Don't Tell
Mansions On The Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What places did we go and see?
Cause I can't remember shit
Cause I can't remember, see?
What did you say to me?
I'm never gonna tell anyone
I'm never gonna tell anyone
Was a whirlwind
What places did we go again?
Cause I can't remember shit
Cause I can't remember, see?
What did you say to me?
I'm never gonna tell anyone
I'm never gonna tell anyone
I'm never gonna tell anyone
And they don't have to know, no no
I'm never gonna tell anyone
And they don't have to know
Oh she keeps on driving me home
And they both never know
We say we woke up alone
Oh no one knows where we go
and they don't have to know, no
I'm never gonna tell anyone
And they don't have to know, no
I'm never gonna tell anyone
And they don't have to know, no
I'm never gonna tell anyone
And they don't have to know, no
I'm never gonna tell anyone
And they don't have to know
The lyrics to Mansions On The Moon's "Don't Tell" revolve around a relationship that seems to be hidden from the world. The singer talks about not remembering what they had said or where they had gone with their partner. They promise to keep the relationship a secret and not reveal it to anyone. The lyrics also suggest that the relationship is like a whirlwind and they both woke up alone without anyone knowing where they went.
The theme of secrecy in the song suggests that the relationship may be taboo or frowned upon by society. It could also indicate that the couple wants to maintain their privacy and not let the world intrude on their happiness. The ambiguity in the lyrics leaves the interpretation to the listener and allows them to apply it to their own experiences.
Overall, "Don't Tell" is a bittersweet song about a love that must remain hidden, adding a layer of melancholy to the upbeat melody.
