Not Giving In
Tom Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you can tell me where this goes
I know it's hard for you
You've got scars beneath your clothes
You didn't do this on your own
As I hold my hand out for you
You're too scared to let me in
When you gave away the love he gave you
You don't want a soul I save you
I'll never stop, I'm not givin' in (no, no, no, no, no)
'Cause I'll climb the walls that slowly cage you
Break the chains that you can't break through
I'll never stop, I'm not givin' in
I'm not givin' in
I'm not givin' in
I don't pretend to understand
What it's like, stood in your shoes
But I would try them on for you
'Cause I hate to see you fade away
On the corner where you lay
Beggin' passers by for change
When the daylight breaks before you
You're too scared to let it in
And we end where we begin
When you gave away the love he gave you
You don't want a soul I save you
I'll never stop, I'm not givin' in (no, no, no, no, no)
'Cause I'll climb the walls that slowly cage you
Break the chains that you can't break through
I'll never stop, I'm not givin' in
Not givin' in (not givin' in)
Honestly promise me, tell me the truth
You don't have to do what they're askin' of you
Get out of this place, don't give them your grace, my dear
And no, no
Don't let them treat you like one of their slaves
Promise you love just to steal it away
No, don't take that plane
Don't fall for this game, my dear
'Cause you gave away the love he gave you
You don't want a soul I save you
I'll never stop, I'm not givin' in (no, no, no, no, no)
'Cause I'll climb the walls that slowly cage you
Break the chains that you can't break through
I'll never stop, I'm not givin' in
Not givin' in, not givin' in
In Tom Walker's song "Not Giving In," he appears to be comforting someone who is struggling with their own self-doubt and emotional pain. The first verse describes the difficulty the person is facing, and suggests that they haven't had an easy time lately. As Walker offers his help and support, the person hesitates: "You're too scared to let me in, and we end where we begin."
The chorus offers a ray of hope, with Walker's repeated assertion that he will never give up on this person. He promises to "climb the walls that slowly cage you, break the chains that you can't break through," even though he's aware how hard it is for them to trust another person again. As the song progresses, Walker addresses the tenderness with which this person is being treated, and how it is all pretentious to lure the person into a trap. Towards the end, Walker reassures that he won't let the person live a life where she's tied down to the expectations and needs of others.

Take my hand, we can find a place no one knows
Let me help you escape to a place nobody knows
And you can tell me where this goes
You can guide us to where you want to go
I know it's hard for you
I understand that you are going through a difficult time
You've got scars beneath your clothes
You have emotional wounds that you hide beneath the surface
You didn't do this on your own
You didn't bring this upon yourself, it's not your fault
As I hold my hand out for you
I am offering you my support
You're too scared to let me in
You are hesitant to trust me
And we end where we begin
We end up back where we started
When you gave away the love he gave you
You lost the love someone gave you
You don't want a soul I save you
You don't want anyone to save you
I'll climb the walls that slowly cage you
I will break down the barriers that are holding you back
Break the chains that you can't break through
I will help you free yourself from the chains that bind you
I'm not givin' in
I will not give up on you
I don't pretend to understand
I don't claim to fully comprehend your situation
What it's like, stood in your shoes
What it's like to be in your position
But I would try them on for you
I am willing to put myself in your shoes
'Cause I hate to see you fade away
I hate to see you deteriorate
On the corner where you lay
On the street corner where you sit
Beggin' passers by for change
Begging strangers for money
When the daylight breaks before you
When a new day begins for you
And we end where we begin
We continue to be stuck in the same place
Honestly promise me, tell me the truth
Be honest with me, tell me the truth
You don't have to do what they're askin' of you
You don't have to do what they demand of you
Get out of this place, don't give them your grace, my dear
Leave this place, don't give them your kindness
And no, no
Don't do it
Don't let them treat you like one of their slaves
Don't allow them to treat you like a servant
Promise you love just to steal it away
Promise to love you and then take it away
No, don't take that plane
Don't get on that plane
Don't fall for this game, my dear
Don't be fooled by their schemes
Not givin' in
I refuse to give up
