Don't look back
Derrick Harriott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.
If you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
We're gonna walk and don't look back.
Don't look back
And don't look back
Don't look back
The places behind you let them re-remind you
If your first lover broke your heart,
There's something that can be done.
You don't run it, you don't hide it, you don't run it
Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walking and don't look back.
Forget about the past now.
Don't look back, baby.
Keep on walking and don't look back
The places behind you let them re-remind you.
Love can be a beautiful thing.
Though your first love let you down.
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby.
The second time around.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on pushing and don't look back.
Now, till I say, we won't look back, girl.
Keep on walking and won't look back.
Forget about the past now, baby.
And don't look back.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't look back.
The lyrics of Derrick Harriott & The Crystalites's song "Don't Look Back" symbolize the idea that one should not look back into their past and ponder over the actions that led them to their current state. The song advises to take the plunge and hold hands to embrace the unknown future together, leaving behind all the troubles and heartbreaks that occurred during the course of their life.
The first verse highlights the fact that hiding or running from love is not the right thing to do. Though love can bring problems, they are bound to be faced and dealt with. By holding hands and walking together, all the worries will be left behind. The second verse reaffirms that there is always a second chance at love, and one should not lose faith in love because of a past heartbreak. The final verse is powerful and motivates the listener to keep pushing towards the future while forgetting about the past.
