Don't Go Away
The Hotknives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The room 's spinning around and I'm thinking about cha.
I wish I was dead.
You left me today
You said to find your own way
And when the truth really hits you
Will you be there to hear me say
Don't go away
Don'tcha go away
Don'tcha go away from me.
You're everything, you're everything, everything a girl should be.
Don't go away
Don'tcha go away
Don'tcha go away from me.
You're everything, you're everything, everything a girl should be.
I never knew why
You started to cry.
Never ever told me that sadness inside you
You just lived a lie.
You left me today
To find your own way
And when the truth really hits you
Will you be there, to hear me say
The Hotknives's song "Don't Go Away" is a story of heartbreak, loss, and regret. The lyrics describe the feelings of a person who has just been left by their loved one, and they are struggling to come to terms with the emotions that come along with it. The singer is lying in bed, wrapped up in their thoughts, and feeling overwhelmed by the situation. They wish they were dead, which is a strong indicator of how much the person meant to them.
The chorus of the song is a plea to their loved one not to leave them. They are everything that a girl should be, and the singer is afraid that they will lose them forever. The line "you said to find your own way" implies that the person leaving has decided to move on to find their own path. The singer is left to deal with their own feelings and emotions, not knowing if their partner will ever return. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and loss, making it an emotionally charged song.
In summary, "Don't Go Away" is a powerful song that captures the raw emotions of heartbreak and loss. The lyrics are beautifully written and deliver a clear message that will resonate with anyone who has ever lost someone they loved.
