Panic! at the Disco recorded their first demos while they were in high school. Shortly after, the band recorded and released their debut studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Popularized by the second single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", the album was certified triple platinum in the US. In 2006, founding bassist Brent Wilson was fired from the band during an extensive world tour and subsequently replaced by Jon Walker. The band's second album, Pretty. Odd. (2008), was preceded by the single "Nine in the Afternoon". That album marked a significant departure from the sound of the band's debut. In 2009, Ross and Walker formed a new band, the Young Veins, leaving Urie and Smith as the sole remaining members of Panic! at the Disco.
Continuing as a duo, Urie and Smith released a new single, "New Perspective", for the movie Jennifer's Body, and recruited bassist Dallon Weekes and guitarist Ian Crawford as touring musicians for live performances. Weekes was later inducted into the band's lineup as a full-time member in 2010. The band's third studio album, Vices & Virtues (2011), was recorded solely by Urie and Smith in 2010, produced by John Feldmann and Butch Walker. Crawford departed once the tour cycle for Vices & Virtues ended in 2012.
As a three-piece, Urie, Smith, and Weekes recorded and released the band's fourth studio album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, in 2013. Prior to the release of the album, Smith unofficially left the band due to health and drug-related issues, leaving Urie and Weekes as the remaining members. The duo recruited guitarist Kenneth Harris and drummer Dan Pawlovich as touring musicians for live performances.
In 2015, Smith officially left the band after not performing live with them since his departure in 2013. Shortly thereafter, Weekes reverted to being a touring member once again, resulting in Panic! becoming Urie's solo project. In April 2015, "Hallelujah" was released as the first single from Panic! at the Disco's fifth studio album, Death of a Bachelor (2016). In December 2017, Weekes officially announced his departure from the band. In March 2018, Panic! at the Disco released "Say Amen (Saturday Night)", the lead single from its sixth studio album, Pray for the Wicked (2018), which was released in June. Panic! at the Disco's seventh studio album, Viva Las Vengeance, was released on August 19, 2022.
On January 24, 2023, Urie officially announced that Panic! at the Disco would be disbanding following the conclusion of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour.
C'Mon
Panic! at the Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cannot seem to find my way home tonight
Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole
Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone
What would my head be like
If not for my shoulders
Or without your smile
But follow you forever
To sleep in the stone, maybe
Stay lost on our way home
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
If I should die tonight
May I first just say I'm sorry
For I, never felt like anybody
I am a man of many hats although I
Never mastered anything
But I am ten feet tall
I've never felt this tall since the fall
Nobody seems to know my name
So don't leave me and sleep all alone
Maybe stay lost on our way home
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate
It could leave, it could leave, come the morning
Celebrate the night
It's the fall before the climb
Shall we sing, shall we sing, until the morning
If I fall forward, you fall flat
And if the sun should lift me up
Would you come back?
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
So c'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
Yeah Yeah Yeah!
It's late and I, cannot seem to find my way home tonight
The lyrics of "C'mon" are enigmatic and open to interpretation. One possible interpretation is that the song is about feeling lost and disconnected and searching for a way back home. The metaphor of falling down the rabbit hole suggests a descent into confusion and chaos. The singer seems to be searching for someone or something to hold on to, someone who can make him feel complete and not lost in the vastness of the world. The line, "What would my head be like if not for my shoulders," suggests that the singer is looking for a sense of stability and grounding. He is calling out for someone to follow him, to help him find his way home and stay lost on the way.
In the following verses, the singer ponders themes of mortality and identity. He apologizes for not feeling like anyone, and for never mastering anything. He describes himself as a man of many hats, suggesting that he is multifaceted but lacks a sense of direction or purpose. The line "I've never felt this tall since the fall" hints at some kind of loss or failure in the past that has left the singer feeling small and dejected. He feels like nobody knows his name, and fears being alone. The repeated refrain of "C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me, I'd like to believe in all the possibilities" suggests a kind of hopeful desperation, a desire to believe that there is something more, something better.

C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate

If I fall forward, you fall flat
And if the sun should lift me up
Would you come back? C'mon!
So c'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
It's getting late and I, cannot seem to find my way home tonight.
