Veronica Falls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't go on without you
Please don't leave me
I can't get home without you
I can't go on feeling you sadly
I can't go on if you won't come with me
I can't get along without you
Please believe me
I can't go home without you
Nobody needs to know what we know
Nobody needs to go where we go
Nobody needs to know
Please believe me
Nobody needs to know what we know
Nobody needs to go where we go
I can't go on my own
Please believe me
Say you'll never leave me
Please believe me
The lyrics to Veronica Falls’ “Daniel” tell the story of one person’s desperate plea to another to not leave them. The lines “Please believe me, I can’t go on without you” and “Please don’t leave me, I can’t get home without you” both convey the idea that this person is lost without the other, both physically and emotionally. The repeated phrase “Please believe me” highlights the idea that the other person is unsure or possibly even resistant to staying, and the singer is trying to convince them to stay.
The chorus contains the lines “Nobody needs to know what we know, nobody needs to go where we go”. This could mean a variety of things, but likely refers to a secret or hidden aspect of the relationship between the two people. It could also refer to their shared experiences or memories that they don’t want anyone else to be a part of.
Overall, the lyrics of “Daniel” evoke a sense of desperation and fear of being alone. The singer is reaching out to the other person, begging for them to stay and not leave them to face the world alone.
