Don't Go
The Vines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking everything I see
Walking on the ground I've been
Waiting for the day to start
Cause somethings got me all alone

Oh no don't go
Throw away undo it play the bass
I know if she'd gone
want to be left on this place now

Take the weight up off your mind
Dreaming for the seventh time
If we wake now we'll believe
Either way it's fun to dream

Oh no don't go
Throw away undo it play the bass




I know but she'd done
Gonna be left on this place now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Vine's song "Don't Go" seem to express a sense of loneliness and longing for a connection with someone. The opening lines, "taking everything I see, walking on the ground I've been, waiting for the day to start" convey a feeling of being stuck in one's own routine and wanting something more. The next line, "cause somethings got me all alone," reinforces this sense of isolation.


The chorus of "Oh no don't go, throw away undo it play the bass" is somewhat cryptic, as the meaning of "undo it play the bass" is not entirely clear. It may be a reference to music or a metaphor for something else entirely. The second part of the chorus, "I know if she'd gone, want to be left on this place now" suggests that the singer is afraid of being left behind or abandoned.


The second verse begins with "take the weight up off your mind, dreaming for the seventh time," which could refer to the idea of escaping from reality and finding solace in one's dreams. The line "if we wake now we'll believe, either way it's fun to dream" highlights the temporary nature of dreams and the idea that they offer a brief respite from the challenges of waking life.


Overall, the lyrics of "Don't Go" suggest a complex mix of emotions, including loneliness, fear of abandonment, and a desire for escape from one's everyday routine. The song seems to capture a universal feeling of yearning for connection and meaning.


Line by Line Meaning

Taking everything I see
Observing everything around me


Walking on the ground I've been
Continuing to live life as usual


Waiting for the day to start
Anticipating something exciting to happen


Cause somethings got me all alone
Feeling isolated due to a particular circumstance


Oh no don't go
Requesting someone not to leave


Throw away undo it play the bass
Letting loose and enjoying oneself


I know if she'd gone
Expressing concern about someone leaving


want to be left on this place now
Feeling lonely without that person's presence


Take the weight up off your mind
Suggesting to release worries and stress


Dreaming for the seventh time
Fantasizing repeatedly


If we wake now we'll believe
Considering the possibility of something being real


Either way it's fun to dream
Acknowledging the enjoyment of the fantasy


Oh no don't go
Reiterating the request not to leave


Throw away undo it play the bass
Further encouraging letting loose and enjoying oneself


I know but she'd done
Admitting that someone has already left


Gonna be left on this place now
Knowing that life will continue without that person's presence

Lyrics: Take in everything I see Walking underground I've been Waiting for the day to stop But something's got me on the wall Oh no! Don't go! Through the world, I'm doin' pretty well And I'd know if she'd gone Want to be left in this space now Taking the weight up off your mind Dreaming for the seventh time If we wake now we'll believe Either way it's fun to dream
