Get There

Hippie Sabotage's song "Get There" delves into the frustration and impatience that often accompany the journey toward one's goals. The lyrics express a sense of weariness and disillusionment with the constant struggle and the seemingly endless wait for success or fulfillment. The repeated question, "When we gon' get there," underscores the artist's impatience and desire for progress, reflecting a universal feeling of wanting to reach a destination without the prolonged uncertainty and effort that it often requires.

The song's verses paint a vivid picture of the artist's internal battle. Lines like "I've been sweatin' bullets" and "Hope my moment it don't disappear" convey a deep anxiety about missing out on opportunities and the fear that all the hard work might be in vain. The metaphor of driving without looking in the mirror suggests a relentless forward motion, a refusal to dwell on the past, and a focus on the future, even if the path ahead is unclear. This imagery captures the essence of perseverance despite the lack of immediate rewards or clear direction.

In the chorus, the artist finds solace in small moments of relaxation, like rolling a joint to unwind, but these moments are fleeting and do not fully alleviate the underlying stress. The acknowledgment that "no reward ever came without grind" highlights the acceptance of hard work as a necessary part of the journey. However, the repeated refrain of not knowing when they will "get there" emphasizes the ongoing struggle and the uncertainty that defines the artist's experience. The song ultimately conveys a message of resilience and determination, with the artist vowing to keep pushing forward despite the challenges and doubts.
