Don't Give Up
Ferras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say the things we mean most
They remain inside us
Haunting holding
When I dream I cant sleep
When I miss I miss you
When I leave it always leaves me
Wanting wanting
Don't give up on me
We may need a miracle
When I look at you theres an angel who
Never left me completely
Don't give up on me
Cause we are
When I look at you I see an angel that wants to leave
Don't you give up on me
When we least expect it
They decide to break through
Seems a heart may know me
I know you know you
When I sleep I cant
When I miss I
When I stay I'm always staying for you for you
Don't give up on me
We may need a miracle
When I look at you
Theres and angel who never left me completely
Don't give up on me
Cause we are the musical
When we touch when you feel when see what I could be
Don't you give up on me
And for thing we take
We must give something
And our hearts will have to break
Before we feel something feel something
All I destroy
Begins to mean something
Without you without the trust
With out us
Don't give up on me
We may need a miracle
When I look at you
Theres an angel who never left me completely
Don't give up on me
We may need a miracle
When I look at you I see an angel who
Don't you give up on me
Don't give up on me
Cause we are the musical
When we touch when you feel when you see what I could be
Don't you give up on me
The song "Don't Give Up" by Ferras is a beautiful ballad that talks about holding onto hope even in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "Letters that we don't send, say the things we mean most. They remain inside us, haunting, holding" speaks to the idea of unspoken words, missed opportunities, and the burden of regret. The singer dreams of the person they miss and cannot sleep, but can't seem to find contentment either when they leave. There is a sense of yearning throughout the song, a longing for connection and intimacy.
The chorus, "Don't give up on me, we may need a miracle. When I look at you, there's an angel who never left me completely" is a plea for the other person to hang on, to not give up hope, even in the face of what may seem like insurmountable odds. The bridge speaks to the idea of sacrifice and what we are willing to give up for love. "And for the thing we take, we must give something, and our hearts will have to break before we feel something, feel something. All I destroy, begins to mean something, without you, without the trust, without us." The singer acknowledges that it's not easy, and that heartbreak is a necessary part of the process, but they are willing to risk it all for the person they love.
The song is a beautiful reminder that love is worth fighting for, even when it's difficult. It's also a testament to the power of music to connect us to our emotions and help us process difficult feelings.

Our love has a rhythm and a melody that cannot be replicated
When we touch when you feel when see what I could be
Our physical and emotional intimacy helps us realize our true potential
And for thing we take
There is always a price to pay
We must give something
We have to sacrifice something in return
And our hearts will have to break
It will hurt but we have to let go of some things for the greater good
Before we feel something feel something
We have to go through pain and loss to truly appreciate what we have
All I destroy
All the damage I have caused
Begins to mean something
I start to realize the gravity of my actions
Without you without the trust
I cannot do this alone and without your faith in me
With out us
We need each other to make this work
