Leave Me Alone
Dover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just leave me alone
I don't want to stay
But don't call the cops
It's the easiest way
(Just leave me alone)
Already know
what you're gonna say
Oh, let me go!
I don't want to

Said all you wanted
Now I get my turn
and I forgot to tell you
what I really thought

This is the end
They already know
I think I ran out of words

Leave me alone
I don't want to stay
Don't call the cops
It's the easiest way
(Just leave me alone)
Already know
what you're gonna say
Oh, let me go!
I don't want to

Got all you wanted
Now it's not my fault
and I forgot to tell you
what I really thought

This is the end
They already know
I think I ran out of words

Leave me alone
I don't want to stay
Don't call the cops
It's the easiest way
(Just leave me alone)
Already know
what you're gonna say




Oh, let me go!
I don't want to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dover's song "Leave Me Alone" express a strong desire for space and independence. The singer is telling whoever it is that is bothering them to back off and stop trying to control or influence them. The tone is somewhat desperate and frustrated, as if the singer has been dealing with this person's interference for some time and has reached their breaking point. They don't want to be physically restrained or caught up in a confrontation, but they also don't want to continue pretending that everything is okay.


The repetition of the phrase "just leave me alone" emphasizes the importance of the singer's need for solitude and autonomy. They're not asking for a compromise or a conversation, but rather for a complete cessation of interaction. However, the line "already know what you're gonna say" suggests that this has been a recurring issue and that the other person might not be respecting the singer's boundaries.


The final lines, "this is the end, they already know, I think I ran out of words," imply that the singer has reached the end of their rope and doesn't have anything else to say on the matter. It's a sentiment that could be interpreted as either a sign of defeat or a declaration of independence, depending on how the listener hears it.
