Don't Go
Foreign Slippers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never thought you'd really die,
Never let you wilt and dry
Who's gonna keep the story true
To all who never knew you
And even though I watched you leave,
It caught me unaware
But I am nothing and I'm no one
My wishes are never fair

Don't go just yet
It's not morning yet
Don't go just yet,
There's never enough time

Once you're gone, you're gone for good
There's nothing I can do
But it cuts it hurts it burns it breaks
This house still smells of you

Don't go just yet
It's not morning yet
Don't go just yet,
There's never enough time

And who hurts
And who'd do this
This must be, this must be,
This must be somebody's fault

Don't go just yet
It's not morning yet
Don't go just yet,




There's never enough time
There's never enough time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Don’t Go” by Foreign Slippers is a heart-touching tribute to someone who has passed away. The song deals with the feelings of loss, regret, and helplessness that arise after a loved one’s death. The opening lines, “Never thought you'd really die, Never let you wilt and dry”, establishes the theme of the song. The singer laments the fact that he never imagined the person he cared for deeply would leave him so soon. The next line, “Who's gonna keep the story true/ To all who never knew you”, suggests that the person who passed away was someone who had a significant impact on people's lives.


The singer is grieving the loss and is trying to come to terms with the fact that the person is no longer with him. He talks about how it caught him unaware when the person left him, and even though he watched the person leave, it still didn't prepare him for this moment. He feels helpless and insignificant in the wake of death, and his wishes and desires are irrelevant. The lines, “But I am nothing and I'm no one/ My wishes are never fair”, show how insignificant we become when confronted with the reality of death.


The chorus repeats the idea of not wanting the person to leave yet. The singer begs the person not to go because there's never enough time. The closing lines, “There's never enough time”, bring home the point that we never have enough time with the people we love. The pain of losing someone never really goes away.


Line by Line Meaning

Never thought you'd really die,
I never anticipated your death


Never let you wilt and dry
I vow to always keep your memory alive


Who's gonna keep the story true
Who will remember and share your true story?


To all who never knew you
For those who never had the chance to meet you


And even though I watched you leave,
Although I was present for your departure


It caught me unaware
I was not prepared for the pain of loss


But I am nothing and I'm no one
I feel insignificant and powerless in this situation


My wishes are never fair
The things I desire never seem to align with reality


Don't go just yet
Please don't leave yet


It's not morning yet
It's not time for a new beginning


There's never enough time
The time we have with loved ones is never sufficient


Once you're gone, you're gone for good
Once you pass away, there is no coming back


There's nothing I can do
I am powerless to change the situation


But it cuts it hurts it burns it breaks
The pain of losing you is deep and excruciating


This house still smells of you
I sense your presence here, as if you are still with me


And who hurts
Who caused this pain and suffering?


And who'd do this
Who would cause someone's death?


This must be, this must be,
There must be a reason for this


This must be somebody's fault
Someone must be responsible for what happened
