Don
U.S. Marines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whether you like it or not
Darlin, this is what we've got
I made a promise I couldn't keep
But I never went in too deep
I couldn't make you see
It follows me everywhere that I go
I still wake up at three
With a heart full of memory
Tell me something I don't already know
Maybe this is my greatest regret
So you tell me where it begins and where it ends
Or let's just set fire to this right now
Wait til the flames die down
I couldn't make you see
Just what you meant to me
It follows me everywhere that I go
I still wake up at three
With a heart full of memory
Tell me something I don't already know
Something I don't already know
Something I don't already know
The lyrics to U.S. Marines' song "Don" are actually for the song "Something I don't Already Know" by Bow Campbell and Paul Greene. The song talks about a relationship where the singer has made a promise they couldn't keep, but the relationship never went too deep. They regret not being able to show their partner what they really meant to them and wish their partner would tell them something they don't already know. The singer is haunted by memories of the relationship and still wakes up at three in the morning with a "heart full of memory."
The song explores the idea of regret and missed opportunities. The singer wishes they could have shown their partner how much they meant to them before it was too late. They're left with the memories and the hope for something more. The song's melody is somber and reflective, reinforcing the weight of regret and loss. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced a failed relationship and wishes they could have done something differently.

Darlin, this is what we've got
My dear, this is the situation we are in
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I made a commitment that I was unable to fulfill
But I never went in too deep
But I never got too heavily involved
I couldn't make you see
I wasn't able to make you understand
Just what you meant to me
How much you meant to me
It follows me everywhere that I go
It stays with me no matter where I am
I still wake up at three
I still wake up in the middle of the night
With a heart full of memory
With a heart filled with memories
Tell me something I don't already know
Inform me of something new that I am not aware of
Maybe this is my greatest regret
Perhaps this is my biggest disappointment
So you tell me where it begins and where it ends
So you explain to me where it started and where it finished
Or let's just set fire to this right now
Or let's destroy this immediately
Wait til the flames die down
Wait until everything has settled
Something I don't already know
Inform me of something new that I am not already aware of

I remember my marine buddy once standing in the middle of of a cloud of bees, hands on his hips, grinning. I said βwhat the fvck are you doing?β He said, βthey know better than to sting me.β And they didnβt touch him. It was awesome.

I was like that when I went back to college and my frat bros were running from the bees and I was just standing there
@Wryilla
Fun fact - this is because bees can smell your fear, and as long as you're not afraid they'll generally leave you alone
