1. Area-7 rose from the ashes of Madness cover band Mad Not Madness. In 1994 three members, Dugald McNaughtan (keyboards), Charles "Chucky T" Thompson (guitar) and Dan Morrison (drums) left the group and began to write their own songs. They formed a band and named it after a lyric from The Specials' Dawning of a New Era.

2. Area 7 was born in 1999 when the Foronda sisters created a band that pays tribute to acts like Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Nirvana. After the typical initial hesitation, finally they consolidated as a solid quartet led by Diana and Fátima Foronda, supplemented by the drummer Josie Romani who suggested Karol Uriol’s entry, who switched from guitar to bass.

They grew musically gig after gig, and in 2003 acquired the maturity needed to participate in bigger concerts with bands such as Masacre, Reset, Natura and Leuzemia. Gradually their national impact was getting greater, and after being quoted in press notes and appearing in several television interviews, they published their first and self-titled EP.

Illari Arbe, with only 17 years old entered the band to play the drums and take part in the composition, arrangements and production of the album.

Leave Me Alone
Area 7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could it be that you were someone different many years ago today?
Something tells me you were just the same.
You never learnt to deal with life and now you take your problems out on me.
Exercise your demons somewhere else.
You don't own me, you don't know me.
What makes you think that I'm on your side?
So don't tell me, that you need me.
Get off my back, time to get a life.

Leave Me Alone - I don't ever wanna see you again.
Leave Me Alone - I don't ever wanna call my friend.
Leave Me Alone - I never really liked you anyway,

So why can't you just Leave Me Alone.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't turn my back and walk away.
Can't you see there's nothing for me here.
The time has come for you to stop and think about the things that you have done.
Time for you to face your darkest fears.
All I really wanted was a chance for me to get on with my life.
But you keep on getting in my way.

Can't you see that every little thing you do is getting on my nerves?
I never want to see your face again.

Overall Meaning

The song "Leave Me Alone" by Area 7, which was first released in 1999 on their album "Bitter & Twisted," is a powerful statement about the consequences of toxic relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who takes out their problems on the people around them, refusing to take responsibility for their actions and refusing to let go of those they see as their possessions. The persona of the song has clearly been hurt by this person and is at the end of their rope, no longer willing to tolerate the negativity in their life.

The lyrics suggest that the person in question may have been different in the past, but has failed to learn how to deal with life and has instead become reliant on taking their problems out on others, including the persona of the song. The accusatory tone conveyed in lines like "Exercise your demons somewhere else" and "What makes you think that I'm on your side?" is evidence of the frustration and helplessness being felt by the song's persona. The chorus, which demands that the toxic person leave them alone because they never really liked them anyway, is full of bitterness and anger.

Overall, the lyrics of "Leave Me Alone" have a very clear message: toxic and controlling relationships are damaging and should be avoided at all costs.
