Leave Me Alone
Cedric Gervais and Caroline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no else unless that someone is you, you, you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
I have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love but there's no love for nobody else
In Cedric Gervais ft Caroline's song "Leave Me Alone", the lyrics echo a feeling of longing for someone who is not reciprocating the same level of affection in return. The song starts with the lines "Love me or leave me and let me be lonely, you won't believe me that I love you only." This opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is seeking love, but not at any cost. The lyrics reflect that kind of place in a relationship where one partner is trying to figure out how to communicate their needs without coming off as needy or demanding.
The chorus of "Leave Me Alone" is written in a defiant tone, showing the singer's resolve to stand firm in their desires. The words "I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else" might seem to be indicative of the singer's disgruntled and hesitant approach to a friendship or relationship. However, the underlying motif of the song is their determination to hold onto the belief that true love exists and that their love interest is the right person.
The third verse of the song with the lyrics "I intend to be independently blue, I want your love but I don't want to borrow, I have it today and give it back tomorrow" reflect the singer's ambivalence between wanting to hold onto something beautiful and real without the prospect of losing oneself in the process. Overall, "Leave Me Alone" by Cedric Gervais ft Caroline is an ode to the struggle of loving someone who may not feel the same way, and the importance of self-love in finding happiness and peace.

From what Ive heard lately from Cedric Gervais, he is actually a pretty good DJ/Producer and i like his music
XENTRX aka Gruvidru
Deadmau5 also produces dubstep and other styles. Chris Lake uses a similar sound. There is only so much a synth can do, yet so much you can do with each sound. All that should matter is how the track makes you feel... not who it sounds like.

@raininginhell What I'm saying is this: You said you want to hear a cut of the lead. On beatport (or pretty much any other download shop) when you click play 9 times out of 10 it plays the main part of the track, therefore you can decide whether you like it or not. Yes you're right, beatport mostly sells DJ Friendly tracks because most house tracks are made to be mixed. But unfortunately most tracks wont see a radio edit because only a select few go commercial. Just trying to be helpful :)

@raininginhell But I'm here to check out the whole original track from start to finish. As a DJ I want to know how the intros and outros sound as much as the middle, as do probably 50% of the viewers of this video. If you want to hear cuts of the "lead" then you could go to beatport...

@Toxin08 This sounds nothing like deadmau5 or influence from Deadmau5...this is classic sultan and ned shepard

Hahaha Deadmau5 has never produced a progressive trance tune in his entire life.
