LÉON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk through the shadows
Down the dusty road
Until the ocean fills my soul
I hear your heartbeat
It sounds so sweet
I shake the cobwebs
Turn on the strobe
I feel the music inside my home
I hear the drumbeat
The scatter of feet
I belong to the sea
She watches over me
I belong to the sea
She lives inside of me
I belong to the sea
Time keeps me changing
There's no way back
No longer chasing all the love I lack
I live simplicity
It keeps me free
The hidden story
Behind the stack
Tiny fingers unlock the latch
To life's mystery
And I still believe
I belong to the sea
She washes over me
I belong to the sea
She lives inside of me
I belong to the sea
I belong to the sea
She lives inside of me
She's gonna set me free
I belong to sea
She washes over me
Days crash around me
I hold my own
Nights blow on past me
As I brace the storm
And fight duplicity
Through the misty morning
I rise from the waves
Your hand in mine erase the lines that age




Life's a symphony
Can't you hear me sing

Overall Meaning

In Leon's song "She Belongs to Me," he sings about a woman who is confident and self-assured. The repeated line, "She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back," emphasizes her independence and creativity. She is so talented that she can even "take the dark out of the nighttime And paint the daytime black." The imagery in this line suggests that she can transform any situation into something beautiful and positive.


The next verse speaks to the power dynamic between the woman and her admirer. Initially, the person is "proud to steal her anything she sees," but eventually, he becomes subservient to her. He is reduced to "peeking through her keyhole" and bowing down to her. This shift in power underscores the woman's strength and confidence.


The final verse describes the woman's style and personality. She is "nobody's child," suggesting that she is independent and doesn't answer to anyone. She wears an Egyptian ring that "sparkles before she speaks," implying that she has a commanding presence. She is described as a "hypnotist collector," which could mean that she has a way of captivating people and drawing them into her world. Finally, the song ends with suggestions for how to honor her, such as bowing down to her on Sunday and giving her musical instruments as gifts.

You're more real than
The ground I'm standing on
You're more real than
The wind in my lungs

Your thoughts define me
You're inside me
You're my reality

Abba, I belong to You
Abba, I belong to You

You're closer than the 
Skin on my bones
You're closer than the
Song on my tongue

Your thoughts define me
You're inside me
You're my reality

Abba, I belong to You
Abba, I belong to You
Abba, I belong to You

when i was 15yrs old, i tried committing suicide. i took 20 pills. i was so close to death. my whole body swelled up. i got bumps all over my body. my throat was startin to close up and i could barely even breathe. i knew i was seconds away from death. i was gasping for air. i got scared and regretted it right away. i wished ive never done it. for the first time in my life, i cried out to God and told him i dont wanna die. i jus need help. plz help me. plz help me. i wept. within seconds, i felt this warmth, love and peace surround me. i knew for a fact it was God. within seconds, he healed my whole body. i could breathe. swelling was gone. he instantly delivered me from suicidal thoughts and depression after strugglin with it for 6yrs. psychiatrists and psychologists and takin their medicine never helped. the only thing that WORKED was when i cried out to God and asked him for help. he instantly saved me and delivered me and performed miracles on me. he gave me a new outlook on life. for once in my life i actually wanted to live and not die. that was something odd for me cuz for 6yrs i wanted to die so bad. my mom had cancer and shes the reason why i tried taking my life cuz i didnt wanna lose her. i lost her at 16yrs old and lost my dad at 17yrs old. i didnt kno Jesus until i was 24 n a half yrs old. im 25 now n my relationship with Jesus is so strong. hes helped me change into a whole diff person. ppl actually see the miraculous change in me. if it wasnt for Jesus, id be dead right now. The only healer u need is Jesus. hes our healer. Go to Jesus for healing. im living proof 😊💖 Jesus loves u😊💖 he wants u to repent and forsake ur sins, be born again and place ur faith n trust in him. start havin a personal relationship with Jesus and obey him 😊💖

Praise the Lord! That was powerful. I am so happy you’re still here. You have a strong testimony to tell others. Jesus is so Good. I have a similar story with suicidal thoughts trying to take my life. In and out the psych ward with mental illness and extreme depression. God has completely delivered me and has placed a new hunger in me for him. A YouTube video is what really woke me up of a man in the judgement line. It changed my life, I’ll never go back. Thank you Jesus for life and for second chances ❤️

@Daniel Graham Amen Amen!! God bless you.

I thank God for your testimony. I pray that you never stop telling it. It will help comfort others who are going through difficult times. You said that the pills the psychiatrist gave you didn't help. That is because our only hope is in God, who raises the dead. He is the only one who can deliver us ( 2 Corinthians 1:8-11). God bless and keep you.

Queen Bee

Hallelujah and thank you for your testimony. God bless you! I’m glad you’re here!
