Come to me
Daymé Arocena Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sé que todo se
Merece
Sé que al fin la luz
Desvanece

Pero aquí adentro un corazón
Está muriendo por tu amor
Suena en tu reflejo

Solo una oportunidad

De empezar

Si la vida nos separara
Pero no significa el final
Si la tierra se nos abrira
Pero con suerte no se acabará

Si sé todo de ti
Puede que cuente lo bello de encontrar
Si la vida nos separara
Pero no significa, corazón
Que hoy
Come to me

Come to me

Que hoy
Come to me

(Scat)
Come to me Oh baby

Come to me
(Scat)

Come to me

Come to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daymé Arocena's "Come to Me" explore the idea of finding a second chance at love. The opening two lines acknowledge that everything in life deserves some recognition, and that the light eventually fades away. However, despite this, the heart inside the singer is still burning with love and desire for that special someone. The singer then implores this person to take one chance on love, and if they did, then the beautiful moments that come with it would be worth it.

The lyrics convey a message that life can be unpredictable, and that love can be lost and rediscovered again. The lines "Si la vida nos separara / Pero no significa el final" (If life separates us / But it doesn't mean it's the end) reflect that idea. The uncertainty of the future is also acknowledged in the line "Si la tierra se nos abriera / Pero con suerte no se acabará" (If the earth opens up beneath us / But hopefully it won't be the end). The song ends with the repetition of the song title "Come to Me", calling out to the person the singer desires with a heartfelt plea. The song is a powerful statement about the strength of love and the importance of seizing the opportunities it presents.
