Don't Stop
Dougal And Gammer Feat Jenna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anythin' to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
(Don't stop) Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop!
The lyrics of Dougal And Gammer Feat Jenna's song "Don't Stop" is inspired by the classic rock song "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. The song tells the story of two people, a small town girl and a city boy, who take a midnight train to unknown destinations in search of something more fulfilling in their lives. The song highlights the struggles and hopes of these characters to find a purpose in their lives.
The first verse introduces the two characters, the small town girl and the city boy, who take a midnight train to escape their loneliness and search for a better life. The second verse introduces a singer in a smokey room, the smell of wine and cheap perfume, and how they share the night for a smile. The chorus repeats the phrase "Strangers waiting / Up and down the boulevard / Their shadows searchin' in the night / Streetlight, people".
The bridge talks about how people work hard to get their fill, but they are still searching for something bigger and more meaningful. Everyone wants a thrill and is willing to pay anything to take a chance just one more time. The final chorus is a repetition of the first one, encouraging people to hold on to that feeling of hope and never stop believing that they will find what they are looking for.
