Don't look back
R. Strachan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Head up
Arms down
Breathe in
Fall back
Before
You go
Try to
Call back
Sun shine
Your eyes
Please don't
Look back
Don't look back
My mind
Stay filled
My thoughts
One tracked
If I
Lay here
My chest
Turns black
Sun shines
My eyes
I won't
Look back
I won't look back
Feel your touch at night
See your soul in light
God it feels so right
Won't you just stay with me another night
I know you don't wanna go
Times changed I already know
One time we can keep it slow
Won't you just stay with me before I go
I know the rain won't keep falling down
I know the sun will come back around
Take what you need and just go just go
Just go
I know the sky won't come falling down
I know the moon just keeps spinning round
Take what you need and just go just go
Just go
Head up
Arms down
Breathe in
Fall back
Before
You go
Try to
Call back
Sun shine
Your eyes
Please don't
Look back
Don't look back
My mind
Stay filled
My thoughts
One tracked
If I
Lay here
My chest
Turns black
Sun shines
My eyes
I won't




Look back
I won't look back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of R. Strachan's song "Don't Look Back" seem to convey a sense of nostalgia, regretful memories, and a longing to hold onto the fleeting moments. The song starts with instructions to breathe in, let go, and disregard the past. It urges the listener to move on and not look back, even though the mind is filled with memories that are hard to shake off. This line is repeated several times throughout the song, referencing the theme of trying to forget about the past.


The line "feel your touch at night, see your soul in light, God, it feels so right" signifies that he is reminiscing about a lost love and trying to relive the moments he shared with them. He wants to hold onto her, but he knows that he can't make the past repeat itself. The next line "won't you just stay with me before I go" indicates that he knows he has to let go, but he is not ready to do it yet. The song's chorus, "head up, arms down, breathe in, fall back, before you go, try to call back, sun shine your eyes, please don't look back, don't look back," can be interpreted as a cry for help, a plea to hold onto the moments that were once cherished, but are now gone.


The meaning of the song is subjective and can differ for each listener. Some may interpret it as a reflection on the past, an attempt to move forward, or a plea to stay in the present. Regardless of the interpretation, the lyrics express a deep sense of emotion and self-reflection that strums the heartstrings of many listeners.

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
