Dinosaur Jr. - Get Me Lyrics






I don't see you, I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Guess, it's on and on

On a day, maybe I'd show you
But it's the least of all I go through
But the thing is I don't know you
And it's on and on

Trembling words
Don't make my eyes close
And if anyone then you'd know
I can't find out 'cause it won't show
And it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray that maybe you're right
But if you don't, maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

When it takes too long
I lose it I'll just hang while you abuse it
If you knew then why'd you choose it
'Cause it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

Anytime I'm there to show you
But if it takes too long I know you
Out the door just leavin' me screwed
And it's on and on
Everytime I try to fight it It's so hard to seem excited
And if you don't turn I'll bite it
And it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

[Solo]

I don't see you, I won't call you I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Yes, it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray maybe that you're right
But if you don't maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

[Solo]

Dinosaur Jr. Get Me Comments
  1. J.... R....

    3 of the greatest solos ever recorded

  2. T.... B....

    guitar God

  3. F.... M....

    Oh’ man...this song puts that old familiar taste in my mouth, when all my best friends were still alive and it was just a bad habit.

    F.... M....

    You've just made me cry...i know EXACTLY what you mean .....❤

  4. M.... T....

    Hands down my favorite DJ song the guitar solos are sublime

  5. P.... M....

    Best Song Ever?

  6. M.... ....

    Huh... never heard this song before today, but it's great! A crossword clue today was 'Feel the Pain', so I re-discovered that song, and that led me to this one. Kinda makes me miss the 90s. (Answer was "ACHE' for my fellow nerds)

  7. R.... H....

    J Mascis is a guitar god. If I could only use one song to prove that to someone, this would be the one

  8. T.... ....

    Yeaaahahahahhhhh.. chillll love that sound

  9. d.... p....

    i miss being young

  10. W.... ....

    You’re not gonna get me through this are youuuuuuuoooouuuuuuuuu?

  11. D.... H....

    Seen them live a bunch and they get better every time. Mr Smalls in Pittsburgh last fall was epic. Underrated songwriter and guitarist - top of my list. Makes it look way too easy live.

  12. M.... j....

    Sounds good from the "Attitude Adjustment " lineup on WZBT 91.1 FM Gettysburg's address for the Best New Music.

  13. C.... W....

    This song's okay but my all time favorite song is 'cry and puke'. Cruddy name but GREAT song.

  14. M.... ....

    What a beaut

  15. n.... ....

    This song means the world to me

  16. G.... T....

    It's defiantly wrabbit season

  17. J.... R....

    Jesus Christ how he resolved the solo at 4:31

  18. G.... ....

    best solo i've ever heard

  19. M.... E....

    J Mas for prez 2020!!!

  20. M.... E....

    Mine and my husband’s tunes since 1993...over 25 years. TY DJr!

  21. M.... R....

    Your not gonna get me through this are you ??

    M.... R....

    Melisa Rodriguez you seem interesting

  22. s.... f....

    Late 90s, hanging out at the river, up the lake, summer time drives to no where in particular. House full of friends and music and pot most likely. Was an amazing time, no stress or worry. Such a different place back then.

  23. J.... C....

    It's no secret anymore. J is one of the greatest guitar players of all time

  24. S.... ....

    Always blasting this in my car, track 6 on repeat for days !

  25. B.... A....

    every dream is shot by daylight.......................... J

  26. A.... ....

    And if you don't turn I'll bite it.

  27. N.... G....

    Great song! Music can touch everyone so differently... this song got me through my darkest days..

  28. l.... ....

    Is it me or is it all you?

  29. H.... C....

    Looks like the same album cover to Pepper's "Kona Town'

  30. C.... F....

    one of the best groups that didn't come from the UK .

  32. M.... D....

    I met Mascis and thanked him deeply for his music and he said '.................thanks......' and I was enthralled by his word lol
    Beautiful musician x

    G.... M....

    Glenn M YOU LUCKY AF. Wow.

    G.... M....

