Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sounds of their 80s hair metal and glam rock contemporaries. Yet it was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their t-shirt and jeans image, a 'street' look reminiscent of the Ramones (and other 70s punk groups) that was in strong contrast of the leather, spandex, and flashy-make type look of the time.
The band's early lifespan as City Kidd brought them considerable frustration, with them failing to break into the musical mainstream while also competing with another band with the same name. Their mutation into Tesla provided a clear shot at success. 'Mechanical Resonance', their debut that the boys released in 1986, became a commercial smash while also receiving significant critical praise. That album was certified platinum by the RIAA on October 5, 1989.
In total, the group has released six studio albums with original music, the latest of them being 2008's 'Forever More'. They have also created a a double-disc covers album, titled 'Real To Reel', as well as a number of compilations and live albums. Their sound has focused on a particularly melodic and accessible kind of hard rock with strong shades of classic heavy metal as well.
Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.
The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
Come To Me
Tesla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If something's got you down, it's just one of those days
That you find you've been caught in the middle, feeling like there ain't no way out
And it hurts you more than just a little, got you head all full of doubts
I'll be your shelter from the rain, until it's time to swim
Be there to help you share the pain, while never giving in
We'll keep it unconditional
Come to me, and I'll be there
Ain't nothing like a friend, no matter what you do
Who's always there 'til the end, it's like ya' got nothing to lose
What about when you're lost in the shuffle, knocked down, I'll pick you up again
If you days turn to lonely nights, and your nights into lonely days
I may not get it right, but I'll help you find a way
We'll take it all day by day
Come to me, if you need someone, and your looking for some company
If you need someone, you know that you can come to me
If you need someone, you know that you can come to me
If something busted your bubble, or maybe, your fortress had crumbled
There ain't nothing wrong with being humbled, 'cause a humbling is good for the soul
Oh, we all need, everybody needs, everybody needs someone to hold
You can come around, I will help find a way
If something's got you down, it's just one of those
Days turned to lonely nights, nights into lonely days
I may not get it right, but I'll help you find a way.
The lyrics to Tesla's song Come to Me are about the importance of friendship and being there for someone when they are feeling lost, lonely or overwhelmed. The song acknowledges that we all go through tough times and face challenges, but having a supportive friend can make all the difference. The artist urges listeners to come to them if they need someone to talk to, and promises to be a source of comfort and support.
The lyrics suggest that the artist is empathetic to the pain and struggles of others and wants to offer a helping hand. The phrase "We'll keep it unconditional" reinforces this idea that the artist is not seeking anything in return but simply wants to be there for their friend. Furthermore, the line "it hurts you more than just a little, got your head all full of doubts" captures the sense of helplessness and despair people often feel during difficult periods in their lives.
