Come On Home
Wilson-McKinley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hold my price too low)
(Aye yo, aye yo, aye yo)
(When will you come home?)
(And I don't fall, too far away)
(Far away I know)
Feel like Dennis Rodman, with the ten on me, baby yo
Did you steal my phone?
Too late for it, I know

Fuck me up, give me love then leave me alone
Mom said I ain't coming home
Leave me, oh I know
Fucked up, yea I know
And when it falls apart, I know
You won't tell me no
You can't love me no
Said I need too much
Gone for good
Gone for good
Oh, like oh
You can't tell me no
Life been moving too slow
Oh, stay woke
Won't stay home
Oh, stay gold
Feel like Dennis Rodman, with the ten on me, baby yo

Did you steal my phone?
Too late for it, I know

Overall Meaning

The song "Come On Home" by Wilson-McKinley has a somewhat confusing lyrical content, as it is composed of a series of phrases that don't directly connect to each other, yet they create a mood of longing and detachment. At the beginning of the song, the singer complains that his "price is too low" and emphasizes the repeated phrase "when will you come home?" which suggests a loved one who has gone away and hasn't returned. The chorus continues with the expression "far away I know," which reinforces the idea of distance and separation.

Then, the singer compares himself to basketball player Dennis Rodman, who is known for his flamboyant and rebellious behavior. This seems to be a metaphor for how the singer feels misunderstood or misjudged by others. He asks if someone has stolen his phone, but acknowledges that it's too late to get it back. The lyrics take a more somber tone in the next verse, as the singer talks about being messed up and abandoned by someone close, possibly his mother. He repeats the phrase "leave me" several times, suggesting a deep-seated pain and loneliness. By the end of the song, the singer seems resigned to his fate, realizing that he may be asking for too much or living life too slow.

Overall, "Come On Home" is a poignant and introspective song that deals with themes of loss, isolation, and longing. The lyrics are somewhat cryptic but convey a sense of emotional honesty and vulnerability.
