Don't look back
Telepopmusic feat Angela McCluskey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's behind the other door
No more silence, don't kill this thing we got called love
Just searching for the perfect drug
When Love comes calling
Don't look back
When love comes calling
And I'm standing over here
Watching you over there
Smiling, happy, unaware
Oh, life is spinning round
You're going underground, forgetting who we were
Let's try and keep it just one more day
You take your love
And throw it all around
Like it's nothing special
Just a sound
Let me say one more thing
I don't think you realize
That a day is like a year sometime
The song "Don't Look Back" by Telepopmusik, featuring Angela McCluskey, is a contemplative and melancholic piece, addressing the fragility of relationships and emotions. The opening lines "Sit still, and close your eyes, what's behind the other door" creates a sense of mystery and curiosity, urging the listener to take a momentary pause from the present and explore what lies beyond. The following lines "No more silence, don't kill this thing we got called love, just searching for the perfect drug" suggest that love is a potent force that requires constant search and sustenance. The idea of searching for the perfect drug could be seen as an analogy to the pursuit of something that brings us immense joy and fulfilment, but is equally prone to addiction, dependence or exploitation.
In the chorus, the lyrics "When Love comes calling, don't look back, when love comes calling, don't look away" emphasize the importance of seizing opportunities for love and not letting them pass by. The singer emphasizes the significance of love and urges the listener to not let it slip away when it comes knocking. In the second verse, the lyrics "You're going underground, forgetting who we were, let's try and keep it just one more day" capture the sense of emotional disconnection and distance that can sometimes occur in a relationship. As the song progresses, it prompts the listener to internalize and reflect upon the lyrics, the music and the underlying emotions that it invokes.

Oh, no more silence, don't kill this thing we got called love
Just searching for the perfect drug
When Love comes calling
Don't look back
When love comes calling
Don't look away (x2)
And I'm standing over here
Watching you over there
Smiling, happy, unaware
Oh, life is spinning round
You're going underground, forgetting who we were
Let's try and keep it just one more day
