Give It Up
Midtown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Counting every beat and waiting for my turn to die
[Chorus]
Give it up, give it up, don't fall for the same things
Give it up, give it up, don't fall for mistakes that I've made
Don't turn away, I understand your ways
Won't give it up
It's not me you're waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for
It's time to let go, time to let it go
And when you've become all you've lost
Wandering the streets and searching for a place to die
[Chorus]
Give it up, give it up, don't fall for the same things
Give it up, give it up, don't fall for mistakes that I've made
Don't turn away, I understand your ways
Won't give it up
It's not me you're waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for (This is where it ends)
It's not me you're waiting for
It's time to let go, time to let it go(This is where it ends)
And if you promise to forget I'll try to find a way to make mistakes (make mistakes)
Give it up
Give it up (Try to find a way)
Give it up
Give it up (Try to find a way) (Don't fall for the same mistakes)
Give it up
Give it up (Try to find a way) (Don't fall for the same mistakes)
Give it up
Give it up
Won't give it up
It's not me you're waiting for
It's not me you're waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for
Give it up, Give it up
Don't fall for the same things (Alright, stop waiting)
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for mistakes that I've made (Alright, don't give it up)
Won't turn away
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for the same things, don't turn away
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for mistakes that I've made
Don't turn away
The lyrics of Midtown's song "Give It Up" paint a picture of despair and desperation as the singer awaits death. The lyrics begin with "This silence kills the calm of the night, Counting every beat and waiting for my turn to die," suggesting the character is in a very dark place. In the chorus, the singer pleads for the other person to give up on the same mistakes or temptations that the character has made, essentially urging the other person to resist their vices. The lines "It's not me you're waiting for, alright, stop waiting, It's time to let go, time to let it go," suggest that the character may be trying to help someone else rather than themselves before ultimately succumbing to the despair around them.
The verse that says "And when you've become all you've lost, Wandering the streets and searching for a place to die" creates a sense of fear and desperation, directing the listener to choose a different path than the singer of the song. The song seems to be a call to fight back against the darkness by resisting the same mistakes and temptations the singer is warning against.
