You Go On
Fives Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Don't want to let you go, we just want to tell you
Just want to let you know, that we'll stay around
So what else can you do, you've said all you have to
We're comin' after you, so don't make a sound (don't want to let you go)

I got this feelin' could it be there's someone watchin' over me (me)
Tell me who you are

I close my eyes and count from nine to try and find this peace of mind
But it's gone too far

You see our faces every time you turn your head round
We'll be watchin' even when you turn the lights down
We will always be around no matter where you are

[Chorus]

I'm all alone now in the dark just one chance just so we can talk
That is all I ask
I close my eyes and then I dream I always wake up to a scream
Wonder where you are

Don't you know we're always gonna be around you
And there really isn't anything you can do
We will always be around no matter where you are

[Chorus]

[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fives' song You Go On tell the story of someone who feels like they are being watched or followed by an unknown presence. The song begins with the chorus, which showcases the desire of the singer not to let go of the person they are addressing. They want the person to know that they will always be around, no matter where they go. The second verse talks about the singer's feeling of being watched over by someone, and how they are trying to find peace of mind. However, it seems like the feeling has gone too far and they are struggling to cope. The chorus comes in again, emphasizing the fact that the singer will always be watching over the person they are addressing, no matter what they do.

The third verse is where the story takes a slightly darker turn. The singer is now all alone in the dark and wants just one chance to talk to the person they are addressing. They close their eyes and dream, only to wake up to a scream and wonder where the person they are addressing is. The song ends with the chorus, reiterating that the singer and their presence will always be around the person they are addressing.

Overall, the song takes on a slightly creepy vibe, with the singer coming across as someone who is stalking or watching over the person they are addressing. It could be interpreted in different ways, either as a story of unrequited love, or as a warning to someone who has done something wrong and is being watched by someone who is seeking revenge.

Don't want to let you go, we just want to tell you
We don't want you to leave, we simply want to communicate with you

Just want to let you know, that we'll stay around
We want you to be aware that we will always be present

So what else can you do, you've said all you have to
You've reached the point where there's nothing else left to say

We're comin' after you, so don't make a sound (don't want to let you go)
We're pursuing you relentlessly, and you shouldn't attempt to escape

I got this feelin' could it be there's someone watchin' over me (me)
I have a suspicion that there's a presence nearby, watching me

Tell me who you are
Please clarify your identity

I close my eyes and count from nine to try and find this peace of mind
I attempt to obtain tranquility by counting to nine and meditating

But it's gone too far
My efforts are no longer sufficient, and the situation is beyond my control

You see our faces every time you turn your head round
Our images continually manifest in your periphery

We'll be watchin' even when you turn the lights down
We will observe you, even in the darkness

I'm all alone now in the dark just one chance just so we can talk
Alone in the dark, I desire a solitary chance to converse with you

That is all I ask
These are my sole demands

I close my eyes and then I dream I always wake up to a scream
I dream when I shut my eyes, but am jolted awake by a shriek

Wonder where you are
I ponder your whereabouts

Don't you know we're always gonna be around you
Are you not aware that we will incessantly be in your vicinity?

And there really isn't anything you can do
There's really nothing you can do to thwart our perpetual presence

We will always be around no matter where you are
Our presence will remain ever-constant, regardless of your location

Don't want to let you go, we just want to tell you
We don't desire for you to depart, we only want to impart a message

Just want to let you know, that we'll stay around
We'd like to notify you that we will stay near you

So what else can you do, you've said all you have to
You cannot take any additional action because you've already said everything

We're comin' after you, so don't make a sound (don't want to let you go)
We're in pursuit of you, thus you should avoid making any noise
