Don't Tell Me
Jaye P. Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hold on to old memories,if only I could somehow
Opening doors,dancing on floors,this is impossible now
I try to explain, they can’t hear what I say
I think I’m loosing it now
So don’t give on me now,I still have some life in me
Don’t take me away,I still have something to sing about
So won’t you sing along with me?
Do you ever feel like you are older but so much older alone
Opening doors,dancing on floors,this is impossible now
When I try to explain you can’t hear what I say
I know I’m loosing it now
So don’t give on me now,I still have some fight in me
Don't take me away,I still have something to sing about
So won’t you sing along with me?
So don’t give on me now,I still have some fight in me
Don’t take me away,I still have something to sing about
So won’t you sing along with me?
So don’t give on me now,I still have some life in me
Don’t lead me away,I still have something to sing about
So won’t you sing along with me?
The lyrics of Jaye P. Morgan's song "Don't Tell Me" convey a sense of despair and a feeling of being lost in life. The singer feels damaged and broken to an extent that seems irreparable, and time seems to be running out for them. The memories of the past hold a certain appeal, but they realize that it is impossible to relive them. The line "Do you ever feel like you are a soldier who can never go home" emphasizes the feeling of being lost and displaced. They are past their prime and feel alone in their struggles.
The chorus is a plea for empathy and support. The singer is asking the listener not to give up on them yet, as they still have some life and fight left in them. They want to be heard and seen, and they believe that they still have something to sing about. They are not ready to be led away, and they hope that the listener will sing along with them.
The song's overall theme is one of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that even when things seem hopeless, there is always a chance for redemption if one keeps fighting. The song inspires listeners to be there for others even when they seem beyond repair and to recognize that everyone has something to sing about.
