Come On, Come On
Nashville Pussy
Defiance and Resilience in a World Gone Mad
Nashville Pussy's song "Come On, Come On" is a raw and unapologetic anthem of defiance and resilience. The opening lines set the stage for a breakup, with the protagonist's partner declaring that their relationship is over. The partner's ultimatum, "if you ain't going to heaven with me, then I ain't goin' to hell with you," suggests a fundamental incompatibility in their paths or values. This moment of personal upheaval is met with a sense of acceptance and a focus on finding one's place in a harsh, indifferent world.
The chorus, with its repeated and emphatic "come on, come on, come on fuck yeah," serves as a rallying cry. It's a call to action, a demand to keep pushing forward despite the challenges and disappointments. The protagonist's declaration of giving up on getting what they want and settling for what they need reflects a pragmatic approach to life. This sentiment is further underscored by the line, "I'm the last of the last of a dying breed," which speaks to a sense of individuality and perseverance in the face of a changing world.
The song's gritty, rebellious spirit is encapsulated in the imagery of driving all night just to hear a guitar play. This passion for music and the simple joys of life stands in stark contrast to the mundane and trivial, symbolized by the disinterest in watching an ant eat a bale of hay. Nashville Pussy's blend of hard rock and Southern rock elements, combined with their unfiltered lyrics, create a powerful message of staying true to oneself and finding strength in the face of adversity.
