Don't
50landing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I′m losing my sleep
Running out of time so don't stay, don't follow me
It′s not a question of loving or dissipation of night
I think I′m lost where I lie
Fucked up by the way to the journey
It's been a long run and it′s likely it's hurting now, god
Now I got no feeling again
And you wrote this the way that you want
Confined to this waste to buy time
And it′s adding up
And I've had enough
′Cause I remember, late nights driving to Frank
No ocean in sight but I'm down by the lake
And it's 2 AM and I′m seeing the way that I′m falling out of line
Am I caught in the wake I thought, damn
I don't know what′s gotten into me
And you don't know the way that I′ve been off
You wrote it I'm hard to love
Love
I′m holding the weight of the world
Motions through dead of the night
Don't worry your eyes
And I don't wanna cry when I′m safe
But I′m losing my sleep
Running out of time so don't stay, don′t follow me
It's not a question of loving or dissipation of night
I think I′m lost where I lie
I need a minute to say
That I'm losing my bearings and now I′m falling in straight
Down, I don't wanna go out
Send this away
Kinda wish that I could roll it all back to my car
And spend another school night in the moonlight
And speed along the parkway just to hear you just say that I'm wrong
But time will go on
And I know it′s nothing now
And the stars just don′t look like they used to
They're missing some type of glow
And I lost the best piece of myself on this ridge where we used to go
To higher heights
The song "Don't" by 50landing explores themes of love, loss, and personal growth. The singer begins by expressing a desire to avoid emotional pain, but acknowledges that they are already suffering from insomnia and a sense of running out of time. They urge their loved one not to follow them as they navigate a difficult journey. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been in a long-term relationship that has started to falter as they feel lost and disconnected from their partner. The bridge of the song recalls a happier time, when the couple used to drive together and enjoy each other's company, but now the singer feels as though they are falling out of line, lost and without direction.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the past and the present, grappling with feelings of confusion and regret. They express a need to take a moment to collect their thoughts and feelings, and to find themselves again so that they can move forward with more clarity and intention. The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is still in love with their partner, but is struggling to find a way to reconcile their feelings with the realities of their current situation.
Overall, "Don't" is a contemplative and introspective song that speaks to the complexities of love and relationships. It conveys a sense of vulnerability and raw emotion, as well as a desire to find meaning and purpose in the face of uncertainty.

And I don′t wanna cry when I'm safe
I don't want to feel sad even though I'm in a secure place
But I′m losing my sleep
I'm having trouble sleeping
Running out of time so don't stay, don't follow me
I don't have much time left, don't try to come with me
It′s not a question of loving or dissipation of night
It's not about whether I love or the night fades away
I think I′m lost where I lie
I'm confused about where I am and what I'm doing
Fucked up by the way to the journey
The route I took messed me up mentally
It's been a long run and it′s likely it's hurting now, god
This has been a long time coming and it's probably painful
Lost touch with the way that we moved through the dust
I no longer remember how we used to navigate through difficulties
Now I got no feeling again
I'm numb once more
And you wrote this the way that you want
The person writing this has their own interpretation
Confined to this waste to buy time
I'm stuck in this unproductive situation to stall for time
And it′s adding up
The pressure is increasing
And I've had enough
I can't take it anymore
′Cause I remember, late nights driving to Frank
I remember those memories of us driving late to Frank's place
No ocean in sight but I'm down by the lake
I'm not close to the ocean, but I'm at the lake
And it's 2 AM and I′m seeing the way that I′m falling out of line
It's late and I realize that I'm losing my direction
Am I caught in the wake I thought, damn
I wonder if I'm stuck in the consequences of my actions
I don't know what′s gotten into me
I'm not sure what's causing me to act this way
And you don't know the way that I′ve been off
The person writing this doesn't know the extent of my struggles
You wrote it I'm hard to love
The writer is aware that the person reading this sees them as difficult to love
I′m holding the weight of the world
I feel like I'm dealing with everything all at once
Motions through dead of the night
I'm going through a rough time emotionally
Don't worry your eyes
Don't be concerned about me
I need a minute to say
I need some time to express myself
That I'm losing my bearings and now I′m falling in straight
I'm losing my sense of direction and rapidly falling
Down, I don't wanna go out
I'm feeling down and don't want to leave this rut
Send this away
I want to send this pain and problem elsewhere
Kinda wish that I could roll it all back to my car
I wish I could go back to a time when things were simpler
And spend another school night in the moonlight
I want to relive a moment from my past
And speed along the parkway just to hear you just say that I'm wrong
I want to drive and hear someone tell me I'm mistaken
But time will go on
Despite my desires, time continues to move forward
And I know it′s nothing now
I realize that my problems aren't really significant
And the stars just don′t look like they used to
The stars have lost their shine
They're missing some type of glow
The brightness of the stars used to be more intense
And I lost the best piece of myself on this ridge where we used to go
I lost my best self in a place that holds fond memories
To higher heights
To reach greater potential

I super appreciate the lyrics being readily accessible by the actual artist. So many of the Google "lyrics" people have attempted to compile are wrong.
