No doubt
Leave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know you, but you know me
I've got my heart on my sleeve for the whole world to see
I've been down, but I've never been out
Eyes to the sky, feet on the ground

Right now
More than ever!
Call it a curse, but I can't quench my thirst
I've tasted rain and I've tasted dirt
I'll keep digging until I bury myself
Give me wisdom over health and wealth

Right now
More than ever!

I'm not going through the motions
I'm not playing a part
This is the sound that pounds inside my heart
Nothing to to lose, nothing to hide
Clenched fists, open mind.





Right now
More than ever!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leave's song "No Doubt" are highly introspective and speak to a person's inner conflict, resilience, and drive to succeed. The opening lines, "I don't know you, but you know me I've got my heart on my sleeve for the whole world to see" express the vulnerability of the artist and his willingness to be open and authentic to his audience. The subsequent lines, "I've been down, but I've never been out Eyes to the sky, feet on the ground," indicate that, despite facing hardships and trials, the artist remains determined and optimistic.


The following lines reveal the artist's unrelenting drive: "Call it a curse, but I can't quench my thirst/I've tasted rain and I've tasted dirt/I'll keep digging until I bury myself/Give me wisdom over health and wealth." Here, the artist equates his quest for success with a "curse" that he cannot ignore. Although he has experienced the "rain" and "dirt" of life, he is willing to keep going, even to the point of total sacrifice.


The chorus, "Right now/More than ever!" is a reminder to himself and to his listeners to stay focused and determined in the pursuit of their dreams. The artist is not interested in "going through the motions" or "playing a part" but desires to fully embrace his passion for music. The lines, "Clenched fists, open mind," convey the idea that the pursuit of one's dreams requires both strength and flexibility.

The Titans went 13-0, including nine shut outs, and went on to win the Virginia State Championship. During the Titans' undefeated season, they also outscored their opponents by a 357-45 margin. 3.5 points against per game. Bertier's stats during the season included 142 tackles, 42 sacks. Good God!!!!

TOrszulak09 Wpw and 13 wins is the exact wina for the NFL 1999 Titans 1 year before this movie.

It wasn't planned by Disney but still astounding timing

TOrszulak09 They were the High school football version of the 2007 Pats or the greatest show on Turf the SL Rams or the Ultimate Rams because they had a Elite scoring offense

I love this speech! In real life, Coach Bill Yoast sacrificed personal promotions and glory for standing alongside Head Coach Herman Boone. Yoast was an amazing defensive coach and a person of principle. Will Patton did an excellent job of portraying a man of true integrity.

Lisa Fuller

There's dignity in consequences.

Jeremy Cox

He lost the hall of fame. But he became a legend

Sarah James

Is there away to still get him in the hall of fame?
