Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say, donβt look down, donβt look down.
Hey, I can hear you preaching
Say donβt leave me fall, fall.
The opening lines of OneRepublicβs song βDonβ refers to the voices that lead us and the concerns that weigh us down. The first two lines of the song suggest that there are people around us who try to control us and tell us what to do. This could include anyone from authority figures to family members or friends. The advice to βdonβt look downβ could be interpreted as a warning not to let these voices get you down or make you feel small. Instead, it encourages the listener to hold their head up high and to have confidence in themselves.
The second half of the first stanza expands on the idea of being weighed down by the pressures of others. The word βpreachingβ implies that the singer is trying to persuade someone to do or believe something. This could be a metaphor for the pressure people often feel to live up to certain expectations or achieve certain goals. The phrase βdonβt leave me fallβ suggests that the person being preached to does not want to fail, but is unsure of how to stay on the right path. Itβs a plea for help and support, asking for someone to stand by and catch them if they stumble.
Overall, the opening lines of βDonβ are a reminder that we are all constantly influenced by the voices around us, and that it can be tough to navigate our own path in the face of so much pressure. The song encourages us to stay strong and to seek out support when we need it.

I absolutely adore this song, it gives me the chills, and I remember them opening with it live and all the lights were down and it was the most intense and beautiful atmosphere ever, you couldn't see them or anyone else, and all you could hear was this. Incredible!

What some people aren't realizing is how this song transitions straight from Preacher and ends the basic album, but is used as a transitional song for the rest of the album. Think of it as a continuation of Preacher.Β
Also, not all songs HAVE to be long. There is power is short pieces as well.

OneRepublic never disappoints<3

What I would do for this song to be full length! One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and when it's over I'm still wanting more!

β€ Beautiful β€. I wish they made a longer version. Too good to be too short.
