Come to me
Marlon Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No shelter from the sun and the rain
No, you're spreading the pain
Digging holes just to fill them again
Come to me
There's nothing sweeter than you when you're blind
And I'm high up above you
Looking down with my bird's-eye and lovin' you
Come to me
And when you find me
We'll share our troubles and fears
They whither all over the years
And I believe in you
Come to me
There's nothing sweeter than you when you're blind
Arms out feeling for the holes around you
And I'm high up above you
Looking down with my bird's-eye and lovin' you
Come to me
Down on the beach with pale and spade
No shelter from the sun and the rain
No, you're spreading the pain
Digging holes just to fill them again
Ooh, come to me
Come to me
The lyrics to Marlon Williams's song "Come to Me" convey a message of love and support to someone who seems to be struggling in life. The opening lines set the scene of a person digging holes on the beach with a pale and spade, seemingly in perpetual motion with no purpose or relief from the sun and rain. The line "No, you're spreading the pain" suggests that the person is experiencing some kind of emotional pain and is using physical labor as a distraction from it. The chorus, "Come to me," is Williams's urging to this person to reach out and seek comfort in their relationship.
The second verse continues to describe the person's blind search for something intangible, with Williams singing "Arms out feeling for the holes around you" while he watches from above, sharing in their experience and providing a sense of perspective. The idea that shared burdens can be lightened with time is suggested in the line "And when you find me, we'll share our troubles and fears, they whither all over the years." The song ends with a final plea to "Come to me," reinforcing the idea that the person is not alone, and that they have a supportive partner to lean on.
Line by Line Meaning
Down on the beach with pale and spade
On the beach, holding a shovel and a pale
No shelter from the sun and the rain
There's no protection from the sun or rain
No, you're spreading the pain
You're causing hurt to others
Digging holes just to fill them again
You're doing something pointless and repetitive
Come to me
Come to my side
There's nothing sweeter than you when you're blind
You are vulnerable, and I find you endearing
Arms out feeling for the holes around you
You are lost, trying to find your way
And I'm high up above you
I have the perspective of someone watching from above
Looking down with my bird's-eye and lovin' you
Watching you from above, and feeling affection for you
And when you find me
When you come to me
We'll share our troubles and fears
We will help each other with our problems and worries
They whither all over the years
Over time, our troubles and fears will lessen and fade away
And I believe in you
I have faith in you
Ooh, come to me
Oh, please come to me
Come to me
Come to my side

Lovely to see the port hills in the background... And familiar houses. Great video, bloody special song. Thanks for another dreamy piece of loveliness to listen to.

I love this video. I don't know if there is a humorous vibe between lines here, but I'll take the action as literal as you can imagine. All the simplicity and wonder and happiness of a nice day with friends and friendly lovely doggo, some basket shots, a picnic sorrounded by fragant roses...I unapologeticly and cinicalessly love this. Beautiful
