Come On
Breather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day I woke up and I realized, that my mind wasn't mine anymore
I got up and took off the top of my
Head and I lay my mind on the floor

Just then a strange sound made me look
Around, and I saw you in the flames by the door

My God, said I, with my one liquid eye am i dreaming?
Or am I insane?
Insane insane insane

It aint what I feel its the way you
Appeal to the beat of my heart of my soul.
Its the things that you do that you make me go
Through when I know that i'm losing control...
Yeah yeah.

It aint what you say,
Its the games that you play that I make it all come true
It aint what you do Its the things I go
Through when you do what you do what you do...
Yeah yeah!!!, come on...
Come on...




Come on baby come on...
Come on baby come on.

Overall Meaning

The Breathers' song Come On is a psychedelic rock track that might leave your head spinning with its bizarre and surreal lyrics. The song opens with the singer waking up one day and realizing that his mind is no longer his own. He then proceeds to take off the top of his head and lay his mind on the floor. As the song progresses, he hears a strange sound and sees someone or something in flames by the door, causing him to question his sanity. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing that it's not just what the person does or says, but the way they make him feel that causes him to "lose control."


The song's lyrics are both surreal and poetic, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that suits its psychedelic rock sound. The image of the singer taking off the top of his head and placing his mind on the floor is particularly memorable and unsettling. It suggests a loss of control over one's own mind and a surrender to external forces. The imagery of someone or something being on fire also adds to the sense of chaos and uncertainty in the song.


Musically, Come On is an energetic and upbeat rock song that features distorted guitars, a driving drum beat, and trippy, echoey vocals. The song is a snapshot of the late '60s psychedelic rock scene, with its wild and experimental sound and cryptic lyrics.
