Don't look back
Angela Mccluskey Telepopmusik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's behind the other door
No more silence, don't kill this thing we got called love
Just searching for the perfect drug
When Love comes calling
Don't look back
When love comes calling
And I'm standing over here
Watching you over there
Smiling, happy, unaware
Oh, life is spinning round
You're going underground, forgetting who we were
Let's try and keep it just one more day
You take your love
And throw it all around
Like it's nothing special
Just a sound
Let me say one more thing
I don't think you realize
That a day is like a year sometime
The song "Don't Look Back" by Telepopmusik featuring Angela McCluskey begins with a directive to the listener to sit still and close their eyes. This sets the stage for the reflective and introspective nature of the rest of the song. The lyrics then ask the listener to consider what is behind the other door, as if there is another world or possibility just waiting to be discovered. The words also implore the listener not to give up on love, stating that it is something worth searching for and holding onto.
As the song progresses, the lyrics speak about the temptation to turn away from love when it becomes difficult or overwhelming. The phrase "don't look back" is repeated several times to underscore the importance of staying present and committed. The lines "You're going underground, forgetting who we were/Let's try and keep it just one more day" speak to the fragility of relationships and the need to constantly work on them in order to keep them alive.
Line by Line Meaning
Sit Still, and close your eyes
Be calm and shut off your external point of view
What's behind the other door
What untold mysteries are lying on the other side
No more silence, don't kill this thing we got called love
Never let the silence between you two kill the love you share
Just searching for the perfect drug
Only looking for something that brings you that perfect, euphoric feeling
When Love comes calling
When true love finally arrives
Don't look back
Do not regret the past or turn away from the present
When love comes calling
When true love finally arrives
Don't look away
Do not refuse or ignore the love that's being offered
And I'm standing over here
I am watching from my location
Watching you over there
Observing you from afar
Smiling, happy, unaware
You seem content and joyful, without any knowledge of what's going on around you
Oh, life is spinning round
Life is going by quickly
You're going underground, forgetting who we were
You're changing and losing touch with the person you used to be
Let's try and keep it just one more day
Let's try to hold on to what we have for a little longer
You take your love
Instead of cherishing it
And throw it all around
You give it out carelessly to everyone and everything
Like it's nothing special
Treating it as though it's not important
Just a sound
Like it's just another noise
Let me say one more thing
There's one more thing I need to explain
I don't think you realize
I don't believe you comprehend
That a day is like a year sometime
Time can feel much longer than we think it is
