Don't Go
ELAINE & ELLEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's breakin' your heart
'Cause you know you were no good from the start
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go,
Don't let go oh oh oh
When you're headin' nowhere
And those friends who you relied upon don't care
Ain't nobody gonna help you ease your rage
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go,
Don't let go oh oh oh, oh oh
I know that it's so easy to advise
But I hear someone callin'
And I feel somethin' fallin'
Through the money in your eyes
When all faith has gone
And you ain't got the strength to carry on
Like a child bathed in me
Hide away from the lovin that you seek
But don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
The lyrics of "Don't Go" by ELAINE & ELLEN speak to the feeling of being lost and alone in the world, especially during emotionally trying times like the uncertainty of youth or the aftermath of a broken relationship. The song acknowledges the desolation and self-doubt that people can experience during these times, with lines like "When you're school shy and the world it ain't easy to find," and "When you're headin' nowhere/ And those friends who you relied upon don't care." The singer implores the listener not to give up or give in to their negative emotions, urging them to "Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go."
The final verse of the song acknowledges that it can be difficult to give advice when someone is in the throes of despair, but the singer still feels compelled to try. They hear someone calling out for help, and they sense something slipping away from the listener. They encourage the listener not to lose faith or give up, even when it seems like there is no hope left. The final lines of the song compare the listener to a frightened child, "bathed in me," and urge them not to run away from the love and support they need. It's a poignant and empathetic message that speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone.

When you're school shy and the world it ain't easy to find
When you're feeling nervous and lost in this big, scary world
And it's breakin' your heart
And it's hurting you deeply
'Cause you know you were no good from the start
Because you feel like you've always been flawed and destined to fail
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go,
Hold on tight, don't give up
Don't let go oh oh oh
No matter what, don't let go
When you're headin' nowhere
When you feel directionless and lost
And those friends who you relied upon don't care
And the people you thought would always have your back have let you down
And your room is a cage
And you feel trapped and suffocated in your own space
Ain't nobody gonna help you ease your rage
And it seems like no one can understand or alleviate your anger
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go,
Hold on tight, don't give up
Don't let go oh oh oh, oh oh
No matter what, don't let go
I know that it's so easy to advise
I understand that giving advice is simple in theory
But I hear someone callin'
But I hear a voice that's reaching out to you
And I feel somethin' fallin'
And I sense that something is slipping away from you
Through the money in your eyes
Despite your focus on wealth and material possessions
When all faith has gone
When you have lost all hope
And you ain't got the strength to carry on
And you feel utterly depleted and unable to continue
Like a child bathed in me
Like a child seeking refuge in my loving embrace
Hide away from the lovin' that you seek
Don't retreat from the love and support you need
But don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Hold on tight, don't give up
