Do Do Do
Almost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try to be as healthy as you can”
Not verbatim, but
Something pretty close to that
Contact with the eye
Seems called for when asking for help
that’s the part where
I keep getting hung up
Ringing other people’s door bells
Standing on the welcome mat
Hoping it’s the right place and not a bad time
And it’s a lie
That you only hurt yourself here
When you stay outside
The ring of your neighbor’s porch light
And it’s a lie
That you only hurt yourself here
When you stay outside
The ring of your neighbor’s porch light
I’m thinking that you’re all so kind
But you’re all so very busy
Staring at a sign warning salesmen
And Mormons not to even try
Halloween was a bit of a nightmare
But at least I was anonymous then
Now I’m wondering
To what extent this is different
Asking you to coffee
Instead of for the number of your therapist
And I’ve always been nervous ringing
Other people’s door bells
Standing on the welcome mat
Hoping it’s the right place and not a bad time
And it’s a lie
That you only hurt yourself here
When you stay outside
The ring of your neighbor’s porch light
And it's a lie
That you only hurt yourself here
When you stay outside
The ring of your neighbor's porch light
I’m standing on the welcome mat
Just trying to breathe
The song "Do Do Do" by Almost explores the anxiety of reaching out for help and the fear of being vulnerable. The lyrics suggest that it is important to wait out difficult times and focus on self-care, but also acknowledge the struggle of asking for assistance when needed. The singer describes feeling nervous and unsure when approaching others for help, comparing it to ringing someone else's doorbell and standing on their welcome mat, hoping it's the right time and place.
The line "Contact with the eye seems called for when asking for help" shows the struggle of making eye contact and confronting the discomfort of acknowledging the need for support. The singer recognizes the lie that staying outside of the neighbor's porch light only hurts oneself and suggests that reaching out for help is necessary to overcome adversity.
The song also touches on the anxiety felt during social situations, such as Halloween and asking someone out for coffee. The lyrics express that even in these fearful moments, it is important to take a deep breath and keep trying. The repetition of the line "And it's a lie that you only hurt yourself here when you stay outside the ring of your neighbor's porch light" emphasizes the importance of taking risks and reaching out for help.

She has a lot of “3 am, 4 am, middle of the night” in this album. I feel like we should have a slumber party for this album to be on theme.

Almost Do is the anthem for the people trying to leave someone who only hurts them and being stronger than the part of their self that misses them.
