Don't Go feat Mike D'organiz
Medhy Custos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got out alive but with scars I can′t forget.
This kid back in school, subdued and shy.
An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes.
I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die,
Took a boy to the forest, slaughtered him with a scythe.
Stamped on his face, an impression in the dirt.
Do you think the silence makes a good man convert?
We all have our horrors and our demons to fight.
But how can I win, when I′m paralyzed?
They crawl up on my bed, wrap their fingers round my throat.
Is this what I get for the choices that I made?
God forgive me, for all my sins. God forgive me, for everything.
God forgive me, for all my sins. God forgive me, God forgive me.
Don't go, I can't do this on my own.
Don′t go, I can′t do this on my own.
Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night.
I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight.
Don′t go.
Don't go.
(LIGHTS)
If I let you in, you′d just want out.
If I tell you the truth, you'd vie for a lie.
If I spilt my guts, it would make a mess we can′t clean up.
If you follow me, you will only get lost.
If you try to get closer, we'll only lose touch.
Yes you already know too much, and you're not going anywhere.
Tell me that you need me because I love you so much.
Tell me that you love me because I need you so much.
Tell me that you need me because I love you so much.
Say you′ll never leave me because I need you so much.
Don′t go, I can't do this on my own.
Don′t go, I can't do this on my own.
Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night.
I can′t live with myself, so stay with me tonight.
Don't go, I can′t do this on my own.
Don't go.
Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night.
I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight.
Don′t go.
(LIGHTS)
Don′t go.
Don't go.
Don′t go.
Don't go.
Don′t go.
Don't go.
Don′t go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don′t go.
Don′t go
The lyrics to Medhy Custos's song "Don't Go" featuring Mike D'organiz touch on the theme of trauma and the struggles of moving past a painful past. The opening lines describe a difficult upbringing in the valley, where shadows and death were prevalent. It's unclear what the singer witnessed, but they emerged from it with emotional scars that are difficult to forget. The song then turns to a story of a boy who was bullied and subsequently killed in a forest with a scythe. The singer questions if that kind of experience and the ensuing silence could make a good man convert to bad.
The second verse speaks of personal demons and the difficulties of fighting them. The singer is paralyzed by them and they even manifest physically as hands around their throat at night. They contemplate whether these struggles are because of choices they've made and ask for God's forgiveness for all their sins. The chorus is a plea for someone to stay with them, to save them from the haunting ones that come at night. They need help and can't do it on their own, begging for the other person not to leave. The final verse expresses the fear of vulnerability and how telling the truth or getting closer could result in being hurt and losing touch. The song ends with a repetition of "Don't go" as if a final plea for someone to stay with them.
