DND Lyrics

DND
Now they'll leave us alone
DND
Now you turn off the phone

How like you
To make the whole world disappear, and
How like you
To make everything seem so clear, and
How like you
To make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door

DND
Hang the sign on the door
DND
Don't disturb us no more

How like you
To make your love my hideaway, and
How like you
To make my troubles slide away, and
How like you
To make me want to play forever
Here behind your door

Minute I got some space and time
I wanted to get me back in the crowd
Minute I got some peace you found me
Trying to make my way to the loud
(What a clown...)

DND
Leave the hotel at noon
DND
Will I see you soon?

How like you
To make the whole world disappear, and
How like you
To make everything seem so clear, and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door

DND
DND
DND

Now they'll leave us alone...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

DND...do not disturb, like the sign you'd hang on a door in a hotel, the song is about finding that person who can take you somewhere else when it's just the two of you

def. not dungeons and dragons. beautiful beautiful song. from the lines, "leave the hotel at noon/will i see you soon", i interpret it as two trying to hide their relationship from friends/family, two trying to hide their affair, or lovers who are pretending to be strangers or one-night-stands to reignite the flames.

"DND Hang the sign on the door DND Don't disturb us no more"

can it be any more obvious!

Whoever she is (secret lover, hooker, one-night stand) he knows that once it is over he has to go back to reality again.

just to elaborate more, its that special influence a significant other has on you, and takes you to a diffrent place, in your own little world, no matter if you are in a crowd or together

Obviously, DND stands for Do Not Disturb, but it is pretty funny in the context of Dungeons and Dragons.

"How like you to make me want to play forever..."
