Leave Me Alone
Escaping Memories: This Modern's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
It's in my head at night
Feeling preoccupied with thoughts at night.
Took my only fight
Lost the only battle or conflict that mattered.
These memories, these memories
Reflecting on persistent memories.
Won't leave me alone
Struggling with memories that won't fade away.
What if you had just given me my space
Desire for personal space and independence.
There'd be somebody livin' in my place
Imagining someone else taking their place if given space.
Pretend that I ain't around, I was livin' in the ground
Being ignored or unnoticed, feeling buried.
You'd be out here just diggin' your own grave
Warning that ignoring them may lead to self-destruction.
Trust me you can go do it your own way
Encouraging independence and individual choices.
Everybody gonna move at they own pace
Emphasizing everyone's unique pace in life.
Plenty people let me down, now I see who ain't around
Disappointed by those who let them down.
Maybe I might just need me some more faith
Considering the need for more faith or trust.
Leave me alone
Expressing a desire to be left alone.
It's in my head at night
Reiteration of thoughts intruding at night.
Took my only fight
Reference to a significant battle or struggle.
These memories, these memories
Continued struggle with haunting memories.
Won't leave me alone
Persistently haunted by memories.
If I could I would
Expressing a wish to change life for the better.
Change my life for good
Desire for positive transformation in life.
But these memories
Struggling with memories that resist change.
These memories won't leave me alone
Continued struggle with persistent memories.
The perfect person is pretending it's true
Someone portraying perfection while hiding the truth.
Said what would happen if it happened to you
Questioning the impact of a negative event on someone.
I think I'm gettin' pretty close to the edge
Feeling close to a breaking point or crisis.
And now I'm losing my breath
Experiencing breathlessness, a sign of distress.
Guess rock bottom isn't what I expect
Realizing that rock bottom is different from expectations.
And it's okay to be a little afraid until it's not
Acknowledging fear is acceptable until it isn't.
I'm cursin' out who told me to think out of the box
Expressing frustration with unconventional advice.
Cuz at a certain point I'd rather be in
Preferably being part of something familiar.
And I might lose my sanity if we ain't doin' any numbers again
Fearing a loss of sanity without achieving success.
A hundred voices tryna pull me in a thousand directions
Dealing with numerous conflicting influences.
A million different times you tried to teach me a lesson
Receiving repeated attempts to teach a lesson.
And a billion times I told you to quit
Resisting advice multiple times.
You probably kicked me out the house cuz you were done with hearin' all of my shh
Recalling being kicked out due to frustrations.
But I'm sorry, I tell you cuz my memories haunt
Apologizing for haunting memories and mistakes.
Take my apology and probably do whatever you want
Offering an apology and accepting consequences.
And if I never get to see you again
Expressing awareness that some relationships may end.
I know that in another life that you and me could be forever as friends, I tell 'em
Believing in the potential for friendship in another life.
Leave me alone
Reiterating the desire to be left alone.
It's in my head at night
Continued struggle with intrusive thoughts at night.
Took my only fight
Recalling the impact of a significant fight.
These memories, these memories
Persistently haunted by memories.
Won't leave me alone
Struggling with memories that resist fading.
If I could I would
Reiteration of the desire for positive life changes.
Change my life for good
Desire for lasting positive transformation.
But these memories
Continued struggle with memories resisting change.
These memories won't leave me alone
Persevering through memories that persist.
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Repeating the plea to be left alone.
