Please Don't Go
Wolf and Willow Lyrics

The song, Please Don't Go by Wolf and Willow, delves into the desperation and fear of losing someone or something precious. The opening line, "Please don't tell me that I've got charisma, oh when all my money has gone," suggests that the singer is afraid that their lover might leave them once their financial status deteriorates. The use of the word 'charisma' indicates that the singer might have relied on their charm and appearance to keep the relationship going, but now they are unsure if that would be enough. The line could also suggest the singer's low self-esteem, which further increases their insecurity about the potential loss.

The second verse, "Bring me to my crooked knees but hold my hand so you can't leave" highlights the singer's vulnerability and their desire for reassurance and support. They are willing to be vulnerable and exposed if it means that their relationship can survive. The line, "Look away, love, just don't look down," could mean that the singer is ashamed of their current state and doesn't want their lover to see them at their weakest. The line, "I am a thief watching my neighbour be a thief by nurture" could suggest that the singer thinks that their actions or financial status caused them to become a burden on their lover. The use of 'thief' implies that the singer feels guilty about the situation, and the words 'by nurture' suggest that the situation might be out of their control.

The chorus, "I'll never stop, can't push this feeling, not all is said and done, I'll never stop, forever feeding, you're my aqualung" reinforces the singer's determination and desperation to hold onto their partner. The use of the word 'aqualung' is interesting as it is normally associated with scuba diving and breathing underwater. It could indicate that the singer feels like they are drowning without their lover and their support, and they need them to stay afloat.
