Don't
laments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you could never know.. and it's just stupid anyway
c happy kind of sad is the hardest thing to take
(cnd make go away)
Your kinds words touch me like a wooden stake
But you could never know, you don't know me anyway
Just try to stop this soon, ‘cause it's wearing on my brain
cnd I am not the hero that has come to make things right
‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me
I'm trying everyday to walk the straight and narrow path
But I don't have the love you need to bandage up your past
‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me
No nothin' don't know me
I try to support you almost everyday
But in my head I'm thinking that you best stay out the way
What are true friends for, if we don't have someone to hate
(cnd make go away)
I'm calling for a truce, and I'll wave the white flag
If you raise your's first, then we've got a deal that's that
How can we be acting so scared and out of tact?
I can't be the hand you hold that takes you through the night
cnd I am not the hero that has come to make things right
‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me
I'm trying everyday to walk the straight and narrow path
But I don't have the love you need to bandage up your past
‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me
No nothin' don't know me
What do you want from me today?
I just don't have a lot to say
I can't be the hand you hold that takes you through the night
cnd I am not the hero that has come to make things right
‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me
I'm trying everyday to walk the straight and narrow path
But I don't have the love you need to bandage up your past
‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me
No nothin' don't know me
In the first verse of "Don't," the singer is expressing how hurtful words and actions from someone close to them are affecting them deeply. The metaphor of thorns piercing their side signifies the pain and lasting impact of these hurtful occurrences. The singer feels misunderstood and unseen by the other person, emphasizing the frustration and futility of trying to make them understand. The conflicting emotions of feeling a mixture of happiness and sadness from the relationship make it difficult for the singer to cope, leading to a plea for the situation to be resolved as it is taking a toll on their mental well-being.
The second verse delves into the singer's self-awareness of their limitations and inability to fulfill the role of a savior for the other person. Despite their efforts to walk a righteous path and offer support, they acknowledge their own shortcomings and lack of the necessary love to heal the other person's wounds. The repeated refrain of "‘Cause I don't know nothin' and nothin' don't know me" underscores the sense of disconnect and inadequacy the singer feels in the relationship, highlighting a deep sense of introspection and acceptance of their limitations.
The third verse delves into the complexities of friendship and conflict, with the singer acknowledging their own inner turmoil and conflicting emotions towards the other person. Despite the tension and animosity, there is a desire for peace and resolution, symbolized by the imagery of waving a white flag and calling for a truce. The realization of the fear and lack of communication in the relationship prompts a reflection on the need for understanding and reconciliation, even in the face of unresolved issues.
The final chorus brings forth a sense of resignation and resignation in the singer's tone, as they come to terms with the fact that they cannot fulfill the other person's expectations or provide the love needed to heal their past. The repeated refrain of "No nothin' don't know me" echoes the theme of feeling unseen and unknown in the relationship, emphasizing a sense of isolation and emotional distance. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and acceptance of their limitations, highlighting the complexities and struggles inherent in relationships where understanding and connection seem elusive.

@@martir851 Best poet in the world is like
"hey can I have my wife back for a lil bit? Eternity is long and I like love her or some shit"
Literally everybody in the underworld is like : "damn dawg that's a fantastic argument sure!"
Small caviat. She can come back out of death back into the real of the living if you do one thing. Just like walk all the way back out. She's gonna follow you the whole time. Just walk out and you'll have her back"
If you trust, she gon be there. If you falter and check she gone forever.
He walks 99% of the way out
And then is like...
But like... Is she there?
Yep.
But also game over.
You looked.
Goodbye forever.
@martir851
Hear, o gods, my desperate plea
To see my love beside me
Sunk below the mortal sea
Her anchor weighs upon me
Fasten her tether unto me
That she may rise to sail free
Don’t look back
Close enough that light we can see
My doubt betrays the better of me
A glance to the stern is all it would b
That anguished shade shall haunt me
Ever on
Calm
Seas
Winds a-lee
But now the squall’s upon us
We’re foundering
Drowning
Don’t look back

Orpheus: hear, o gods, my desperate plea, to see my love beside me
Achilles, sobbing: cheers lad I'll drink to that
@liannader9232
BAHAHAHH
@zainykiwi
So, that's actually a really fun question to ask, are we joining Achilles for a drink or Orpheus for one?
@vilheimtheunsinkable9646
@@zainykiwi Both, together. Bust open the ambrosia.
@jchea1764
Count one on me too , dear Orpheus , and Great Achilles .. 🍻
@destinyblade1167
I think Orpheus would be 'older' than Achilles actually. Achilles father and Orpheus were together on the Argonautica(aka a comic book crossover event for greek myths) and Achilles died very young.
