Don't Worry
Culture Abuse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ill be right back
don't miss me
i'll just feel bad
don't worry
i'll be right back
along the way
she's got her emotions
she's got her own language
of leaving me behind
and don't say that i tried it
thought you didn't like it
you got a number
keys to your apartment
walking you home
nowhere to go
crawling on the road
crawling on the road
stop
i heard you say
don't worry
ill be right back
don't miss me
i'll just feel bad
don't worry
i'll be right back
along the way
she's got her emotions
of leaving me dry
she's got her own language
that's leaving me behind
and don't say that i tried it
thought you didn't like it
you got a number
keys to your apartment
walking you home
nowhere to go
sometimes you need something more
don't worry
ill be right back
don't miss me
i'll just feel bad
don't worry
i'll be right back
along the way
The lyrics of the song "Don't Worry" by Culture Abuse has a theme of abandonment and anxiety that comes with it. The song suggests that the singer is leaving someone behind and assuring them that they will return. The repetition of the phrase "Don't worry, I'll be right back," suggests that the singer is aware of the worry and stress this abandonment may cause but still has to go. However, the desperation in the lyrics and the use of imagery such as "crawling on the road" suggests that the singer may not be ready to leave as much as he is compelled to go.
The section "she's got her own language that's leaving me behind," suggests that the person left behind has their ways of communicating and leaving, which the singer cannot understand or process. In contrast, he believes that the person does not like him, which leads to the confusion and feeling of desperation that is repeated throughout the song. The chorus "Don't miss me, I'll just feel bad" suggests that this abandonment is not unique, and the singer may have caused similar pain before.
The repetition of the song's bridge suggests some hope, but it's not clear whether the singer has given up or tried to make up or return. The song, therefore, ends with resignation, as the person left behind is left with their emotions and their own way of understanding the situation.
