Come With Me
LONGSLEEVE AND THE WEIRDBOYS Lyrics

The lyrics to LONGSLEEVE AND THE WEIRDBOYS's song "Come with Me" depict the struggles of mental illness and the need to escape reality. The opening line, "See my monsters under my bed," is a metaphor for the fears that lurk in the mind of someone dealing with mental illness. The "creepy concerts" and "life turning red" are further symbols of the chaos and instability that come with struggling mentally. The line, "Insanity becomes normality," highlights the feelings of isolation and detachment that can occur when someone is dealing with mental illness for an extended period of time. Finally, "Mirror my agony" shows how the person's thoughts and feelings are being mirrored back at them, as if they are trapped in their own mind.

The chorus, "Come with me," is a plea for help, a call to escape the emotional turmoil that the person is feeling. This is reinforced with the repetition of the phrase "Come with me, yeah" throughout the song. The verses, "Tell me yours and I tell you mine/I'm weird but with you feels fine," shows that the person is opening up to someone they trust, perhaps hoping for some relief from their struggles. The final verse, "Walking through cold trees/Feels like I'm wandering/Want to flee" shows that the person feels lost and alone in their struggles, perhaps wanting to run and escape from their reality.
