Don't Let Go
A Metaphor for Betrayal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Face down into the abyss of my deception
Observe, feel my pain
It is a cycle of human decay
Inside of my mind is where
No one would stay
I know that I've been hiding
In the darkest corners of my mind
I need you here
'Cause every time you make me feel
Like we belong
Like you're the one for me
'Till death do us part
I'll stay here right by
Your side
And the trace of blood
Cannot be washed from my hands but your gaze
Pulls me away
I'm falling out
I'm falling out but your hands
Save me from my decay
You should've known
You should've known
You should've known what you're getting yourself into
BLEAGH!
'Cause I feel the worst
'Cause I feel the worst when you're not around
'Cause I feel the worst
'Cause I'm not worthy of nothing more
Not worthy of more
Don't you let go
I need you here
'Cause every time you make me feel
Like we belong
Like you're the one for me
'Till death do us part
I'll stay here right by
Your side
And the trace of blood
Cannot be washed from my hands but your gaze
Pulls me away
I'm falling out
I'm falling out but your hands
Save me from my decay
The lyrics to A Metaphor for Betrayal's song "Don't Let Go" seem to be about a person struggling with their own destructive tendencies and the deception that comes along with it. This person is stuck in a cycle of decay, and observes their own pain. The lyrics suggest that this person has been hiding in the darkest corners of their mind, indicating perhaps that they have been avoiding their problems. The repetition of the phrase "Don't you let go" throughout the song suggests that the person is reaching out for help, possibly to a loved one or friend who they feel can save them from their decay.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of betrayal. The line "You should've known what you're getting yourself into" suggests that the person feels they have been betrayed by someone who entered a relationship with them. The metaphor of blood on their hands represents guilt and shame, and implies that they perhaps did something wrong in the past that they cannot forget. However, the gaze of the person they are reaching out to pulls them away from this darkness, and they are saved from their decay by their hands.
Overall, the lyrics to "Don't Let Go" convey a sense of personal pain and struggle, but with a glimmer of hope that someone can save them from their inner turmoil.
