Come on
Mushroomhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can kill forever in a day
Dissecting every second
I can be perpetually devoid
You'll never sense upheaval in my voice

Come on
Come on
Come on
Do you really want to fuck with me tonight

I pretend to sleep at night
Just to hear your voice calling
I've been down this path before
Keep leaving wanting
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me)
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me)
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me tonight)

I've got my hammer, duct tape, visqueen
I know that nobody believes me
I've got something to say
Born in my bloody reign
Don't ever doubt my art in
Pieced together body parts

I pretend to sleep at night
Just to hear your voice calling
I've been down this path before
Keep leaving wanting
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me)
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me)
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me tonight)

Do you really want to fuck with me
Do you really want to fuck with me tonight

I've got my hammer, duct tape, visqueen
I know that nobody believes me
Nobody believes me
Nobody believes me
Nobody believes

I can kill forever in a day
Dissecting every second in the way
I could be perpetually devoid (Devoid)
You'll never sense upheaval with my voice

I pretend to sleep at night
Just to hear your voice calling
I've been down this path before
Keep leaving wanting
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me)
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me)
Come on (Do you really want to fuck with me tonight)





Do you really want to fuck with me
Do you really want to fuck with me tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Come On" by Mushroomhead are dark and violent. The song seems to be about a person who is capable of committing heinous crimes, but also feels underestimated and unappreciated for their "artistic" abilities in piecing together body parts. The opening lines of the song "I can kill forever in a day, dissecting every second" speaks about the character's proficiency in taking lives, while the line "I've got my hammer, duct tape, visqueen" suggests that they have the tools to carry out their violent impulses.


Throughout the song, the character's voice remains calm and collected, devoid of any emotion that might suggest instability. The chorus "Come on, do you really want to fuck with me tonight" reveals a dark side, as the character invites others to confront them. The second verse of the song suggests that the character has been down this path before, possibly alluding to a life of crime, and that they derive satisfaction from the feeling of leaving people wanting more. The repetition of the lines "nobody believes me" at the end of the song suggests that the character feels misunderstood, or is trying to convince others of their ability to commit the crimes they speak of.

Seeing their energy on stage is seriously mind blowing. This was truly the best band I've ever discovered at a festival. SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD. 

AMMET

To be honest I like slipknot and them

Jeremy Dean sausages

I'm just blown away that people can find each other to create a band like this and be so God damned awesome. It's a trip.

Jarrod Wexley

This is the first time I've heard Jeffrey sing in such a high vocal register. He actually sounds better hitting these higher notes than when he uses his mid-range vocals, in my opinion.

Z4NY

Listen to elevation then come back😂

Paul Callaway

Listen to Eternal on XIII. My favorite mushroomhead song

Betty boo

This band knows what's up! The sound, guitars, voice, drumming.  All that!!!

Just saw them live tonight. Easily the best, if not one of the best, live shows I have ever seen... The most underrated band on the planet. By leaps and bounds.

psychosight

I wish I could get a pair of singers like these guys for my band! So much energy.

Sayid of Reach

This one is a very good release for pent up anger and frustration. Makes one feel so much better. The music and lyrics are awesome. Mother Metal 💀 🖤
