Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I ever learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)
As I make my way c'mon c'mon
These better nights that seem too long
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)
Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)
And no this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast
Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truth
Of a time gone by that now is through
In the song "C'mon" by the artist, the lyrics depict a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the passing of time. The repetition of the phrase "C'mon c'mon" serves as a call to action, urging the listener to remember the past and confront the consequences of their actions.
The opening lines, "On another day c'mon c'mon, With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong, Now we grieve cause now is gone, Things were good when we were young," suggest a longing for the innocence and carefree nature of youth. The singer acknowledges that their actions have led to some form of regret or loss, symbolized by the reference to ropes they tied. This could signify the choices, obligations, or responsibilities that have tied them down and caused the loss of a more carefree time.
The following lines, "With my teeth locked down I can see the blood, Of a thousand men who have come and gone, Now we grieve cause now is gone, Things were good when we were young," evoke a sense of bitterness and the realization of the consequences of one's actions. The singer is metaphorically biting down on their own regrets, seeing the bloodshed caused by the passing of time and the loss of those who came before them. This could be a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the weight of the mistakes made along the way.
The chorus, asking "Is it safe to say? Was it right to leave? Will I ever learn?" further emphasizes the introspective nature of the song. The singer questions their choices, wondering if they have truly learned from their past or if they will continue to make the same mistakes. It also suggests a longing for validation and reassurance that they have made the right decisions.
In the final lines, "And no this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast, Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truth, Of a time gone by that now is through," the singer reflects on the wounds that have been inflicted and the toll they have taken. The wounds may be both physical and emotional, representing the pain caused by the passage of time and the mistakes made. They speak of a time that has now come to an end, suggesting a sense of acceptance and perhaps a newfound wisdom.
Overall, "C'mon" is a introspective song that explores themes of regret, nostalgia, and the consequences of one's actions. It prompts the listener to reflect on their own choices and seek a deeper understanding of themselves.

On another day c'mon c'mon
In a different time or circumstance, let's come together
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong

We mourn because the present moment has passed
Things were good when we were young

These better nights that seem too long
These more favorable times that feel lengthy
Now we grieve cause now is gone
We lament because the present is no more
Things were good when we were young
Life was pleasant in our earlier years
And no this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast
Currently, these intensified wounds take time to recover
Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truth
Unable to perceive my singing of countless deceitful statements lacking honesty
Of a time gone by that now is through
About a period that has ended and is now finished
