Come on
I’m From Barcelona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna tell what you're gonna do
You're gonna work so hard
You're gonna work until you're sixty five
Come on come on
You got to take it easy now
Come on come on
Oh yeah, I'm talking to me too
This is a matter of both of me and you
We're gonna work so long
We got to find a way to stay alive
Come on
You got to give in
You got to let go
You got to be free
So let's go!
These lyrics from I’m From Barcelona's song Come On are about the inevitability of hard work and the need for rest and relaxation. The opening lines address the listener directly and make predictions about their future. The lyrics suggest that the listener will work so hard that they will only be able to retire at the age of sixty-five. The song then takes a turn towards a message of self-care and the importance of taking it easy. The repetition of “come on” in the chorus serves as a rallying cry to let go, be free and enjoy the city lights.
The songwriter doesn’t just address the listener but also speaks to themselves in the lyrics, emphasizing that the need for rest and self-care applies to everyone, not just the listeners. The song acknowledges the difficulties of living and working in a world where we are always hustling to survive, but it also stresses the importance of finding balance and being kind to oneself. The last lines of the song, “You got to give in/You got to let go/You got to be free/So let’s go!”, encapsulate the song's message of surrender and making the most of one’s life.
