Come Out To Play
Pomplamoose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you sleeping?
All the records show that the path you've chosen
might be misleading
(Father said)
Play now, play later
Play now, play later
Won't you come out to play?
Won't you come out to play?
Something tells me you won't be needing all those books
in the long run
Maybe now's the time to put down your pencil and
just go have fun
(Father said)
Play now, play later
(Father said)
Play now, play later
Won't you come out to play?
Won't you come out to play?
(Father said)
Play now, play later
(Father said)
Play now, play later
(Father said)
Play now, play later
(Father said)
Play now, play later
Won't you come out to play?
Father said,
Won't you come out to play?
Play now, play later.
Won't you come out to play?
Won't you come out to play?
Won't you come out to play?
Won't you come out to play?
The lyrics of Pomplamoose's song "Come Out To Play" seem to be addressed to someone who is deeply engrossed in studying or working, to the extent that they may be neglecting their basic needs such as eating and sleeping. The first stanza suggests that the singer is concerned about the addressee's well-being and wants to check up on them. They ask if the person has eaten and if they are sleeping, which implies that they suspect that the person may not be taking care of themselves. The second stanza seems to question the path that the addressee has chosen for themselves, suggesting that it may not be a fulfilling one, or that it may not lead to the desired outcome. The use of "All the records show" implies that the decision may have been influenced by external factors rather than by the person's own desires or interests.
The chorus of the song consists of repeated phrases that encourage the addressee to abandon their work or studies and come out to play. The singer suggests that the person may not need all their books and that it may be time to put down their pencil and have fun instead. The repetition of the phrase "Play now, play later" reinforces this message, suggesting that taking a break to enjoy oneself is an important aspect of life no matter what the ultimate goals may be.
Overall, the song seems to be advocating for a balanced approach to life with room for both work and leisure. The lyrics suggest that it is important to take care of oneself and not become too focused on a singular goal or path without allowing time for enjoyment and relaxation.
