“Don’t Go Outside” is the 10th and final track from Poppy’s third studio album, I Disagree. The song begins with themes of apocalypse and isolation from the outside world, serving as a sort of continuation of themes present in the album’s previous track, “Sick of the Sun”.
However, the song’s outro...
[Verse 1]
Now is not the time to go outside
Crawl back into bed and close your eyes
Now is not the time to go outside
Lock the doors and find a place to hide
[Chorus]
The TV says you're out of time
Suck the fear in through your eyes
Everyone is bland and blind
Don't go outside
[Verse 2]
Shut your mouth, give up and fall in line
Listen to the way the children cry
Amphibians are falling from the sky
Now is not the time to go outside
[Chorus]
The TV says you're out of time
Suck the fear in through your eyes
Everyone is bland and blind
Don't go outside
[Bridge]
(Please help me)
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Down, let it all burn down
Burn it to the ground
We'll be safe and sound
When it all burns down
Let it all burn down
Burn it to the ground
We'll be safe and sound
Down, let it all burn down
Burn it to the ground
(You can be anyone you want to be)
Down, let it all burn down
Burn it to the ground
(You can be anyone you want to be)
Down, let it all burn down
(Bury me six feet deep and just cover me in concrete, please)
Burn it to the ground
(You can be anyone you want to be)
Down, let it all burn down
(Bury me six feet deep and just cover me in concrete, please)
Burn it to the ground
(You can be anyone you want to be)
Don’t Go Outside was written by Poppy & Zakk Cervini & Chris Greatti & Titanic Sinclair.
Don’t Go Outside was produced by Zakk Cervini & Chris Greatti.
Poppy released Don’t Go Outside on Fri Jan 10 2020.
‘Don’t Go Outside’ was written in 2 parts. The acoustic section at the beginning was written a year before we recorded the song as a whole I stumbled up the voice memo on my computer. I got very emotional when I found it again and knew I needed it for the record.
