The song is a song about worrying about the end of the world and telling yourself to take it easy and to not think twice about the decisions that you make in life because nothing is forever.
Twice
Charli XCX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
When it's too much
When it's too much
Got me feeling so scared
Yeah, real talk with my demons lately
Real talk in the mirror, save me
When it's too much (too much, much)
Gotta live life good, appreciate it
Nothing is forever
Lucky to remember
Stay up in the moment
All night, all night, yeah
All the things I love are gonna leave me
One day, you're never gonna be there
I tell myself to take it easy
Don't think twice about it, baby
Up on the hill, we'll see it all end
Die happy thinking 'bout my best friends
'Til then I'm diving off the deep end
Don't think twice about it I say
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
When I let go
Let my body ascend
Let the love through
See the light at the end
Yeah, real talk with my demons lately
Real talk in the mirror, so brave
When I let go
I'll say I lived life good, appreciated
Nothing is forever
Lucky to remember
Stay up in the moment
All night, all night, yeah
All the things I love are gonna leave me
One day, you're never gonna be there
I tell myself to take it easy
Don't think twice about it, baby
Up on the hill, we'll see it all end
Die happy thinking 'bout my best friends
'Til then I'm diving off the deep end
Don't think twice about it, I say
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think, don't think twice
Don't think, don't think twice (don't think, don't)
Don't think, don't think twice (don't think, don't)
Don't think, don't think twice (don't think, don't)
Don't think, don't think twice (don't think, don't)

Don't think, don't think twice
In Charli XCX’s song “Twice,” she pleads with herself and her listeners to stop overthinking and doubting themselves. She repeats “don’t think twice” throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that sometimes thoughts can hold us back from fully enjoying our lives. Charli admits that she has been feeling scared and sometimes has thoughts of giving up, but she reminds herself to appreciate life and live it to the fullest.
The lyrics “All the things I love are gonna leave me, one day you’re never gonna be there” also suggest the fear of losing loved ones and the idea that everything in life is temporary. However, Charli decides to embrace this concept and enjoy the present moment. “Up on the hill, we’ll see it all end, die happy thinking ‘bout my best friends” illustrates the acceptance of mortality and the desire to live life with no regrets.

Don't think about it

Having candid conversations with one's inner struggles and mental health
Real talk in the mirror, save me
Being honest with oneself and asking to be rescued from the pain

Nothing is forever
Nothing lasts forever

Let my body ascend
Allowing oneself to rise above the negative emotions
Let the love through
Allowing love and positivity
See the light at the end
Seeing hope for a better future
So brave
Being courageous in one's self-reflection and acceptance
I'll say I lived life good, appreciated
Hoping to say that one lived a good life and appreciated it before it's too late
Don't, don't, don't think twice (don't think, don't)
Reiterating the message to avoid overthinking
Don't think, don't think twice
No need to ponder or ruminate on something more than once

@weam6991
you can thank george daniel for this one. she didn't want to put it there but he said it would be "stupid" if she didn't
@dancerarinz556
@@weam6991 So this is the "Official" of this album. On Charli, she didn't want to put out Official, but AG Cook convinced her to release it.
@inyrui
Glad she did cause this is easily my favorite song on the album. I kinda feel like it has radio potential
