Don't Worry
Elan (Rock) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please don't try to take me where
The sun don't shine, 'cause I will
Make a fool out of you.
Please don't try to bring me down,
They did that to you,
But I'm not like you.

And don't you worry,
Your life is heavy but I'll take care of you.
And don't you worry,
You've been a bad friend but I still love you.

Please don't try to kick me
When I'm already down.
Haven't you learned from looking around?
Please don't try to tear us apart.

And don't you worry,
Your life is heavey but I'll take care of you.




And don't you worry,
You've been a bad friend but I still love you.(x2)

Overall Meaning

At its core, "Don't Worry" by Elan is a song about the complexities of friendship and the struggles involved in trying to remain loyal to someone who may not reciprocate that loyalty.

They assert their own strength and independence by warning others not to try to take them where "the sun don't shine," as they will not be made into a fool.


However, even as the singer sets these boundaries, they also demonstrate a deep empathy for their troubled friend. The refrain "Don't you worry, your life is heavy but I'll take care of you" shows that despite any conflicts or betrayals that may have occurred, the singer still cares for their friend and wants to be there for them. The final line, "You've been a bad friend but I still love you," encapsulates the complexity of their relationship - the singer acknowledges the friend's flaws, but still wants to offer support and forgiveness.


Overall, "Don't Worry" is a powerful reflection on the challenges of both giving and receiving loyalty among friends, as well as the importance of setting healthy boundaries while still remaining compassionate and kind.
