Please Don't Go
Thomas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You claim you love people so much
Why are so many in tears
So many Broken hearts
And Rekindled Fears

Promises you just can't keep
Speakin' words that God didn't speak
should I be scared?

How will I believe what you're saying is true
If what you say ain't what you do
I believed oh I believed in you
People starving just outside
You spending money on flashing lights
I'm gonna be real so painfully real with you

It is not about how far you go just to deliver the word
It's about the way it comes out your mouth
How you loved the world

You claim you're the one who helped me find my way
But that's just blind leading blind
You tell me just listen and obey
Don't bother thinkin' bout what's right

You say you're one big family
But I don't think you ever smiled at me
I'm pretty scared, oh oh

How will I believe what you're saying is true
If what you say ain't what you do
I believed oh I believed in you
People starving just outside
You spending money on flashing lights
I'm gonna be real so painfully real with you

It is not about how far you go just to deliver the word
It's about the way it comes out your mouth
How you loved the world





So many broken hearts and rekindled fears

Overall Meaning

The song "Please Don't Go" by Thomas is a poignant critique of religious leaders, their hypocrisy, and their failure to live up to their promises. The singer in the song questions the sincerity of these religious leaders who claim to love people, yet so many are left in tears, with broken hearts, and rekindled fears. The singer also questions the validity of their promises, noting that these leaders make promises they cannot keep, and speak words that God didn't speak. The singer wonders if they should be scared, as they cannot trust what these leaders say.


Thomas challenges religious leaders’ actions versus their words. He wonders how anyone can believe the things they’re saying if they don’t practice what they preach. More so, Thomas noticed that instead of attending to the starving people outside their doors, these religious leaders spend excessive amounts of money on flashing lights. The lyrics "It's not about how far you go just to deliver the word, it's about the way it comes out your mouth, how you loved the world" highlights the idea that the message is not necessarily wrong, but the manner and intent behind it need to be questioned.

​@@monemusic1428 What is wrong with you? Opinions are not factual.

Cruising Space is not a masterpiece. That is your opinion. Your "facts" (opinion) is laughable.

I too listen to a lot of epic music. And I mean ALOT of epic music. I listen to all sort of artists. When you listen to a lot of epic music, then a lot of them starts to sounds the same. That is where it becomes repetitive or generic.

However I still love Thomas Bergersen for his master pieces. Like for example, Victory, Red Tower, Cannon in D Minor, Amaria, Flight of the Silverbird, Star Sky, Wolf King. These ones are pretty much all in Battle Cry. In the Unleashed album, I love the Unleashed, Run Free, Secret Melody. As for the Dragon album, I love Dragon. There is a bunch more I can list that is all unique and are what I call master pieces. These ones never get old.

Also I love You Are Light as well from him. One of the humanities sounds track is similar to it, which is Crystalize.

There are other great epic music out there that isn't from Thomas Bergersen. Entrophy by Dos Brains, Children of Time by IMAscore, Andrew's Song by IMA score, Warrior Princess by Dos Brains, Final Stand from StormSound, Your World will Fail from Les Friction, I Remember from Les Friction, Fables from Secession Studios, Hell Shall Perish from Efisio Cross, and so forth.

The repeated "I love you" really hit hard. My grandfather died last night, and I've been crying on and off all day. It feels like this came at just the right time.

@emmanuyilpavlioti

Sorry to hear, my father died as well this week, too early to be honest. Stay strong, this is a hard time period, but the time will heal the pain.

@realBlueMoonMusic

I'm so sorry for your guys' losses. Death is rough. More then that, actually. But, just know that you are never alone. Grief only lasts when you don't have a shoulder to cry on.

Thomas described this song as trying to capture the feeling that loss of a loved one is like a black hole - destroying everything in its path.
I think he managed it. That sense of grandeur and power, alongside so much grief and devastation....

@WarlandWriter

I think in these past years we've needed more humanity than ever, so I'm happy to see this album continuing on and on. Thank you Thomas!

@od4407

Yea these last 1000 years have really sucked…

@shellyhaner7503

I'm deeply moved by this piece knowing what it's about. All those hours and weeks I spent with my Mom during her last time on earth was the greatest sorrow of my life and yet one of the most beautifully spiritual experiences I've ever had. It's only been over two years ago so that loss is still new. I love and miss you Mom. This is a touching expression of grief and loss, yet the love we share with our family.
