Leave The World Behind
DVBBS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me, baby
'Cause tomorrow who knows what we will be
Just a drop in the sea
Or another grain of sand on the beach

Darling when your by my side
All my fears ricochet
Take my hand, pull me close

When it all goes up in flames

We'll be dancing under the purple skies
You'll be my sunrise
When the sun don't shine
If the sky falls down, baby you and I
We can leave the world behind

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
We can leave the world behind

I'm not afraid
So alive, no longer counting the days
The touch of your skin
On my body like a warm summer wind

Darling when your by my side
All my fears ricochet
Take my hand, pull me close
When it all goes up in flames

We'll be dancing under the purple skies
You'll be my sunrise
When the sun don't shine
If the sky falls down, baby, you and I
We can leave the world behind
We can leave the world behind
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
We can leave the world behind

We'll be dancing under the purple skies
You'll be my sunrise
When the sun don't shine
If the sky falls down, baby, you and I
We can leave the world behind

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
We can leave the world behind

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
We can leave the world behind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DVBBS's song "Leave The World Behind" convey a sense of escapism and living in the moment. It starts with the plea to be held by someone, as the future is uncertain and they could be just a small part of the vast world. The line "Just a drop in the sea, or another grain of sand on the beach" emphasizes the idea of insignificance in the grand scheme of things.

However, when the person they love is by their side, all their fears disappear and their worries dissipate. The mention of flames suggests a moment of chaos or destruction, but in that moment, they find solace and comfort in each other's embrace.

The chorus talks about dancing under purple skies, an image that denotes a dream-like and surreal atmosphere. The lover becomes their sunrise, a symbol of hope and warmth in the absence of the sun. No matter what happens, even if the sky falls down, they believe they can leave the world behind together, escaping the troubles and pressures of everyday life.

Line by Line Meaning

Hold me, baby
Embrace me tightly, my love

'Cause tomorrow who knows what we will be
Because who knows what our future holds

Just a drop in the sea
Merely a small part of a vast world

Or another grain of sand on the beach
Just one insignificant element in a larger whole

Darling when your by my side
When you are with me, my dear

All my fears ricochet
All my worries bounce away

Take my hand, pull me close
Hold my hand and draw me near

When it all goes up in flames
When everything falls apart

We'll be dancing under the purple skies
We will sway joyfully beneath the violet heavens

You'll be my sunrise
You will be the dawn that brightens my day

When the sun don't shine
During times of darkness and uncertainty

If the sky falls down, baby you and I
Even if the world around us crumbles

We can leave the world behind
We can escape from it all

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
Symbolizing a melodic and joyful refrain

We can leave the world behind
We can escape from it all

I'm not afraid
I don't have any fears

So alive, no longer counting the days
Feeling vibrant and present, not worrying about time

The touch of your skin
The sensation of your gentle caress

On my body like a warm summer wind
Like a comforting breeze on a sunny day
