Don't You Look Back
AUGUSTINES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night and thought
Something's missing
Something's wrong
If you could give me any advice, I would
I would listen I would you know
All right this kiss ain't got no hope
This kiss ain't got no hope
You see
We go up then down again
This'll be the end
Up then down again
They'll all drink themselves to death
Then we go up then down
You won't see my face again
I'm gonna get on out
All right
Don't you look back
Don't look back
You won't get burned
You won't get burned
Don't you look back
Don't look back
You won't get burned
You won't get burned
Our days fade away like ghosts
In the fog
And now, now they're missin'
Now they're gone
If you could give me any advice I would, I would listen
I feel alone
All right this kiss ain't got no hope
But I'm gonna get it right
This kiss ain't got no hope
You see
We go up then down again
This'll be the end
Up then down again
They'll all drink themselves to death
We go up then down again
They won't see my face again
I'm gonna get on out
Right now
Don't you look back
Don't look back
You won't get burned
You won't get burned
Don't you look back
Don't look back
You won't get burned
You won't get burned
C'mon we ain't goin' nowhere
And this we already know
All right, all right
Heres our chance to get on out
This we already know all right all right
C'mon we're just running in place
And this we already know
All right all right
We gotta get outta here
And this we already know
We know
In the Augustines’ song Don’t You Look Back, the singer expresses feelings of confusion and loneliness. The first verse describes a walk along the river at night while contemplating what’s missing and what’s wrong. The chorus repeats the phrase “Don't you look back, you won't get burned,” which could be interpreted as advice to keep looking forward and not dwell on the past. The second verse focuses on the fleeting nature of time and the regret that comes with missed opportunities. The last verse emphasizes the need to take action and move forward, as the repetition of “all right, all right” suggests a determination to do better.
The overarching theme of the song seems to revolve around change and the importance of actively seeking it. Whether it’s finding something that’s missing in life or gaining the courage to leave a situation that’s not working, the artist urges listeners to not be afraid of moving forward. The chorus, in particular, reinforces the idea that dwelling on the past only leads to pain, and that the best way to avoid being hurt is to focus on the present.
One significant aspect of the song is its anthemic quality. The chorus is easy to sing along to and is designed for audience participation. The repeated phrases and catchy melody make it a memorable song that could easily be sung at concerts or used as a motivational anthem. Additionally, the lyrics are open to interpretation and could be applied to a variety of situations, from personal relationships to political movements.

If you could give me any advice, I would
If you have any guidance to offer, I am willing to hear you out

This kiss ain't got no hope
This romantic encounter lacks the potential for a successful future
But I'm gonna get it right
However, I am committed to making progress and finding happiness
You see
Allow me to explain further
We go up then down again
Life is a series of highs and lows
This'll be the end
This particular relationship will not survive the tumultuous journey ahead
They'll all drink themselves to death
Others may attempt to cope with life's difficulties in destructive ways
Then we go up then down
However, it is important to remember that life is cyclical
You won't see my face again

Don't you look back
Do not dwell on the past
You won't get burned
You will not suffer from the negative consequences of focusing on what has already happened
Our days fade away like ghosts
The passage of time is fleeting and can slip away like a whisper in the wind
In the fog
In the haze of uncertainty and confusion
And now, now they're missin'
Now, I feel like I have lost something valuable and irreplaceable
Now they're gone
The opportunities and experiences of the past have vanished from my grasp
I feel alone
I sense a profound sense of isolation and disconnection from others
C'mon we ain't goin' nowhere
Our lives are stagnant and unchanging
And this we already know
This is a reality that we have already recognized
Here's our chance to get on out
However, we still have the opportunity to break free from this rut and make positive changes in our lives
We're just runnin' in place
Despite our best intentions, we may feel like we are not making any progress
We gotta get outta here
We need to leave behind our old ways and embrace new opportunities
We know
Deep down, we are aware of the need for change
