Please Don't Go
The Æther Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spin me around
Spin me around
Spin me around
Spin me around
Spin me around
Spin me around

Spin me around
Light me up
Sacrifice the sheep
Hail the goat
Hanging by the horns
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go
Spin me around
Light me up
Sacrifice the sheep
Hail the goat
Hanging by the horns
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go

I used to dream of happy endings
But now all I wanna do is end me
They say this idea is only temporary
But the vertigo effect has got my head spinning
In an endless vortex, feeling nauseous
I think I'm bout to throw up again
Got my bucket ready
Should I call an ambulance
No that'd just be silly
I'll just sleep it out
Maybe dehydrated tongue
Experiencing drought
Lips are so chapped
I taste iron in my blood
Seeping out the cracks of my mouth
I spit it out
Guts kicking, heaving's beginning
I can't handle this evening
What is all the meaning
I mean, what I've been meaning to say
Is that, I've been having a really hard time
And at the end of the day
The only ones that listen are the demons
Inside of me and their preaching won't stop
As the blood curdles in my throat
They scream blasphemy and shout

Spin me around
Light me up
Sacrifice the sheep
Hail the goat
Hanging by the horns
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go
Spin me around
Light me up
Sacrifice the sheep
Hail the goat
Hanging by the horns
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go

Spin me around
Light me up
Sacrifice the sheep
Hail the goat
Hanging by the horns
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go
Spin me around
Light me up
Sacrifice the sheep
Hail the goat
Hanging by the horns
Don't let me go, don't don't




Don't let me go, don't don't
Don't let me go

The repetition of the line "Spin me around" throughout the song suggests a desire to escape or be caught up in something, perhaps as a distraction or to numb the pain. It could represent a yearning for a fresh start or a way to break free from negative emotions.


The lines "Light me up" and "Sacrifice the sheep" and "Hail the goat" evoke a dark and unsettling imagery.

The vertigo effect and feeling nauseous convey a sense of inner turmoil and disorientation.
