Leather
Avail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Avail's "Leather" portrays the feeling of being trapped and hopeless, and how difficult it is to escape from it. The opening of the song "I can't say another word I fed these lies they're poison breathing" suggests that the singer is in a situation that makes him feel trapped and he can't express himself as he wishes. He is suffocated by the lies he has been forced to tell, leading him to feel like he has nothing left to say.
As he looks out through the "cracked windows", he realizes that he is still stuck in the situation that he was trying to escape from. The imagery of the cracked window reflects the singer's hopeless condition where he's still trying to look for a way to escape but can't see the possibility of a way out.
The lines "I don't want sympathy so don't sit with me" and "cause I'm still waiting to see this falling down yes I'm still waiting to be beat down flat I won't look back I am still falling down" depict the singer's refusal to seek comfort and sympathy from those around him. Instead, he is waiting for the inevitable fall, knowing that his fate is already set.
Overall, "Leather" represents the angst and feeling of helplessness experienced by those trapped in situations beyond their control.

"Leather And Lace"
Is love so fragile
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words
Impossible to follow
You're saying I'm fragile
I try not to be
I search only
For something
I can't see
I have my own life
And I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Lovers forever
Face to face
My city your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
Lovers forever
Face to face
My city your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace
Lovers forever
Face to face
My city your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace
Take from me
My lace
Take from me
My lace

I was so very sick and my husband knew that I loved this whole Bella Donna album. He played it over and over again for me. He has been gone for 11yrs now, but I will never forget how he laid beside me and comforted me

When Don Henley first comes in, it gives me goosebumps every time. He is a great singer - but he never sounded better than he does in this song. I don't know how this duet happened, but she picked the perfect person to do it with. And it will be around forever because of it.
@resireg
He is great in another duet. sometimes love just ain't enough with Patty Smith
@tonyhoran3263
