Leave and Shine
Home of the Lame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't seem to get awy with what I've got.
Blood-shot eyes in bed awake.
It seems that I just break my head a lot.
Words I have been mumbling to myself.
I know I should have shared them with somebody else.
Such a bad read should have never seen the light.
This past month just slipped away.
Trying to hang on to what's left of what we had.
There is nothing wise or smart to say.
I just slow you down and burn you out.
Words too late to keep us near.
We are worlds apart but still can't disappear.
Oh, hold me close for one last time.
Then push away this heart,
Away this heart of mine.
Leave and shine.
We are worlds apart but still can't disappear.
Hold me close for one last time.
Then push away this heart,
Away this heart of mine.
The lyrics of Home of the Lame's song Leave and Shine reveal a sense of weariness and regret. The singer seems to be struggling to move on from a past relationship, with "blood-shot eyes in bed awake" indicating a lack of sleep and potentially the effects of alcohol or other substances. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been holding onto the relationship for too long, perhaps trying to force a connection that is no longer there. However, they realize that it's time to let go, even if it's not easy.
The lyrics also point to a sense of introspection and self-blame. The singer acknowledges that they should have shared their thoughts and feelings with someone else, but instead kept them bottled up. They recognize that their words may have come across poorly, resulting in a "bad read" that "should have never seen the light." This suggests a sense of self-criticism and a desire to take responsibility for their mistakes.
Overall, the lyrics of Leave and Shine offer a poignant reflection on the difficulties of moving on from a relationship while also acknowledging the need to take responsibility for our own actions and emotions. The song captures the complexities of human emotion and the struggle to find closure and move on with our lives.

She immediately hated that little girl. Now yall see why "step mothers" have the "evil" stigma attached to them and not step fathers

@Lucy’s World it's not the same. Look at how it was presented to her. Obviously it's a prank but imagine you get such news and not time to even try to cope with it. It's just mixed emotions and despair.
It's not like everyone would by smiling big teeth after hearing such things especially when you're already married and all that

This is fake and now I will tell you why, why Liana does not realize that there are cameras especially in a space as small as that room, even her voice is heard with good audio quality as if she had a microphone on her shirt, how do they capture the audio from her voice so well? And when they change from one camera to another in the same place where the previous camera is supposed to be, nothing is seen... PEOPLE DON'T GET FOLEED BY THIS MY FRIENDS, THIS IS FAKE!! And it's very well prepared
