. Which song? Or can you supply the accompanying lyrics? Without context, I would hazard to guess that get right with me = make amends; regain a proper or just relationship. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Good afternoon Mr Micawber,
Here is the song by Depeche Mode (it's called get right with me):
I will have faith in man, That is hard to understand. Show some humility, you have the ability, Get right with me.
Friends, if you've lost your way, You will find it again some day. Come down from your pedestals, And open your mouth - that's all. Get right with me.
Life is such a short thing That I cannot comprehend. But if this life were a bought thing, There are ways I know we'd mend.
People, take my advice. Already told you once or twice. Don't waste your energy making apologies, Get right with me. |

. It apparently means Get right with God-- which means to get in His good graces by repenting one's sins, maintaining one's faith, doing good deeds, etc.
Here right = in conformance with justice or law or morality. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
