Time to Leave You
Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I too demanding, you're so neat
Gore on your garment, your pale face
No convulsion, just grace
'Tears on my pillow' is our song
Tunes from the past that we sang along
These times are over now I have to say
I can see now, there's no tomorrow
Leaving you now
So why should I surrender
I can see now, there's no tomorrow
Leaving you now
It seems there is no coming back
Maybe I'm guilty, could be true
But say who was cheating, was that you
If he was the right one, who will know
You won't believe me
Darkness surrounds you, brick by brick
Though you're so delicate I admit
I really feel sorry, you're on the decline
It's time to leave you
I can see now, there's no tomorrow
Leaving you now
So why should I surrender
I can see now, there's no tomorrow
Leaving you now
It seems there is no coming back
The song "Time to Leave You" by Beborn Beton tells the story of a relationship that has come to its end. The opening lines describe a night that seems magical, but the following lines reveal the tension between the two lovers. The singer questions whether he is asking too much of his partner, but notes that there is something not quite right about her: gore stains her garment and her face is pale, although she remains graceful. The reference to "Tears on my pillow" being their song suggests that the relationship has been meaningful, but the singer acknowledges that it is now over and he must leave.
The second verse suggests that the relationship has been marred by infidelity, with the singer questioning whether he is the one who is guilty or whether his partner cheated. He notes that the darkness surrounds her, brick by brick, which suggests that she is walling herself off from him. He expresses sympathy and regret for how things have turned out, but ultimately feels that it is time to end the relationship.
The chorus reaffirms the decision to leave, with the singer asserting that he can see that there is no future for them and that there is no coming back. The lyrics are poignant and wistful, suggesting that the decision to end the relationship is not an easy one.
