Leaving
Dubbest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I start the day in shambles
I feel like I've done something wrong
I'm looking for a sign yea
Listen for a warning
Maybe I've done something wrong
I wonder "am I dreaming"?
I feel like I'm far from my body
They know we've made them
but I feel like I am leaving my body
My fate was shaken late at night
I think it went away
and I've been sleeping all alone yea
The things we collected i think they went away
and I've been sleeping all alone
I wonder am I dreaming
I feel like I am far from my body
We live in memories oh-oh
They know we've made them
I feel like I am leaving my body
I wonder am I dreaming . right now
I feel like I am far from my body
We live in memories. oh-oh
They know we've made them
I feel like I am leaving my body
The lyrics of Dubbest's song "Leaving" speak to a sense of disorientation and detachment. The singer starts their day feeling scattered and unsure of themselves, wondering if they have done something wrong. They are seeking signs or warnings that might give them direction, but instead they feel like they are drifting away from their own body, lost in a world of memories. The chorus of the song emphasizes this sense of separation, as the singer feels like they are leaving their body altogether. This feeling is further emphasized by the repeated refrain of "I wonder am I dreaming," adding to the surreal and disjointed nature of the experience.
The verses of the song suggest that something has clearly shaken the singer's sense of self, but it is unclear what that might be. The line "My fate was shaken late at night" hints at some kind of traumatic event, which has left the singer feeling disconnected from everything around them. They mention "the things we collected" as well, as though some cherished possessions or memories have been lost, contributing to the feeling of dislocation. The repeated lines "We live in memories / They know we've made them" seem to suggest that while memories can be powerful and meaningful, they don't necessarily ground us in the present moment.
Overall, "Leaving" is a song about feeling untethered and unsure of oneself. It captures that sense of waking up and feeling disoriented, as though everything has changed overnight. The repeated refrain of "I wonder am I dreaming" underscores the surreal nature of the experience, as though the singer is moving through a fog or haze. It is a poignant and introspective song, exploring a sense of loss and disconnection that many people can relate to.
