"Don't Worry, We'll Be Watching You", sebuah lagu yang ditulis dan dibawakan oleh Gotye, menyajikan lirik yang menggugah pikiran tentang pengawasan dan kendali. Lirik lagu ini mengeksplorasi tema-tema ketakutan, manipulasi, dan ketidakpastian yang ditimbulkan ketika seseorang merasa diintai atau dikendalikan oleh kekuatan di luar diri mereka. Dengan pengulangan lirik "Don't worry, we won't hurt you," lagu ini menciptakan rasa tidak nyaman dan keraguan saat narator lagu memberikan janji yang menenangkan namun tidak meyakinkan.
Don't Worry, We'll Be Watching You Lyrics
Gotye
Hey
What's your name?
Don't worry
Don't be afraid
We won't hurt you
Hey
Lost your way?
Don't worry
Just do as we say
And we won't hurt you
It's hard
The world can lead you so astray
It gets harder
It's hard just to keep the faith
Do you need a reminder
Of the love that we gave you?
Don't worry
You're walking away
But we'll always be watching you
(We'll always be watching you)
(We'll always be watching you)
What's your name?
Don't worry
Don't be afraid
We won't hurt you
Hey
Lost your way?
Don't worry
Just do as we say
And we won't hurt you
It's hard
The world can lead you so astray
It gets harder
It's hard just to keep the faith
Do you need a reminder
Of the love that we gave you?
Don't worry
You're walking away
But we'll always be watching you
(We'll always be watching you)
(We'll always be watching you)
