Don't
Dani-L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of mistaking
Sometimes I even trick myself into thinking
That I was wrong
We both know that's not even there
Was it easy
Blaming me for everything
Because things can only be black and white
We both know it's not true
Did blaming me help get you through
Plaster me with hate
Don't step around me (No no no…)
Tether me with expectations and
Point your fingers at me
Pathetic memories are etching their way through
Some painful times (Ooo…)
I don't believe in this or that but you forced me into one of them
Or both of them at times
I think you noticed I don't fit into boxes well
They don't confine me
I think that scares a little so
You tried to make one
Fit for me
Plaster me with hate
Don't step around me (No no no…)
Tether me with expectations and
Point your fingers at me
Chase me around
I don't really care
(No no no…)
It doesn't seem to hurt me (Oh)
But does it really help you
What did you think
I don't wear ropes tied to anyone (Yea)
It's so cruel
No one asked my opinion
They put their fears and withered truths
On me (On me…)
But I don't take that
No I don't take that
Oh
Plaster me with hate
Don't step around me (No no no…)
Tether me with expectations and
Point your fingers at me
Point your fingers at me
Does it help
Does it hurt
Does it help
Does it hurt
Does it help
Does it hurt
You
Does it help
Does it hurt
Does it help
Does it hurt
Does it help




Does it hurt
You

Overall Meaning

In Dani-L's song "Don't," the lyrics describe a person who is tired of being blamed for everything and being judged by someone who tries to put them in a box that doesn't fit. The singer is aware of the lies and manipulations that this person imposes on them but still feels the impact of their hatred and expectations. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and fatigue with being treated unfairly and being judged based on superficial and contradictory standards.


The lines "Plaster me with hate, Don't step around me, Tether me with expectations and Point your fingers at me" reveal the theme of projecting one's fears and insecurities onto others. The singer is being accused of something that they haven't done, and they are not given a chance to defend themselves. This kind of blame and judgement makes them feel helpless and trapped. However, the singer has a strong sense of self and refuses to let the judgments of others define them. They see through the veiled attempts to manipulate and control them and refuse to be tethered to someone else's expectations.


Overall, "Don't" is a song about standing up for oneself and resisting the urge to be controlled by others. The lyrics express a desire to break free from the constraints that others try to impose and to find one's own identity outside of the expectations of others.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm tired of mistaking
I'm exhausted from constantly being wrong


Sometimes I even trick myself into thinking
Sometimes I deceive myself into believing false things


That I was wrong
That I made a mistake


We both know that's not even there
But we both know that's not true


Was it easy
Was it effortless


Blaming me for everything
Holding me responsible for all faults


Because things can only be black and white
Because things are either right or wrong


We both know it's not true
But we both know that's a false statement


Did blaming me help get you through
Did holding me responsible make it easier for you to cope


Plaster me with hate
Cover me with your dislike


Don't step around me (No no no…)
Don't avoid me


Tether me with expectations and
Restrict me with your demands


Point your fingers at me
Accuse me openly


Pathetic memories are etching their way through
Embarrassing memories are reappearing


Some painful times (Ooo…)
Some distressing moments


I don't believe in this or that but you forced me into one of them
I'm not sure of my beliefs, but you pressured me to choose one


Or both of them at times
Or even both simultaneously


I think you noticed I don't fit into boxes well
I think you realize that I don't conform to your expectations easily


They don't confine me
Rules and restrictions don't limit me


I think that scares a little so
I think that frightens you somewhat


You tried to make one
You attempted to impose one on me


Fit for me
That suits me


Chase me around
Follow me closely


I don't really care
I'm indifferent to it


(No no no…)


It doesn't seem to hurt me (Oh)
It doesn't appear to affect me negatively


But does it really help you
But does it genuinely benefit you


What did you think
What was your thought process


I don't wear ropes tied to anyone (Yea)
I'm not bound by anyone


It's so cruel
It's inhumane


No one asked my opinion
No one asked for my thoughts


They put their fears and withered truths
They imposed their own fears and distorted facts


On me (On me…)
On me


But I don't take that
But I don't accept that


No I don't take that
No I don't accept that


Oh


Does it help
Does it aid you


Does it hurt
Does it harm you

Does it aid you


Does it hurt
Does it harm you

Does it aid you
