Leaving Today
Ria Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need to pack my things, I'm leaving today
I don't need no car no keys, I'm leaving today
Keep it all baby, I'm leaving
It's still hurting
But not like it was
Grey skies behind me now
I'm still breaking but not like I was
You helped me down now you won't help me at all
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm leaving today, leaving today
I'm leaving today, leaving today
Now get off and dry your eyes
You don't get my time for free
I finally realize you where never there for me
So read your books and write me letters
Call your problems out my name
But you never change, no you never changed
It's still hurting
But not like it was
Grey skies behind me now
Open above
I'm still breaking but not like I was
You helped me down now you won't help me at all
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
If you had your ways still be breathing for your suffocating
Just when I'm ok you come back and it starts over again
If you had your way nothing would ever change
I'd be under you needing you
You never let me go
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now
"Leaving Today" by Ria Mae is about moving on from a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe leaving the relationship behind, without needing any material belongings or the help of the ex-partner. The song talks about the pain that the singer experienced in the past, but now they are in a better place. They still feel hurt, but it's not as intense as it was before. The grey skies of sadness are behind them, and they're looking towards an open sky, which symbolizes hope and a brighter future.
The chorus of the song is about running away from the past and embracing the present. The singer is determined to move on, and they do not want to look back. The lyrics "I'm leaving today, leaving today. I'm leaving today, leaving today" repeat throughout the chorus, emphasizing the importance of leaving behind the past.
In the bridge, the singer addresses the ex-partner, telling them to move on and not waste their time trying to win them back. The singer recognizes that the ex-partner was never there for them and now realize that they were in a toxic relationship. The ending of the song is a repetition of the chorus, with the lyrics "I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' you can kiss me now, now", representing the singer's final leap of moving on from the past.
