Leave Me Alone
Dirty Little Rabbits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are the feelings gone
Are the feelings gone
Then they won't belong to you
Sadness does fall like shadows all around, bigger than I, bigger than I, bigger than I
Do you even know how fantastic you are sometimes, bigger than I, bigger than I, bigger than I
Are the feelings gone
La la la la la
Are the feelings gone
Na na na na na
Are the feelings gone
La la la la la
Then they won't belong to you
Are you happy now, do you even know what you've done to me, bigger than you, bigger than you, I'm bigger than you
Are you sorry now, do you even know what you've lost this time, bigger than you, bigger than you, I'm bigger than you
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Tragic is your friend, all around your shadow, bigger than all, bigger than all, bigger than all
Are you sleeping now, can you close your eyes so you don't see me, bigger than we, bigger than we, bigger than we
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Leave me alone
You're all alone, you're alone, so alone, alone.
The Dirty Little Rabbit's song Leave Me Alone seems to be about the confusion that comes with the end of a relationship. The repetition of "Are the feelings gone" seems to imply that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they no longer have feelings for their partner. They fear that if they continue to hold on to these feelings, they will continue to belong to the person who hurt them. The sadness that "falls like shadows all around" indicates that the singer is struggling with these mixed emotions and the pain of the breakup.
The chorus of "Leave Me Alone" is a plea for space and distance from the person who caused this pain. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the need for the singer to be left alone to process their feelings without interference. The line "Tragic is your friend, all around your shadow" seems to point to the idea that the singer sees their former partner as surrounded by negativity and tragedy, which may be affecting their relationship.
Overall, the song portrays a complex mixture of emotions, including sadness, confusion, hurt, and anger. The repeated use of the phrase "bigger than" also emphasizes the feeling of being overwhelmed by these emotions and the situation as a whole. Ultimately, the song ends with the singer feeling alone and isolated, possibly indicating that their journey towards healing and moving on will be a personal one.
