Come On
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess we know each other now for seven years
Why has it always to end up with tears
A little problem and soon discussions start
We bang our heads and we always forget our hearts

Somehow, somewhere
I guess I had this all before
Somehow, somewhere
I guess I had this all before

Come on, come on let's go home
Give the sinking ship a drink
I think it's better if we go
Somehow my thoughts are running slow
Will feel sorry when I awake
So you better give me a break

Take your brown eyes and put'em in a glass
Put some icecubes in and watch the rotting mess
Look in my blue ones and you know I never lie
Give me a drink and I say to you let's have another try

Somehow, somewhere...

You better give me a break




You better give me
You better give me a break...

Overall Meaning

The song "Come On" by Fury In The Slaughterhouse is a reflection on a tumultuous seven-year-long relationship. The singer recounts the frequent breakdowns in communication that occur between them, often leading to arguments and tears. They seem to struggle with balancing their rational minds with their emotional hearts. The lyrics evoke a sense of weariness and resignation to the cycle of their relationship, as the singer suggests that they should just go home and have a drink to forget about it all.


The chorus of "Come On" is somewhat ambiguous but seems to suggest that the singer has been through similar situations before. They express a sense of déjà vu, as if they are stuck in an endless loop of arguments and misunderstandings. The last line of the chorus, "Somehow, somewhere, I guess I had this all before," reinforces this idea.


The second half of the song takes a more surreal turn as the singer talks about putting their partner's brown eyes in a glass and watching them rot. This macabre image is contrasted with the assurance that the singer will never lie, followed by a plea to try again. The chorus is repeated, but this time the singer pleads with their partner to give them a break.


Overall, "Come On" is a poignant and melancholy reflection on the ups and downs of a long-term relationship. The lyrics suggest a sense of frustration and exhaustion with the cyclical nature of arguments, despite the singer's attempts to keep their emotions in check.
