The song "Get Low" by James Vincent McMorrow is a reflection on the complexities of relationships and the ways in which people can hurt each other. The lyrics suggest that the narrator has heard that someone they once cared deeply about is getting married, but there is an undercurrent of bitterness and resentment in their words. The song explores themes of power, control, and manipulation in relationships. The narrator seems to imply that the person getting married has bought people's silence and is using the threat of violence to get what they want. Despite this, the narrator acknowledges that they still have strong feelings for this person, admiring the way their heart has no rules and how they handle no fools. The song is also a commentary on the nature of forgiveness and how people can cling to the hope of redemption even when the other person's behavior remains unchanged. The narrator describes how they and others are praying for forgiveness from the person getting married, even though nothing ever seems to change. Overall, "Get Low" is a complex and nuanced exploration of power dynamics, forgiveness, and the complexities of human relationships.
