In this energetic track, The Libertines reflect on the consequences of living recklessly and the struggle to escape one's past. The repeated advice "Don't look back into the sun" suggests that dwelling on past glories or mistakes can be blinding and harmful. The song portrays a character who, despite warnings, continues down a path of self-destruction, unable to break free from the judgment of others. This theme is emphasized by the lines about being unable to be forgiven yet not being let go, highlighting a sense of entrapment in one's former self and actions.
Don't Look Back Into the Sun
Lyrics
Yeah!
Don't look back into the sun
Well, now you know that your time has come
And they all said it would never come for you, la la lo lo
Well, oh, my friend, you haven't changed
You're looking rough and living strange
And I know you got a taste for it, too, la la lo lo
And they'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no
Don't look back into the sun
You've cast your pearls but you're on the run
And all the lies you said, who did you save?
But when they played that song at the Death Disco
It started fast but then ends so slow
And all the time it just reminded me of you
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go (let me go)
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no (let me go)
"Thank you, Glasgow"
"Here we, here we, here we fuckin' go"
