Don't You
Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He sees you, do you love him like he does?
He knows you, you don't know him quite as much
Don't look behind you, but don't you worry too
You don't know what I'd do to be right beside you
It almost feels real, watching behind closed doors and steel
God gave us windows to touch and smooth
Cause in my mind the cold glass feels just like you
Don't look behind you, but don't you worry too
You don't know what I'd do to be right beside you





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sophie's song "Don't You" express a sense of personal liberation and independence from someone who has held the singer back. The opening lines of the song, "I'm going away, as far as I possibly can, and you won't find me, you will never ever know how well and good I am," suggest that the singer is leaving behind someone who has had a negative impact on her life. This person has defined her in some way or has made her feel like she needs them in order to thrive.


However, the chorus of the song reveals that the singer has come to realize that she doesn't need this person after all. She doesn't need them to watch her fall, make her feel like a lonely kid, or save her soul. The singer has come to realize that there are people in the world who can help and love her without using or abusing her. This sense of personal agency and self-reliance is reinforced throughout the song, as the singer asserts her own autonomy and independence.


The final verse of the song brings up some of the pain and hurt that this person has caused the singer. It's her birthday, and instead of well wishes, all she gets is a letter from this person asking for rent money. The singer reaches out to this person, but they turn their "cool blue mind away." This verse emphasizes the emotional toll that this relationship has had on the singer, but also reinforces her newfound sense of independence and self-reliance.

Feel the passion now


In the garden of my heart,

I see my lonely moon

The flower's love is blooming in

this night of passion



Deep inside into my mind

a dream of you so kind

A flavour full of special love and soul



Honey Babe

Love is forever! sweet sensation

You make me crazy with your passion

Don't forget my love (Don't forget my love)

Everlasting heart and soul



Don't you forget about my love

Please don't forget my passion babe

Don't you forget about my love

Take all my life and soul, oh baby

That intro with the piano is just brilliant.

@Elias_Harrison

sounds a bit off from a piano though

@longfang8117

@Elias HarrisonIf you didn't know: the traditional instrument for eurobeats is the synthesizer. That's why it has that nice sound.
