Don’t Lose Sight

Meaningful Music Series - Post 4

This song helps keep me hopeful about getting through all of the tough times even when society and life is trying its best to keep me down.

Lawrence’s Don’t Lose Sight is more than just a catchy, upbeat anthem—it’s a reminder to hold on to your vision, your values, and your sense of self, even when everything around you feels like it's working against you. The driving horns, the electric energy, and the raw vocals all come together to form a song that feels like a pep talk from a friend who really gets it.

What I love most about this song is how it acknowledges the struggle without letting it win. The lyrics don’t pretend things are easy; they actually speak directly to the frustration of trying to “make it” in a world that often feels like it’s built to break you. But instead of spiraling into despair, Don't Lose Sight pushes back with defiance and determination. It says, You’re not crazy. This is hard. But you’re still here. Keep going.

For me, it’s become a go-to track when I need motivation—not the kind that ignores the pain, but the kind that stares it down and says, I’m not giving up. Whether I’m overwhelmed by responsibilities, discouraged by the state of the world, or just stuck in my own head, this song reminds me that my dreams and voice still matter. That I matter.

It’s not just a song—it’s a statement. A promise to myself that I won’t let the noise drown me out. I’ll keep showing up, keep speaking out, and keep moving forward.

So if you’re feeling stuck, overlooked, or on the verge of giving up—put this track on. Let it be the spark that reignites your fire. And whatever you do, don’t lose sight.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Are you kidding me
I'm getting sick of the industry
I've had enough of the make-believe
Oh please, oh please
Am I lost or found
I'm getting sick of the ups and downs
No need to give me the run around
I'm out, I'm out

Chorus:
This shit's gonna kill me, But I won't let it
And I try to give 'em hell, But they don't get it
So I tell myself when I sleep at night, Don't lose sight
Baby don't lose sight, And they try to give me up
But I won't give in, And this life will get you down
But I keep living, So I tell myself when I sleep at night
Don't lose sight, Baby don't lose sight
Don't lose sight, Baby don't lose sight

Verse 2:
Are you kidding me
I'm getting sick of the in between
Running in place isn't interesting
To me, to me
Am I good enough?
Does that even matter, or is it luck?
I'm checking the prices on giving up
Now what, now what

Chorus:
This shit's gonna kill me, But I won't let it
And I try to give 'em hell, But they don't get it
So I tell myself when I sleep at night, Don't lose sight
Baby don't lose sight, And they try to give me up
But I won't give in, And this life will get you down
But I keep living, So I tell myself when I sleep at night
Don't lose sight, Baby don't lose sight
Don't lose sight, Baby don't lose sight
Don't lose sight, Baby don't lose sight

Bridge:
And this shit ain't ever gonna change
It ain't ever gonna change
It ain't ever gonna change
And this shit ain't ever gonna change
It ain't ever gonna change
It ain't ever gonna change
(This shit's gonna kill me, but I won't let it)
This shit ain't ever gonna change
(This shit's gonna kill me, but I won't let it)
It ain't ever gonna change
So I tell myself when I sleep at night

Chorus:
This shit's gonna kill me, But I won't let it
And I try to give 'em hell, But they don't get it
So I tell myself when I sleep at night, Don't lose sight
Baby don't lose sight, And they try to give me up
But I won't give in, And this life will get you down
But I keep living, So I tell myself when I sleep at night
Don't lose sight, Baby don't lose sight
