Don't Dwell Lyrics

Every time I get near your field of gravity
You look so sad to me tell how could that be?
Ah- ah she said things I obsess
I would never confess

Ah- ah I told her don’t dwell
That will leave you in hell

Sometimes things that you’re scorned for
You should be adored for
But like I told her don’t dwell

I know my love that I look dilapidated
But are you glad I made it
Can you tell me that much
Ah-ah why are you surprised
I don’t take my advice

Ah-ah she told me don’t dwell
That will leave you in hell

Sometimes I need reminding
Regret is so blinding
But like I told me don’t dwell

Everything is a choice
Go ahead raise your voice
Might as well forgive your self
That means more than someone else
Set you free break the shell
To your demons farewell
(Ooh na na na na) I tell you don’t dwell

this song basically is another way of 311 saying what they usually do-->"fuck the naysayers!!!"....leave the critics behind, dont wait for apologees, and leave the drama behind

I think this song means just what the title implies. Don't dwell on past experiences. What's done is done, move on and enjoy your life. You need to forgive yourself for the mistakes you've made.

this song is pop at its finest. simple, catchy, and has a good message behind it. i like it alot. if it wasnt for the love song, this would have probably been the 3rd single off evolver.

This song is about not feeling guilty about what you could have or should have done. Especially with a lost loved one. If you lost someone that passed away, they know how you really feel about them even if you had a recent fight. Dont Dwell.

it's not that hard to understand. this song means exactly what it says. "don't dwell" meaning, lagging around in your past experiences, good or bad, doesn't get you anywhere in life. just go with it and don't let anyone affect how you feel about you or what/who you care about. only you need to appreciate you and you don't need anyone else's consent. if you can't do that, you're in for a miserable ride, "that will leave you in hell". how can that be your favorite song if you don't know what it means?
