Come to me
Dispatch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cast a spell on me
Don't shake my constellation
I've been riding out, holding time
Man, I got so lost
At such a cost
I let you down

See the love shining down on you
Tell me things only we can do

Come to me
Come to me
Before you need it
Come to me
Come to me
Before you need it
Before you need it

Underneath it all
I cashed in my chips to win
I thought I looked so steady
Baby, I was ready
What a fight, I lost it

See the love shining down on you
Tell me things only we can do

Come to me
Come to me
Before you need it
Come to me
Come to me
Before you need it
Before you need it

I'm always up in the clouds
I don't want to come down
I'm always up in the clouds
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down

I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down




I don't want to come down
I don't want to come down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dispatch's song "Come to Me" are about a lost love and the singer's desire for their partner to come back to them before they realize they need it. The first verse mentions the idea of being under a spell and not wanting to shake the constellation or the stars that guide and define one's path. The singer has been riding out, holding time, and trying to find their way back to the person they let down. The line "what a fight, I lost it" suggests that there was conflict in the relationship that the singer wasn't able to overcome, leading to the breakup.


The chorus encourages the partner to come back to the singer before they need it, as if the singer knows that eventually, they will realize they want to be with them again. The repetition of "before you need it" emphasizes this idea, while the line "tell me things only we can do" suggests that there were unique moments and inside jokes that were special to their relationship.


The second verse mentions how the singer cashed in their chips to win, which could mean they sacrificed something important to them, perhaps their pride or a certain way of living, to hold onto the relationship. But ultimately, they lost "the fight." The repeated "I don't want to come down" in the end shows the singer's desire to stay in a state of fantasy or denial about the end of the relationship.

This song is one of their most tripped out songs in my opinion.

Ending of this song always reminds me of State Radio's Fall of the American Empire. I love both!
