Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't ask me why I drink too much
Don't ask me why I'm late tonight
Don't ask me why I'm looking outside
Just go away and leave me alone 3x
Just go away and leave me, fuck off and leave me, go away and leave me alooone!
Don't ask me why my heads in a mess
?
Don't ask anything cos I feel fine
Just go away and leave me alone 3x
Just go away and leave me, fuck off and leave me, go away and leave me alooone!
Don't ask me why I shout and scream
Don't ask me why I drink too much
Don't ask me why I'm late tonight
Don't ask me why I look outside
Just go away and leave me alone 3x
Just go away and leave me, fuck off and leave me, go away and leave me alooone!
Police man leave me alone
Girlfriend leave me alone
Teachers leave me alone
Officer leave me alone, alooone!

Fuck off and leave me alone
The lyrics of "Leave Me Alone" by Angelic Upstarts express a sense of frustration and anger towards societal expectations and intrusions. The singer is tired of being questioned about their behavior, appearance, and choices. They want to be left alone to live their life as they see fit, without interference or judgment from others.
The repetition of the phrase "Just go away and leave me alone" reinforces the singer's desire for solitude and independence. The use of profanity in the chorus emphasizes the intensity of their emotions and the severity of their request.
The verses suggest that the singer may be struggling with personal issues, such as substance abuse or mental health problems. The line "Don't ask anything cos I feel fine" could be interpreted as a sarcastic dismissal of genuine concern or a defensive denial of their struggles.
Overall, the song conveys a message of rebellion against societal norms and a desire for self-determination. It speaks to anyone who feels trapped or suffocated by the expectations of others and longs for freedom and autonomy.
