Don't Look Back
Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Funny how they shape your thoughts
Right out loud
Some days you laugh
Some days you cry
So deep in a night
It leaves you stranded high and dry
Keep to yourself, keep it in case
Keep it when you need it for a pretty smile
For your face
Walk out in the sun
Walk out in the rain
Keep on walking
And don't look back here again
In Church's song Don't Look Back, the lyrics are seemingly contemplative, discussing the idea of watching the clouds and the ways in which they can shape your thoughts. The lyrics express the ups and downs of our emotions - some days we laugh and some days we cry, feeling stranded and alone in the depths of the night. The song encourages the listener to keep their thoughts and emotions to themselves, holding onto them for when they might need them later on, perhaps for a time when they need to put on a happy face.
The chorus delivers a hopeful message - encouraging the listener to keep moving forward, to walk out in the sun, to walk out in the rain, and never look back. It seems to suggest that dwelling on the past can only hold you back, and that the only way to move forward is to keep walking towards the future. The song's gentle, soothing melody and introspective lyrics make it a contemplative and calming listen.

Sometime up here, watching a cloud
At times, while being high up and watching a cloud
Funny how they shape your thoughts
It is intriguing how clouds can influence your thoughts
Right out loud
It is evident and clear to anyone who observes you
Some days you laugh
On certain days, you find yourself laughing
Some days you cry
On other days, you may find yourself shedding tears
So deep in a night
During the late hours of the night, when it feels most silent and dark
It leaves you stranded high and dry
You are left feeling isolated and helpless
Keep to yourself, keep it in case
Keep your emotions to yourself and store them for future reference
Keep it when you need it for a pretty smile
Keep it for when you need to put up a happy facade
For your face
To present to others through your facial expressions
Walk out in the sun
Get out and bask in the sunlight
Walk out in the rain
Get out and experience the rain
Keep on walking
Continue moving forward
And don't look back here again
And do not dwell on the past or negative occurrences
