Don't Stop
FUTURE SCREENS Lyrics

The lines in Future Screens’ “Don’t Stop” hold a sense of freedom and escape. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner can be themselves without the world watching or judging them. The lyrics instill a sense of running away from a confined past and embracing a new moment freely, where they can write their own story. The song talks about experiencing something new – Something that may have been there before, but was never explored or spoken of. The feeling feels similar, yet there is an unmistakable freshness in what the song describes. There is a sense of excitement and hope tenacious throughout the song.

The opening lines of the song are symbolic of a secret affair. The secret here means the feeling and experience of losing oneself new, free, and fresh. And when there is no one around to watch, that is when the magic happens. The lines, “I found a new potion, it feels the same. But the wind's not blowing, so I can't complain” seem to carry an air of dream-like scenario, maybe some kind of illusion that brings the feeling of newness to the affair. The lyrics “just don’t stop, ‘cause I don’t know a thing about you” and “’cause I don’t wanna know a single thing about you” hold a sense of ambiguity that keeps the listener in suspense. The song talks about the pair’s impermanence, how they are “headed” somewhere, not stuck in the past, which is symbolically represented in the line “We’ll write a new ending then fall apart.”
