Come Down
A Night of Rebellion and Freedom: The Glorious Sons' 'Come Down' Meaning
Lyrics
Hey baby, it ain't that late
The night isn't too late yet.
We can get breakfast if you stay awake
Suggesting staying awake for breakfast.
We got your daddy's credit card
Referencing having access to money through someone else's credit card.
C'mon let's get high
Encouraging drug use.
Don't give up now, for God's sakes
Urging to persist despite difficulties.
I ain't sleeping when we're breaking on the edge of a date
Not sleeping during an intense or critical moment.
Don't you want to make this feeling last a while
Desire to prolong a positive feeling.
You got the money, and I've got the heart
One person has money, the other emotional support.
I know a guy that delivers to these parts
Knowing someone who can provide drugs.
So don't you come down on me
Asking not to be judged or criticized.
Don't you come down on me
Repeated request not to be judged.
Don't you come down on me, tonight
Continuing the plea to avoid criticism.
One more for the road, kid
Suggesting another drink before leaving.
Let's go down to the water and get out of our heads
Heading to the water, possibly for a change in perspective.
Standing by the shore, you can hear the lake breathe
Observation of nature's rhythm.
The feeling takes you hostage
Feeling overwhelmed or controlled by emotions.
Rushing from your heart into the palm of my hands
Emotions being transferred or shared.
We can make this little prison city feel free
Suggesting freedom despite confinement.
You got the money, and I've got the heart
Reiterating the imbalance of resources between individuals.
I know a guy that delivers to these parts
Repeating knowledge of accessing drugs.
So don't you come down on me
Repeating the plea to avoid judgment.
Don't you come down on me
Reiterating the request not to be judged.
Don't you come down on me, tonight
Continuing the plea to avoid criticism.
We're gonna be just fine
Optimistic reassurance.
The sun's going down on the city again
Noting the sunset over the city.
Don't it look lonely
Observing the city's desolation.
I don't wanna feel lonely
Expressing the desire to avoid loneliness.
There you go fading on the edge of the bed
Watching someone emotionally withdraw.
Lookin' so lonely
Not wanting to witness someone feeling alone.
I don't wanna feel lonely
Repeating the desire to avoid loneliness.
So don't you come down on me
Reiterating the plea to avoid judgment.
Don't you come down on me
Repeating the request not to be judged.
You got the money, and I've got the heart
Reiterating the imbalance of resources between individuals.
I know a guy that delivers to these parts
Repeating knowledge of accessing drugs.
So don't you come down on me
Repeating the plea to avoid judgment.
Don't you come down on me
Reiterating the request not to be judged.
Don't you come down on me, tonight
Continuing the plea to avoid criticism.
We're gonna be just fine
Reassurance of things turning out okay.
