Leave Me Alone
Airplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mad at the world for what I just don't know
you can't see straight behind those Foster Grants
blind to the truth, you know you blew your chance
One cup of coffee down
your mouth goes to town, oh, oh, oh
I just woke up leave me alone!
I want to take a bath, you expect a pass
Oh no, not now...
you blow smoke in my face, bums me out like mace
Oh no, can't breathe
You think you are so hot, let me tell you you're not-
just get out and leave me alone!
Love is like a Maserati in your eyes
you like it fast and pay too high a price
you think a permanent will change your life
but like your life, your head is wound too tight
You eat organic food, then shoot yourself with booze
Ooh, ooh, ugh!
You won't wake up leave me alone
You gun your TR-3, cruisin' to spite me
Oh no? Oh yes!
Drop me a wad on army clothes, just to be in Vogue
Oh no... too fat
You think you are so hot, let me tell you you're not-
just get out and leave me alone!
You pump yourself with lies and buy them cause you're high
Oh no Oh - just wake up...
Leave me alone
You roller skate like Cher, but no stars are there
Oh no, Ha Ha!
Five big ones on your bet, you'll get together yet - Oh yeah, Oh sure
You think you are so hot, let me tell you you're not-
just get out and leave me alone!
The lyrics of Airplay's "Leave Me Alone" depict the frustration of the singer towards someone who is making their life difficult. The song opens with the singer describing the person hitting buttons on the radio and being mad at the world for no apparent reason. The person seems to be unable to see the truth of their situation, having missed out on their chance, and instead, wears Foster Grants that may be blinding them from reality.
As the song continues, the singer becomes increasingly irritated with the person's behavior. They describe the person's smoking habits as being like mace, and resent their expectations for physical intimacy or attention. The person's consumption of organic food and alcohol also seems to contrast and be at odds with each other. The singer describes the person's mindset as being wound too tight, and their head as being in dire need of clearing.
The lyrics of the song also suggest that the person is overly confident in their appeal, but the singer recognizes that this is not the case. They describe how the person spends their money on clothes and cars to be "in Vogue," but these possessions don't necessarily make them attractive. The person has a tendency to "pump themselves with lies" and buy into their own delusions.
Airplay's "Leave Me Alone" reflects the singer's dissatisfaction with someone who is creating turmoil in their life. The song's lyrics urge this person to stop their negative behaviors and to leave the singer alone so that they can have a chance to find peace.
