Time to Leave
Dune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I know it's time to leave
They gave their lives to me
I made songs about how much I disliked that place
Looking back touched by sweet sadness
Leaving home and seeking out
Kiss my past goodbye and turn to walk out of their will

It's time to leave

I can't deny it was holding me back
And I can't deny I was kept of track
And I don't know why I shouldn't leave
I can't deny I was blinded by love
And I can't deny I needed that shove
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
And I don't know why I shouldn't leave

It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to leave (leave)
Leave

As a child I was protected by love
As a child I got careless of love
So I don't know why I shouldn't leave
But now I'm free to do what I want
And now I'm free to think on my own
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
So I don't know why I shouldn't leave

It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to (live)
Live

And I know it's time to leave
They gave their lives to me




I made songs about how much I disliked that place
It's time to leave

The chorus repeats, driving home the message that leaving is necessary for growth and personal fulfillment.
