C'mon
Jughead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Delilah, sits in a temple and stares
With magical eyes she wears
Will I stumble over her?
Will I fall?

Come on, Delilah, on burgundy drive
Come on, Delilah, she's workin' till five
Come on, Delilah, she's buried alive
Come on, just walk away
Come on, that's what I say
Come on

Delilah, how do you wear two hats
I never quite meant to do that
Will I stumble over her?
Will I fall?

Come on
Are you listening to me?
Tell me am I only talking to myself
Delilah, sits in a temple and stares

Come on, Delilah, on burgandy drive
Come on, Delilah, she's workin' till five
Come on, Delilah, she's buried alive
Come on, just walk away
Come on, that's what I say




Come on, just walk away
Come on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jughead's song "C'mon" appear to be about his infatuation with a woman named Delilah, who he imagines as sitting in a temple and wearing "magical eyes." He wonders if he will "stumble over her" or "fall" for her, indicating that he is attracted to her but also unsure of how to approach her. At the same time, he seems to be frustrated with her, telling her to "come on" and walk away, suggesting that he may feel like she is inaccessible or unattainable.


The lyrics also reference Delilah's dual nature, asking how she can "wear two hats" at once. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for her being two-faced or unpredictable, or it could be a literal reference to her actual job or personality. Jughead seems to be trying to figure Delilah out, but also uncertain if she is even listening to him or if he is just talking to himself.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing, frustration, and uncertainty about attraction and relationships. They are open to interpretation, and may mean different things to different listeners depending on their own experiences and perspectives.
