Say it again
I like how you work my name
Embroidering the pain on every speck of skin
The distance has been not so kind
I curse this caveat
And the temperatures are wearing paper thin
I am sick of listening
The worst is yet to come, my dear
I've been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you just let me make my own mistakes
I promise I'll behave, only in the worst way
Too heavy to hold my own evaporating soul
Sweltered and sandwiched in the middle
Of this melting heart of major compromise
I have one foot out and one foot almost in
I am sick of listening
The worst is yet to come, my dear
I've been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you just let me make my own mistakes
I promise I'll behave, only in the worst way
Only in the worst way
I won't say I'm sorry
This hasn't been a waste of time
Tell me, do you think we'll be fine after all?
I'm all nerve, an anxious, sort of complicated fear
The worst is yet to come, my dear
The worst is yet to come, my dear
I've been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you just let me make my own mistakes
I promise I'll behave, only in the worst way
The worst is yet to come, my dear
I've been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you just let me make my own mistakes
I promise I'll behave, only in the worst way
Only in the worst way
Only in the worst way
The lyrics of Soundtrack's song "Come On" depict a struggle with internal conflicts in a relationship. The singer describes how they feel trapped and vulnerable, seeking comfort in cold embraces, but ultimately feeling stuck between their own desire for freedom and the compromise necessary for a relationship. Despite their anxiety and complicated emotions, they express optimism that they can learn from their mistakes and behave better in the future.
The phrase "cold embraces" can be taken as a metaphor for a relationship that provides a sense of comfort but lacks warmth and genuine attachment. The singer is aware of this and acknowledges that the distance between them has not helped. They are tired of listening to the same problems and are feeling the pressure of their own soul evaporating. Despite this anxiety, they reassure their partner that they are aware of their mistakes and are committed to behaving better.
The singer's hope that they can learn from their mistakes and behave only in the worst way is an interesting contradiction. It shows a sense of self-awareness and accountability, but also a willingness to embrace the "worst" parts of themselves. This can be interpreted as a desire for authenticity and honesty in a relationship, even if it is uncomfortable or painful at times. Overall, the lyrics convey an honest and introspective message about the challenges of being in a relationship while maintaining one's own sense of identity.
Line by Line Meaning
There is no safer place than in between cold embraces
Being caught between two options is often the safest bet
Say it again
I enjoy hearing you repeat yourself
I like how you work my name
I appreciate the way you say my name
Embroidering the pain on every speck of skin
The pain is intense and all encompassing
The distance has been not so kind
Being apart has been difficult
I curse this caveat
I resent this exception
And the temperatures are wearing paper thin
The tension is at a boiling point
I am sick of listening
I am tired of hearing the same old thing
The worst is yet to come, my dear
Things are going to get even more difficult
I've been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
I've been fighting for a long time
If you just let me make my own mistakes
If you allow me to make errors, I'll be better off
I promise I'll behave, only in the worst way
I will try my hardest, but it may not turn out well
Too heavy to hold my own evaporating soul
It's difficult to carry the weight of my disappearing spirit
Sweltered and sandwiched in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle and it's uncomfortable
Of this melting heart of major compromise
I am making a significant sacrifice and it's affecting me deeply
I have one foot out and one foot almost in
I'm not fully committed, but I'm close
I won't say I'm sorry
I won't apologize
This hasn't been a waste of time
This has been worthwhile
Tell me, do you think we'll be fine after all?
Do you think things will work out in the end?
I'm all nerve, an anxious, sort of complicated fear
I'm nervous and it's a complex feeling
