After Don Cherry's death in 1995, Eagle-Eye moved to Stockholm with his girlfriend, and he began to focus on songwriting. He soon recorded 'Desireless' (1997), and it became a hit across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, with an American release coming in 1998. "Save Tonight" proved a major hit, and made Cherry into an international star. His second album came in 2000 (titled 'Living in the Present Future') and was remixed for the States (where it was released as 'Present/Future'), but it saw disappointing sales. Cherry's success has waxed and waned since his late 90s heyday
Don't Give Up
Eagle-Eye Cherry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a loss of faith
We're still hanging on
For another day
It's so hard to see
That it's going to get better
And when will that be
It's hard to say
We must believe
That if we give we will receive
Yes we must believe
That it's going to get better
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
Don't Give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
Now we're breaking away
From what holds us down
This could be the day
That brings out the light
Now we're marching on
With the will of never giving up
This time we'll have won
Without a fight
We must believe
That if we give we will receive
Yes we must believe
That it's going to get better
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
We must believe
That if we give we will receive
Yes we must believe
That it's going to get better
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got

In these lyrics, Eagle-Eye Cherry speaks of the hardships of life and how important it is to keep holding on and never give up, no matter how tough the situation may seem. The opening lines, "All our dreams are gone, with a loss of faith, we're still hanging on for another day," suggest that the person may have lost faith in themselves and their dreams, but they are still persevering and trying to push through their difficulties. It's evident that the person is facing a lot of challenges and is struggling to see any hope for the future. The line, "It's so hard to see that it's going to get better, and when will that be, it's hard to say," emphasizes this point.
However, despite the hardships, the lyrics suggest that the person needs to have faith and believe that things will improve. "We must believe that if we give, we will receive," is a call to action, telling the person to keep moving forward and pushing through the adversity. The repetition of "Don't give up, never give up, we won't stop giving all we got" provides a powerful message of encouragement and strength.
The lyrics also speak of breaking away from what holds us down and moving forward with a renewed sense of hope and determination. The line, "Now we're marching on with the will of never giving up, this time we'll have won, without a fight" illustrates that the person is ready to fight for their dreams and face the challenges ahead with courage and perseverance. Ultimately, the song is an anthem of hope and encouragement, reminding listeners to keep moving forward and never giving up on their dreams, no matter how difficult the journey may seem.
