To get things right in life and very cool bassline that is sadly buried in the mix.

The "out single file, 9 in a row" line always seemed like a reference to Roskilde. I always took it to be about death and redemption. "I wanted to get right with it, with you" makes me picture someone asking for forgiveness from another person or a deity.

that's a pretty upbeat and playful song if it is about something that serious

I disagree, I think the levels are perfect. You're just an embittered bassist.

There was a download manager called Get Right. The Guitars are reminiscent of the old modem sound in places.

It's about Matt Cameron wanting Eddie to be open to Matt writing more lyrics. He just flipped the word around, it was originally called "Get Write"

Maybe it's jeff tone, the bassline is very articulated, it would be benefit from a snappier tone.

But I don't think its about getting high for the sake of it. I think its about using drugs for a more serious purpose.

I'll post this just so you can all bash me. I've said it before, I'll say it again. This song is one of the most underrated songs in the inventory. Sure, the vocals are a little rough, but I think the song is great.
