Don't Leave Me
Dougal & Gammer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come, come, into my head
I′ll show you the things that I shouldn't have said
There′s, dirt, dirt, dirt on my shoes
Got my paper it's all bad news
And there's old clothes nothing fits
It′s all gone grey got nothing to miss
And I don′t talk don't say enough
I′m running away I got no good luck

Don't leave me
Or I′ll come searching for
For an easy
Way into your door
For more, for more

So don't leave me
Or I′ll come searching for
For an easy
Way into your door
For more, for more





And repeat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dougal & Gammer's song Don't Leave Me convey a sense of desperation from the singer, who seems to be facing a difficult time. The first verse "Come, come, into my head, I′ll show you the things that I shouldn't have said" express the singer's desire for someone to enter their thoughts and understand their regrets or past mistakes. The next line "There's, dirt, dirt, dirt on my shoes, Got my paper it's all bad news" may suggest a metaphorical or literal dirtiness, as well as a feeling of defeat or bad news.


As the song continues, the singer explains how their belongings have lost their value, from old clothes not fitting anymore to everything turning grey, implying something has been lost or left behind. The next line "And I don′t talk, don't say enough, I'm running away, I've got no good luck" highlights the singer's sense of hopelessness and perhaps a lack of communication in their relationships. The chorus "Don't leave me, or I'll come searching for, for an easy way into your door, for more, for more" can be interpreted as the singer begging someone to not abandon them and offering to be more accessible or giving to them.
