Don't Go Away

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young, and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning 'til
You return again, if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you?
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly 'til the next hello?
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go, go! I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
The song 'Don't Go Away' by 019_Dj Layla Feat. Dee-Dee is a beautiful and emotional love song that encourages the significant other to not leave the singer's life. The opening lines "If you go away on this summer day, then you might as well take the sun away" indicates the depth of the singer's love, revealing that if the significant other leaves it will make the singer's life darker and depressive. The line "All the birds that flew in the summer sky when our love was new and our hearts were high," suggests their love was at the peak during summer, which was full of romance and moments of freedom. The longing is further emphasized with "If you go away," being repeated as a plea for the significant other not to leave.
However, the singer goes on to explain what they can offer if their beloved stays: a day like no day before with new and exciting experiences. The words "We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain, we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind" show that the singer wants to create memorable moments that they can cherish for a lifetime. It can also be interpreted as the singer wanting to try new things, explore the world with their lover, and to have a meaningful relationship that goes beyond living day-to-day.
The lyrics go on to convey the message that if the significant other leaves, the singer will still hold onto their love but will miss them terribly. Although the singer understands that sometimes love doesn't last forever, he/she will always cherish the memories they shared with their significant other. Finally, the song concludes with the verse, "I'd have been the shadow of your shadow if I thought it might have kept me by your side," which signifies the depth of the love the singer has for their significant other and their willingness to do anything to remain together.
Line by Line Meaning
If you go away on this summer day
If you leave me on this summery day
Then you might as well take the sun away
Leaving would make everything feel as dark and cold as a world without the sun
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
The birds that flew in the sky during our joyous Summer
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When our love was fresh and passionate, and our emotions were soaring
When the day was young, and the night was long
When the day was just beginning and time with you seemed never-ending
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
The moon would pause as if in admiration of the sweet melody of the nightingale
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you leave me, if you leave me, if you leave me
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
If you remain with me, I'll create for you a day unlike any other
Like no day has been or will be again
A day so wonderful and joyous, that it simply cannot be replicated
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
Together, we will experience vibrant adventures, such as sailing with the sun and riding the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
We will connect deeply with nature and marvel at its beauty
Then if you go, I'll understand
But if you do choose to leave, I will comprehend your decision
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
Please leave me a bit of affection, enough to keep my heart warm in your absence
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you leave me, if you leave me, if you leave me
If you go away, as I know you will
As I suspect you'll leave me behind
You must tell the world to stop turning 'til
Then I beg you, please tell the universe to halt in its endless rotation
You return again, if you ever do
And promise that, if you ever chose to come back, you'll be there
For what good is love without loving you?
Without the one I love, even love is meaningless
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
As you begin to walk away, may I express one final thought
I'll be dying slowly 'til the next hello?
That I will waste away in slow agony until I see you again
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you leave me, if you leave me, if you leave me
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
But if you stay, I promise a night that will surpass all expectations
Like no night has been or will be again
A night so remarkable, that nothing before or after it will even come close
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll bask in your happiness and be guided by your gentle caress
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
I'll gaze into your captivating eyes that I cherish dearly
But if you go, go! I won't cry
If you must leave, then leave; I won't weep
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
Even though 'goodbye' signifies the end of something great
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you leave me, if you leave me, if you leave me
If you go away, as I know you must
If you depart, as I know you'll eventually do
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
There will be nothing left in the world for me to believe in
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Only an empty room, full of emptiness and void
Like the empty look I see on your face
Similar to the vacant expression you're wearing right now
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
I'd always be there for you, in any capacity
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If only I had realized that by doing so, I could have stayed with you longer

Cold and frosty morning
There's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning
My plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when you're...
Coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day...
In the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation
And the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education
I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

The most underrated Oasis tune. One of the best songs Noel has ever written.
@mechanicalarms1648
Definitely a brilliant song 🤝💯
@norwegian4320
this song is not underestimated, it is very recognized.
@Blindswordsman1994
@@norwegian4320 unless you’re an Oasis fan, you would most likely not know this song (unlike Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger)
@romanrodriguez5100
@@norwegian4320 I think it’s not. Noel actually said that on an interview. He had the song written before WTSMR came out so he actually thought to include it on the CD.
He said that if he would have done that the tune could have been ten times more “successful”.
It is a great song, but a lot of the people didn’t appreciate it that much at the time.
@travisthornton1792
One of my favorites too but Noel kinda co-wrote it without giving credit to the Real People. See their song “Feel the Pain” around the ~1:30 mark. https://youtu.be/YH1FBmWL0V8
