Don't You
Fandom Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Greeting and attracting the listener's attention

Won't you come see about me?
Asking someone to check on the singer

I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Admitting loneliness and expressing the desire to dance

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Inviting the listener to share their problems

Giving me everything inside and out and
Asking for complete emotional disclosure

Love's strange so real in the dark
Observing the mysterious nature of love

Think of the tender things that we were working on
Remembering the sweet moments shared with the listener

Slow change may pull us apart
Noting the possibility of growing apart

When the light gets into your heart, baby
Believing that the listener's heart can be rekindled

Don't You Forget About Me
Pleading for the listener not to forget the artist

Will you stand above me?
Asking if the listener will be superior to the singer

Look my way, never love me
Describing a one-sided attraction

Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Using the rain as a metaphor for sadness

Down, down, down
Repeating the metaphor for emphasis

Will you recognise me?
Asking if the listener will acknowledge the singer

Call my name or walk on by
Giving the listener two options for how to act

Don't you try to pretend
Warning the listener against feigning ignorance

It's my feeling we'll win in the end
Believing that the singer and listener will ultimately succeed

I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Promising not to hurt the listener

Vanity and security
Pairing two abstract concepts as a way of saying 'for protection'

Going to take you apart
Professing a desire to understand the listener deeply

I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Promising to repair any emotional rift between the artist and listener

Don't You Forget About Me
Repeating the plea from earlier

As you walk on by
Envisioning the listener passing by the artist

Will you call my name?
Asking if the listener will acknowledge the singer

When you walk away
Expressing sadness at the possibility of being ignored

Or will you walk away?
Repeating the question with an added emphasis

Come on - call my name
Urging the listener to make contact

I say: La la la...
Ending the song with a nonsensical vocalization