    What a groupie

  38. U.... R....

    I've always loved the strange chord at 3:44, right after the penultimate solo

  52. W.... G....

    Had to come here because the "official video" cuts of the 2nd solo, which is my all-time favorite piece of music.

    W.... G....

    Can't cut this solo

    W.... G....

    All the solos are amazi g . Increased in intesity and frustration ~420

    W.... G....

    Exactly! I’m right there with ya

  53. T.... G....

    fantastic guitar solo by J. Mascis!

    T.... G....

    *Solo's

  54. A.... y....

    This song reminds me of the novel "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner 

  55. j.... e....

    I was 17 when this came out and at college, awesome times, best of all there wasn't x factor around then!!!

    j.... e....

    @jace elliott I was 17 in Amherst, MA at the time... so good.

    j.... e....

    +jace elliott im only 15 but i really love this people would think i love pop etc but i end up loving amazing bands like this

    j.... e....

    +Don Hollen what was it like to be in fucking Amherst at that time? Must have been an experience. Dino J, Pixies, Etc.

    j.... e....

    +Cary Rumley Seriously! i'm surprised they never collaborated

    j.... e....

    Buffalo Tom, too. I remember when Buffalo Tom premiered on MtV, and called themselves a Boston band. I was upset at the time but, now that i'm older, i get it.

    The 5 college area was AMAZING back then. Amherst College had some pretty creative chemistry students :)

  56. K.... C....

    captured genius...

  57. s.... m....

  58. E.... B....

    E.... B....

    Both use a Gadd5 open chord

  59. B.... ....

    So... the 2 best guitar solos ever in the SAME SONG?!?  nice

    B.... ....

    It's unbelievable!!!! So much emotion in those solos ~420

    B.... ....

    Thumb...live on MTV: https://youtu.be/FGDtxuvfWKA

    B.... ....

    @Mary Ellen Leach yeeeah! the best live solo

    B.... ....

    @Matheus Santanna Check out Starla by Smashing Pumpkins.. last 5 min or so of the song is Corgan just shredding,.

    B.... ....

    Don't forget the solo in Start Choppin! AWESOME

  60. R.... ....

    How can i download this song?

    R.... ....

    go to url-to-mp3 ( dot ) com and copy the link from this video and paste it in the designated box and click "convert." Voila: instant download.

    R.... ....

    @bob loblaw
    thanks.

    R.... ....

    no probs brah

  61. b.... l....

    I love this song so much. the melody, the rhythm, and his voice all come together to make a certain melancholy I feel an affinity with.

    PLEASE does anyone know what the lyrics mean (if anything at all)? I feel this song so much but I can't quite seem to decipher what it all means.

    b.... l....

    I've always just taken it to be a love song about someone who couldn't care less, and is leading him on... It's on and on, you're out the door just leaving me screwed... you're not gonna get me through this are you?

    b.... l....

    +bob loblaw j's dad died around the time this record was written, and i think the 'you're not gonna get me through this are you' part might have something to do with that. a lot of j's love songs deal with disappointment, miscommunication and alienation, especially in regards to the early part of a relationship before trust is established. once he got married and settled down the same themes are still there but in the context of a steady relationship.

    b.... l....

    This album was largely written with his ex in mind - Uma Thurman. So the story goes, anyway... google around...

    b.... l....

    shneizah he never dated Thurman .. that was just a gag in a video

  62. C.... ....

    ♥♥♥♥ me cago en vos, Mascis

  63. b.... e....

    Love this. You're not gonna get me through this are you?".

  68. M.... C....

    It's 4:04 and after, it's definitely 4:04 when i realised it,..... 4:04 onwards, it's fucking beautiful, .......after 4:04 I knew loving guitar music all these years was worth it!

  69. i.... ....

    Eu conheço : D e tenho uns amigos que conhecem tbm e gostam. Que bom que vc curte. Muito boa essa banda mesmo.

  70. V.... P....

    4:04 and beyond gives me the effin chills! it's like it belongs there

    the vocals on the verses sound a bit like elvis costello :D

  72. J.... A....
