C'mon
Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 no 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
The lyrics of the song "c'mon c'mon" by the Artist convey a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the past. The opening lines, "On another day c'mon c'mon, With these ropes I tied, can we do no wrong," suggest a desire to recapture the innocence and freedom of youth. The singer reminisces about the good times they had when they were young. However, there is a sense of sorrow and loss, indicated by the lines, "Now we grieve 'cause now is gone, Things were good when we were young." This highlights the bittersweet nature of the memories and the longing for a time when everything seemed simpler and happier.
The verse continues with the imagery of locked teeth and the sight of blood, symbolizing the struggles and battles faced throughout life. The mention of a "thousand men who have come and gone" suggests the transient nature of human existence, and the recognition that time passes and experiences fade away. The repetition of the line "Now we grieve 'cause now is gone" emphasizes the theme of loss and the inevitability of change.
The chorus poses questions about the singer's choices and their ability to learn from past mistakes. "Is it safe to say? Was it right to leave? Will I ever learn?" These questions demonstrate self-reflection and a desire for self-improvement. The repetition of "c'mon" throughout the song serves as a rallying cry, urging the singer to move forward and embrace life despite the regrets and uncertainties they may have.
In the final lines, the lyrics evoke a sense of emotional pain and a struggle to heal from past wounds. The singer acknowledges the existence of lies and acknowledges the passing of a time that is now over. There is a hint of resignation and acceptance that the past cannot be changed, but the wounds still linger.
Overall, "c'mon c'mon" explores themes of nostalgia, reflection, loss, and the continuous search for personal growth. It encapsulates the universal human experience of grappling with the past and the desire to learn and move forward.

On another day c'mon c'mon
Let's move forward, urging each other to keep going
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Despite the constraints we have placed on ourselves, can we still succeed?
Now we grieve cause now is gone
We feel sorrow because the past has vanished
Things were good when we were young
We reminisce fondly about the past when life was better
With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Through determination and persistence, I can see the struggles and sacrifices made
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
The experiences and legacies of countless individuals who have lived before us

These better nights that seem too long
Although the nights are more peaceful, they feel never-ending
And no this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast
The pain and scars we bear take time to mend
Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truth
My singing voice is drowned out by countless false statements that hold no authenticity
Of a time gone by that now is through
Referencing a period in the past that has now reached its end
