Getting to grips?

Question

There´s a song called "Sexed up", by Robbie Williams, which sings:

"Loose lips, sunk ships,
well, I'm getting to grips to what you said."

My doubt is: what does "getting to grips" mean?

Answer 1

Getting to grips means accepting and understanding.

He's saying:

"Well, I'm accepting and understanding what you said"

Usually it refers to something painful, like:

Getting to grips that your dog got run over by a car

Getting to grips that the person you love only wants to be your friend
