The Phoenix specialize in full on bombastic free spirited rock music which pays no attention to rules. They strive to incorporate intellectual depth into their music while having kick ass guitar solos and riffage in addition to multi layered harmonies and grandiose arrangements. But they are not just simply limited to this. They also dare to explore other terrains of music in their quest to break down boundaries. They are first and foremost a band that focuses on the music.
Don't
The Phoenix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't fed the animals
Don't let them run in circles
Don't be told
It just don't matter
It just don't matter
If you're more than ready, run away
From dusk to dawn
Last night on the couch you're livin'
It's a poor complaint
It's the only thing
You're sad and underweight
Whatever, we're so close to serious
Whatever promise you made
I have no problem to say no
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
I'll never know
Don't
It's just another
It's just another complicated case
To settle down the road
Whatever we're too close to serious
Whatever promise you made
From dusk to dawn
Don't swear that it is your fault
You're sophisticated
I saw the chandelier
I'm folding under stress
Whatever we're too close to serious
Whatever comments you make
I hear them rattle to say no
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
I'll never know
Don't
The lyrics to The Phoenix's song "Don't" are a warning to the listener to not get involved in certain situations or with certain people.

The phrase "Don't be told, it just don't matter" emphasizes the idea that sometimes it's better to ignore what others say or think and focus on your own wellbeing.
The verses also touch on themes of sadness and feeling trapped. The line "Last night on the couch you're livin', it's a poor complaint" speaks to a sense of hopelessness and feeling stuck in an unsatisfying situation. The phrase "I'll never know you, restrained, reach out for me" suggests a desire for connection and empathy, yet feeling unable to fully understand or express one's own emotions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Don't" encourage the listener to prioritize their own mental and emotional health, and to avoid getting sucked into negative situations or relationships.

Just don't bother
Don't fed the animals
Don't let them run in circles
Don't be told

If you're more than ready, run away
From dusk to dawn
Last night on the couch you're livid
It's a poor complaint
It's the only thing
You're sad and underweight
Whatever, we're so close to "serious"
Whatever promise you made
I have no problem to say "no"
[Chorus]
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
I'll never know you if you don't
It's just another
It's just another complicated case
To settle down the road
Whatever we're too close to "serious"
Whatever promise you made
From dusk to dawn
