From the recording Isolated tracks II
Come On - song description (Isolated Tracks II)
“Come On” leans into repetition and abstraction, where meaning is suggested rather than stated. The lyrics move in fragments and gestures, circling around a single phrase that returns without resolution - less a call forward, more a quiet pressure that persists.
There is no clear narrative, only shifting forms and recurring lines that never fully settle. The words feel suspended, caught between movement and stillness, as if something is happening just outside of reach.
Within Isolated Tracks II, “Come On” exists as a minimal, ritual-like fragment - defined by repetition, tension, and the sense of something that remains without ever fully revealing itself.
Lyrics
You stood there like a broken sign,
Half in shadow, out of time,
Every word you tried to say
Fell apart and slipped away.
Hands were shaking, not from cold,
Just from things you couldn’t hold,
Every step you tried to trace
Led you back to the same place.
Come on - don’t turn away,
You’ve been here before, you stay,
Come on - don’t stay behind,
It was never yours or mine.
Streetlight flickers in your eyes,
Not a truth, just old disguise,
You move like something out of frame,
Never fixed and never named.
You said nothing, still it spoke,
Every silence left a mark,
There’s no distance you can make
From the shape you couldn’t break.
Come on - don’t turn away,
You’ve been here before, you stay,
Come on - don’t stay behind,
It was never yours or mine.
Not now
Not then
Still caught
Again
No edge
No frame
Still drawn
The same
There’s a rhythm in the fall,
Something pulling through it all,
Not a voice and not a sound,
Just a force that stays around.
You don’t run and you don’t fight,
You just fade into the night,
Every moment held too long
Turns into a different wrong.
Come on - don’t turn away,
You’ve been here before, you stay,
Come on - don’t stay behind,
It was never yours or mine.
Come on - it stays, it stays,
In your step, in all your ways,
Come on - don’t disappear,
It was always with you here.
Come on
Stay
Come on
Stay
