Come In Please
Edward Sharpe %26 the Magnetic Zeros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don't show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow

Daddy's on the mountain yelling at the bloody sky
Mama's in the mirror acting out another life
Children in the schoolyard singing 'everybody dies'
And I am on the corner with the sentimental eye
I am on the corner singing sentimental lies

Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
CLAP!
All hail to death's boy-wonder

JJ's in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo's throwing Kerouac to Catcher In The Rye
Temperamental yogis baking merryweather pie
And I am on the corner with the sentimental eye
I am on the corner singing sentimental lies

Sometimes said it's sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind

All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line

Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
'til everyone I've known held my hands 'til they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion

Now Jade's on the mountain singing 'We will never die'
The band is in the rainbow playing 'love for you and I'
Heath is riding shotgun aiming at the paper sky
And I am only 'I am' now I've opened up my eyes
I am only 'I am' that I've opened up my eyes

Sometimes said its sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah coming to ya
Rain or shine

All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line





All the same its conscience waiting

Overall Meaning

The song "Come In Please" by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros tells a story of a person who was once like a hurricane - tumultuous and destructive, with no room for anyone else in their life. They have a "sentimental eye" and sing "sentimental lies" while observing the world around them. The people in their life, such as their parents and friends, are all struggling in their own unique ways. However, the singer of the song dreams of a different reality, where they are surrounded by love and acceptance, and the storm finally leaves them for good.


The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and metaphor. The hurricane represents the emotional turmoil the singer has experienced in the past, and the line "all hail to death's boy-wonder" symbolizes the destructive nature of the storm. The gypsy train with tracks that can be hidden is a symbol of the singer's desire to escape their past and move forward into a brighter future. The line "Heath is riding shotgun aiming at the paper sky" represents a person with a sense of purpose and determination.

@KogalNoriko

My dad fought in Vietnam and my mom was a hippie who protested the Vietnam War, and my mom heard this song and thought it was a band from her high school years in the late 60s LOL I made her a huge fan of this band! I actually bought this album on vinyl and that's the only way my mom and I like to listen to it because she said it feels nostalgic to her.

@chadyou812
