This means trying to understand something in this context.
“I need to get to grips with this new system.”
To get a grip of oneself means to pull oneself together. A little bit vague, calm down relax and control yourself.
The Stranglers did a great track called “Get a grip on yourself,” 1977
I read the lyrics but I don’t think they would illuminate anything, not sure I understand them.
Rock and roll is cool but don’t expect to make money?
