Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Leave me alone)
All you did was hurt me
Instead of help,
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone!
As I touch myself
(Leave me alone)
You promised death would truly
Set me free
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone!
I never thought in a million years
That you would hurt me,
Now I pray to god every single day
That you'll desert me,
I never thought in a million years
That you would hurt me!
Why don't you go away?
Stop the voices inside my brain,
(Leave me alone)
The chatter is what finally
Drove me insane!
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone!
I never thought in a million years
That you would hurt me,
Now I pray to god every single day
That you'll desert me!
I never thought in a million years
That you would hurt me
Why don't you go away?
The lyrics to Bif Naked's song "Make Like a Tree" describe a person who is struggling with their own thoughts and emotions and feels the need to be alone. The opening lines, "All I wanted was to be by myself, (Leave me alone) All you did was hurt me instead of help, (Leave me alone) Leave me alone!" express the main theme of the song, which is the idea that sometimes we need to be alone to deal with our problems and emotions.
The second verse, "As I touch myself my cold body, (Leave me alone) You promised death would truly set me free (Leave me alone) Leave me alone!" hints at the possibility that the person is dealing with suicidal thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. The phrase "You promised death would truly set me free" suggests that someone else may have encouraged the person to harm themselves or take their own life.
The chorus, "I never thought in a million years that you would hurt me, Now I pray to god every single day that you'll desert me, I never thought in a million years that you would hurt me, Why don't you go away?" expresses the person's shock and disbelief that someone they trusted and cared for could hurt them so deeply. The last phrase, "Why don't you go away?" speaks to the feeling of wanting to escape from the pain and hurt caused by another person.
Overall, "Make Like a Tree" is a powerful statement on the importance of self-care and the need to distance oneself from toxic relationships and negative influences.
