Don't Go Away
Andy & Korous Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers, darling
Come to me

Play with fire 'til your fingers burn
When there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers, darling

Come to me

For when you hear a call
To follow your heart
You'll follow your heart, I know
I've been through it all
For I'm an old hand
And I'll understand if you go

So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, darling
Come to me

So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company

Don't go to strangers, darling
Come to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Go Away" by Andy & Kouros sends a powerful message about the importance of having someone to lean on when life gets tough. The first verse encourages listeners to dream big, and aim for the stars. However, when times are hard and one needs someone to love, the singer warns against turning to strangers for comfort. Instead, the singer extends an invitation to come to him, suggesting that he can be trusted and relied upon when needed.

In the second verse, the song encourages listeners to take risks, even if they lead to failure or heartbreak. However, when there's no one else to turn to, the singer again reminds listeners not to go to strangers, but to come to him. He has been through it all before and can provide the support and understanding that's needed.

The chorus repeats the message that when someone hears the call to follow their heart, they mustn't turn to strangers, but to the singer who understands and can offer comfort. The bridge reinforces the idea that it's important to make your mark in the world, but when you need more than just company, don't turn to strangers - come to the singer.

Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of having a trustworthy and supportive person in one's life. It's important to have big dreams and take risks, but when things go wrong or when one needs someone to love, it's best to turn to someone you know you can rely on.
