Don
Amber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the ticking of clocks is more like a drum
And you're caught in a trap, can't find your way home
Me, you're not perfect, not perfect either
Letting blind anger hold you, grip like a fever

But I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight anymore
'Cause we've been here before, we've been here before
I, I
Don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight
I, I
Don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight

But we can keep treading water, or try something new
And stare at the ground in front of you
But what did I do? How did I do it?
Can explain the feeling, but not the motive

But I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight anymore
But we've been here before, we've been here before
I, I
Don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight
I, I
Don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight

Oh, we've been here before
Oh, we've been here before
Oh, we've been here before
Oh, we've been here before

I, I
Don't want to feel like I'm falling short
I, I
Don't want to feel like I'm on my own
I, I
Don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight




I, I
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna fight

Overall Meaning

In Amber's song "Don," the artist discusses the ups and downs of a relationship, where both partners have flaws but ultimately do not want to fight anymore. The lyrics touch on the feeling of being trapped and lost in one's own thoughts, and how it can lead to blind anger that only worsens the situation. The repetition of "we've been here before" suggests that this cycle of conflict is not new, and the artist is tired of it. However, instead of treading water and avoiding the issue, the artist suggests trying something new and facing the problem head-on.
