C'mon C'mon
The Von Bondies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On another day c'mon c'mon
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I ever learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

As I make my way c'mon c'mon
These better nights that seem too long
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

And now this day these deepened wounds
Don't heal so fast
Can't hear me croon
Of a million lies that speak no truth
Of a time gone by that now is through

Overall Meaning

The Von Bondies's song C'mon C'mon is an emotionally charged tune that takes listeners on a trip down memory lane. The song talks about how life was much simpler and enjoyable when the singer was younger, but now things have changed, and they are pondering their past actions. The lyrics "On another day c'mon c'mon, With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong" suggest that the singer is reminiscing about past adventures with loved ones and how they felt invincible at that time. The phrase "ropes I tied" could be a reference to the trust created among friends or lovers, which sometimes leads to actions that may be considered reckless but necessary for our growth.


Additionally, the lyrics "With my teeth locked down, I can see the blood, of a thousand men who have come and gone" may mean that the singer has been through many challenges and has had to fight to keep going, but the memories of those struggles remain present in their mind. They also hint at the mortality of human beings, that they are fragile and can die at any moment. In simpler words, he may be scared of losing the permanent relationships he has made in his life, and the memories he has shared with loved ones.


Lastly, the lyrics "Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon), Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon), Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)" show that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the consequences of their past actions. They are questioning whether their choices were justified, or they were plain wrong, and whether they are capable of learning from the mistakes committed. The repetition of the phrase "c'mon c'mon" throughout the song is an invitation to the listeners to join in the singer's reflection.

Lyrics:

On another day, c'mon c'mon
With these ropes I tied, can we do no wrong?
Now we grieve, cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down, I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve, cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? C'mon, c'mon
Was it right to leave? C'mon, c'mon
Will I ever learn? C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

As I make my way, c'mon c'mon
These better nights that seem too long
Now we grieve, cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down, I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve, cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? C'mon, c'mon
Was it right to leave? C'mon, c'mon
Will I never learn? C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Is it safe to say? C'mon, c'mon
Was it right to leave? C'mon, c'mon
Will I never learn? C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

And know this day, these deepened wounds
Don't heal so fast, can't hear me croon
Of a million lies that speak no truth
Of a time gone by that now is through

I used to play Burnout 3 around 10 years ago, this song is so symbolic it even hurts me - Things were good when we were young...

You wrote your comment five years ago. The “You” back then had NO idea of what was yet to come.

Greetings from the future where the term "Rock" is considered offensive by people in charge of radio stations like KROQ.
