Don't Let Go
The Sirens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Push and pull
Along your narrow views
It's true you never knew their pain
To you it all just looked the same
Now rage for all your lost prayers and

Don't let this destroy you
My friend you'll see
All is as all should be
Don't let this destroy you again
My friend just breathe
It's about to end

Tear away
The mask you feel inside
It hides all of your lonely cries
Now see the world through reset eyes
And scream for all your lost time but

Don't let this destroy you
My friend you'll see
All is as all should be
Don't let this destroy you again
My friend just breathe
It's about to end

(Close your eyes and count to ten)
(Close your eyes and count to ten)
(Close your eyes and step in hell)
(Close your eyes and count to ten)

Don't let this destroy you
My friend you'll see
All is all should be
Don't let this destroy you again




My friend just breathe
It's about to end

Overall Meaning

The Sirens' song "Don't Let Go" is a raw and emotional piece about finding the strength to move on from pain and loss. The lyrics speak of pushing and pulling, of feeling trapped within narrow views, and never truly understanding the pain of others. The singer addresses a friend who has struggled with this pain and encourages them to let go, to tear away the mask that hides their feelings, and to see the world through "reset eyes." The repeated refrain of "Don't let this destroy you" reinforces the message of hope and the importance of persevering through life's difficulties.


The opening lines of the song are particularly poignant, highlighting the theme of perspective and empathy. The singer acknowledges that the friend in question never knew the pain of others, seeing everything through a narrow lens. This is echoed in the second verse, where the friend is urged to tear away their own mask and see the world anew. The repeated lines towards the end ("Close your eyes and count to ten...step in hell") perhaps suggest that this process of releasing pain and trauma is not easy and may feel overwhelming, but the message remains the same – don't let it destroy you, hold on and keep going.


Interestingly, the band name "The Sirens" may also be a nod to Greek mythology, where the Sirens were beautiful yet dangerous creatures who sang enchanting songs to lure sailors to their deaths. However, in this context, the lyrics suggest that the band are using their voices and music as a way to offer comfort and healing.
