Don't Go
Wumpscut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell me you would die for my reality
Don't tell me you would live in wild insanity

I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go don't go

I tell you I would like to see you here with me
But I know we could not live within harmony




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wumpscut's song Don't Go seem to be exploring the theme of the complexity of relationships and the struggle to maintain balance within them. The first two lines are an appeal to someone not to make extreme claims on behalf of their devotion to the singer. The lines suggest a certain distrust within the relationship and possibly an uneven power dynamic where the other person might be willing to do more than the singer is comfortable with. The repetition of the phrase "don't go" in the following line suggests that the singer may be fearful of abandonment or may be trying to convince the other person to stay despite their reservations.


The next lines reveal that the singer has conflicting feelings about the relationship. They express a desire to have the other person present with them but admit that they will never be able to live in harmony. It could be that the singer is acknowledging that their differences are simply too great or that they are unwilling to compromise in order to make the relationship work. The overall message of the song seems to be a yearning for connection but an awareness that certain realities may make that impossible.
