Come On
DJ Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got monkey finger
He shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause you're so hard to see
Come together right now over me
The lyrics of DJ Wilson's "Come On" seem to be a tribute to the Beatles and their song "Come Together". The song is composed of seemingly random and abstract phrases that paint a vivid picture of a character referred to as "old flattop". This character exudes a sense of non-conformity and individualism as he does what he pleases, without worrying about societal norms. The lines "He say 'I know you, you know me' / One thing I can tell you is you got to be free" seem to have a deeper meaning, as they suggest that true freedom lies in an individual's ability to understand and accept others.
The lyrics also refer to some specific items like "joo-joo eyeball", "Ono sideboard", and "walrus gumboot". These phrases seem to be a nod to the Beatles' own use of abstract and seemingly nonsensical phrases in their music. The lines "Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease" suggest that the mysterious character might be a kind of ailing messiah figure, helping others to embrace their own imperfections and weaknesses.
Overall, "Come On" seems to be a message of empowerment to listeners, encouraging them to embrace their individuality, be free, and come together with others despite their differences.
