Neon Rose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well c'mon everybody
And let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
now the house is empty the folks are gone
C'mon everybody
Well my baby's number one

But I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be shakin'
From my bare feet slapping the floor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
C'mon everybody

Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two

No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody

Overall Meaning

Neon Rose's song C'mon Everybody can be interpreted as an invitation to a wild and carefree party. The singer is excited to spend his hard-earned money and let loose for the night. He describes how he's been doing his homework all week long so that he can enjoy a guilt-free night of partying. The lack of supervision in an empty house provides the perfect opportunity for the singer to dance with multiple partners and really let loose.

The catchy chorus "C'mon everybody" serves as an invitation to anyone who wants to join in the fun. The energetic music is so infectious that even those who are hesitant to dance will find themselves swaying along with the beat. The singer acknowledges that some people may be more reserved than others, but assures everyone that the music will make them want to dance.

The final verse of the song shows a hint of rebellion as the singer declares that even if the parents come home and punish him for throwing a party, it will all be worth it. The lyrics suggest that the party is a chance for the singer to escape the monotony of his usual routine and have some fun with friends.
