Gentle Way
Donots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cheap talk, ive senn through you
your faked interests ive senn em too
silly conversations, superficial matters
puzzled thoughts wheres the pattern
your subjects are far too casual
and to touch my core they're too ususal
pretending to be my friend
but if my life was at stake, you wouldn't
be at hand...
cause you just use me to get the better seat
and you don't pay no mind anything that i bleed
and now you want me to believe in the lies you tel
but believe me, boy, i know your game so very well
it's just the gentle way of saying fuck you
through all the time ive throught
that friendship wasn't only a word
but your cheap tricks they're proved me wrong
and i didn't need your comments now,
so please hold your tongue
and don't come crawling to me to talk about
"good weather" when the clouds are hanging
deeper than ever . ive heard it all before




and how im through with you
so stop acting as if you were true blue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Donots's song "Gentle Way" depict a situation where the singer has had enough of someone who feigns friendship while using them for personal gain. The singer sees through the other person's fake interests, superficial conversations, and casual subjects that never delve deep enough to touch the core. The other person wants to be seen as a friend, but the singer knows that they wouldn't be there for them in a time of need. The other person is only interested in getting a better seat at the expense of the singer's well-being.


The singer is tired of being used and doesn't want to hear any more lies from the other person. They have come to realize that true friendship is more than just a word, and the other person's cheap tricks have proven them wrong. The singer doesn't want to hear any more of the other person's comments and has had enough of their phoniness. They don't want to hear about "good weather" when there are clouds hanging deeper than ever. The singer has heard it all before and is through with the other person.


The song's lyrics tell a relatable story of being used by someone who only pretends to be a friend while using you for personal gain. The singer's frustration is palpable, and the imagery used in the song helps emphasize the emotion of the lyrics.

Tip: If you have 2 guns and don't wanna drop either for tier 3 but you have something like a juggernaut or precision airstrike score streak, hold it out and run instead

@roller_7

Love your mw3 guides and videos in general. Keep up the good work❤️

@really_kevin8869

i’ve found that throwing knives are insanely good for dealing with zombies in zone 3. i’ve grinded out entire games without a gun in zone 3 using just throwing knives and juggernauts

@Doughnuts

I just love having a gun in tier 3. So much more satisfying. But I can see the appeal of just going in ASAP!

@Hx4DNegus

Been using knives since day one. #underated

@PhoenixKnives

Respectfully I don’t mind using throwing knives tho I feel more satisfied using a breacher drone or Semtex to absolutely turn every zombie around me to red mist

@Stevetrucker1992

Decoys and wsp run as fast as fist 200 mag

@sunsetlover078

Hey Doughnuts! Came across your video since recently purchasing MWIII (didn’t buy MWII last cod I brought was Cold War and MW2019) and your videos have been absolute spot on. No 15 mins bs talking about stuff that doesn’t matter like other videos on YT. Quick, simple, to the point. You have earned a new sub. Keep up the great work I look forward to the new videos!

@Doughnuts

Wow, thank you so much! I try my best :D So honored to be a part of the community!
