Bonus
C.O.M.M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under Dreaming Spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? - I got high
What did you feel there? - Well I cried
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
I'll tell you what I'll do - What will you do?
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school - Won't that be cool
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there? - We'll get high
What will we touch there? - We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
The lyrics to C.O.M.M's song Bonus evoke feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era of psychedelic freedom and exploration. The opening lines describe traversing "Bridges of Sighs" and resting one's eyes in shades of green, suggesting a journey into nature and a retreat from the pressures of modern society. The reference to "Dreaming Spires" and "Itchycoo Park" grounds the song in the cultural context of 1960s Britain, where experimentation with drugs and alternative lifestyles provided a counterpoint to rigid social norms.
The chorus repeats the refrain "It's all too beautiful," suggesting a sense of awe and wonder at the sensory experiences of being high and immersing oneself in nature. The verses describe the singer's desire to "blow my mind" and "feed the ducks with a bun," a playful and whimsical image that underscores the light-hearted spirit of the song. The call to "miss out school" and reject the "words of fools" speaks to a desire to rebel against authority and forge one's own path in life.
Overall, Bonus is a celebration of the beauty and joy that can be found in the pursuit of freedom and self-discovery, even if it involves breaking the rules and risking social conformity.
