Don't Let Go
Deep Purple Lyrics

I get lost on a regular basis
I often feel disoriented, uncertain about my path or direction in life.

I'm not alone I see the same old faces
Others around me are also struggling with similar issues or challenges.

Back on the road it's a worthy opponent
Going out into the world presents difficulties and obstacles that must be tackled to achieve success.

I get home in the heat of the moment
After facing the day's various obstacles, I arrive home feeling a sense of urgency and passion.

What's that stuff always rise to the surface
Certain themes or patterns often emerge most prominently despite efforts to suppress them.

College cream, it always emerges
Regardless of how hard one might try to bury it, certain aspects or memories from the past inevitably resurface.

Be what you are I tell myself
I try to remind myself to be authentic and true to who I am.

And myself tells me we can't be anybody else
I realize that attempting to be someone else is futile and counterproductive.

You always sleep with a smile on your face
Observing someone else's apparent contentment leads me to feel envious or curious about their happiness.

Much as I want to put myself in your place
I yearn to experience the sense of happiness or satisfaction that the other person seems to have.

Not my business I've got dreams of my own
I recognize that I need to focus on my own priorities and aspirations instead of becoming overly fixated on someone else's experience.

I try to recall but when I wake up it's gone
Memory is fleeting, and sometimes the things we value most slip away from us without our realizing it until it's too late.

Don't let go of that image
Hold onto important memories or experiences tightly, as they may never come again.

You'll never see it again
Once something is gone, it cannot be fully recaptured or replicated in the same way as before.

I can hear voices they're buzzing in my head
The thoughts and opinions of others can become a cacophony of noise that's difficult to ignore or overcome.

Eyebrows raised was it something I said
I become self-conscious and wonder whether my words or actions have been noticed or criticized.

A long hot night, it crept in like a thief
Things can unexpectedly and aggressively shift in a negative manner, like a sudden burglary or theft.

The engine stopped, the seat belt popped
Suddenly everything comes to a halt and the situation feels out of control and chaotic.

And her jaw dropped in disbelief
The sudden turn of events is so surprising that it causes surprise and shock in others present.

Don't let go of that beast
Don't lose control or let yourself be overtaken by negative impulses.

Don't let go of that whiskey bottle
Don't rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms or distractions to avoid dealing with deeper issues or emotions.
