Don't Go
M.C.-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They go to war, fight for their land,
Come back dead, and that’s really the end
...cause the country doesn’t give a shit
about the lives that were lost for it!
Don’t go out fighting for your country!
The land is one, it was made for us all!
Until we learn to share we’ll continue to fall!
For crying out loud man! Can’t you see?!
The lines are invisible boundaries!
Don’t go out fighting for your country!
Cause you’ll be dying for nothing!
The land you conquer will make them rich,
And if you’re really lucky, you’ll just get a stitch...
Maybe a medal, and bad memories
Of shooting old women and little kids!
Don’t go out fighting for your country!
Cause you’ll be dying for nothing!
Why don’t you ask the president
About his children and why they weren’t sent?
...and if he could be a least sincere,
he would probably say to you, “My Dear...
Don’t go out fighting for your country!
Cause you’ll be dying for nothing!”
The song "Don't Go" by M.C.-K is a protest song that emphasizes the futility and senselessness of fighting for one's country. The artist emphasizes that wars, fought in the name of the nation, often result in the loss of lives and destruction, which are ignored by the country's leaders. M.C.-K argues that lines drawn on maps, which create borders separating countries, are only imaginary and do not justify the suffering and misery that are inflicted on ordinary people fighting wars.
The song's lyrics offer an insightful critique of the notion of nationalism, as it calls upon listeners to question the idea that dying for one's country is heroic. The message of the song is that fighting wars is a selfish enterprise of politicians and the nation's wealthy elite, who use the soldiers' patriotism to their advantage. The song makes an emotional appeal to its listeners, urging them to speak up against the injustice of wars and demand peace.
Overall, the song "Don't Go" is a powerful anti-war anthem that underscores the devastating impact of fighting wars for one's country. The lyrics question the morality of sacrificing human lives for nationalistic ideals and asks people to consider the inherent selfishness of war. In this way, the song reminds us that the price of nationalism is often too high and that peace is the only way to preserve human life and dignity.

@sm-lb5xm
I can only imagine the hurt gay people go through when they face onesided love. Like, it sucks every time for everyone. But being gay and knowing, there's a fat chance that your love interest is not gay...
I don't know. This song makes me sad.
