization is within the first paragraph of the lyrics where he makes the realization that he's living an unfulfilled life. He tells us that we know better "I hope you got more sense than I, side step the curse". He then moves to shame "Think I'm despised when I look through the eyes of another" and how we feel shame or small when we know we should be taking action yet we procrastinate. Finally, he takes us to acceptance and an awakening "Something's happened A sudden slap in the right place In my face, I thank you" which brings us to the way things should be, an inspirational life. Also, the chorus talks about self sabotage and the stories we tell ourselves to justify our lack of initiative "Illusion I can't fix it You name it, hey The story stays the same" and how we have the ability in this moment to change our mind "Any trouble you can name Just go straight into accepted" All around, it's a profound and powerful song with advice that we should all heed.
Yeah a lot of 311's songs have advice in them. Don't Dwell, Reconsider Everything, Jupiter, Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm, among others. This is definitely one of those songs as well.

When 311 is saying get down, they are saying get with it. They also told people to "get down" in their song "bomb the town" as well.

"It's time to get down to the ground....just go straight into accepted....i won't look back and think twice....in the now, is why we're here"

Means: Understand your own reality, accept the way your life...
Means: Understand your own reality, accept the way your life has gone and don't look back, just live in the now.
There's more to be interpreted in the song, but this is one of the basics of the song.
