Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I came from good hands
And I thought you gave me all my all my plans
oh all my plans
you tried to shead a different light on the situation
but now I know where you stand
oh I know where you stand
And so I've got the road ahead of me I'm goin
but you can try bring me down
oh I've got the road ahead of me I'm goin
a different way to you
and all I wanna I wanted was to do you no wrong
but oh you so mean someone trying to steal your path
Oh come on now go and leave this alone
oh oh go and leave it alone
I said leave it alone
oh oh go and leave it alone
I said leave it alone, I said leave it alone
well I was young
I came from good hands
And I thought you gave me all my, all my plans
oh oh all my plans
you tried to shead a different light on the situation
but now I know where you stand
oh I I know where you stand
And so I've got the road ahead of me I'm goin
a different way but you can't stop
but you can try bring me down
oh I've got the road ahead of me I'm goin
a different way to you
and all I wanna I wanted was to do you no wrong
but oh you so mean someone trying to steal your path
Oh come on now go and leave this alone
and all I wanna I wanted was to do you no wrong
but oh you so mean someone trying to steal your path
Oh come on now go and leave this alone
oh oh go and leave it alone
I said leave it alone oh oh
go and leave it alone
I said leave it alone oh oh
go and leave it alone
The lyrics of Nathan Hawes's song "Leave It Alone" are about a person who is determined to pursue their own dreams and goals, despite facing resistance and negativity from others. The singer asserts their independence and self-reliance, stating that they have "the road ahead" of them and are going "a different way" from those who seek to bring them down. The line "all I wanted was to do you no wrong" suggests that the singer harbors no ill will towards their detractors, but simply wishes to live their life according to their own terms. The chorus repeats the phrase "leave it alone," encouraging the other person to stop trying to interfere with the singer's journey.
The third verse portrays the other person as selfish and possessive, suggesting that they see the singer's success as a threat to their own sense of identity or self-worth. The repetitive "oh oh" in the chorus adds an anguished, almost pleading quality to the singer's insistence that the other person let them be. Throughout the song, the lyrics highlight themes of independence, self-determination, and overcoming obstacles.
