Leave Me Forever
Silke Bischoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living here in this cage
I can't leave the city 'cause I belong
To the boys of the band
Driving alone in a starless night
I could die for shame
There's no excuse, I've lost control
I love you so
Leave me forever, get out of my life
Leave me forever before I lose my mind
I see you everyday in his arms
I see you everyday in his arms
I've seen the rainbow in a blue blue sky
With a silent heart
And I've seen the abyss in an angel's eye
Wild at heart
I'm dead and buried in an ivory-tower
In a golden grave
I'm dead and buried for eternity
I'll be your slave
The lyrics to Silke Bischoff's song "Leave Me Forever" depict the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape from a certain situation. The singer seems to be living a life they don't want to be living, unable to escape from a situation they feel as though they belong to, "I can't leave the city 'cause I belong to the boys of the band". This could be interpreted as being in a relationship, job, or any situation where the singer feels trapped. They feel as though they've lost control and are unable to escape, with "no way to run no way to hide".
The second verse continues with the theme of feeling trapped, but also introduces the felt of the pain of heartbreak. The singer sees the person they love everyday with someone else, "I see you everyday in his arms". The line "wild at heart" shows the singer's desperation and feeling of being out of control, with a theme of death and being buried in reference to feeling stuck, possibly indicating they feel like they are emotionally dead. The last line of the verse, "I'll be your slave" shows the desperation in wanting to stay in the relationship, even though it's causing pain.
Overall, the song conveys feelings of entrapment and emotional pain, with a plea to be left alone and to escape the situation causing the pain.

No way to run no way to hide
I feel trapped and unable to escape
Living here in this cage
My daily life feels like being imprisoned
I can't leave the city 'cause I belong
I am stuck here due to my attachment to the band
To the boys of the band
I am deeply devoted to the band members
Driving alone in a starless night
Feeling lonely and secluded while on the road
I could die for shame
The shame I feel is overwhelming
There's no excuse, I've lost control
I know I'm to blame for my current state of mind
I love you so
Despite it all, I can't help but love you deeply
Leave me forever, get out of my life
I need you to leave me alone for good
Leave me forever before I lose my mind
Staying in this situation is driving me crazy
I see you everyday in his arms
I'm tortured by the sight of you with another man
I've seen the rainbow in a blue blue sky
I've experienced beauty in the midst of sadness
With a silent heart
My joy is subdued and hidden deep inside
And I've seen the abyss in an angel's eye
I've encountered darkness where I least expected
Wild at heart
Despite my pain, I am still passionate and unrestrained
I'm dead and buried in an ivory-tower
I've isolated myself from the world in my own delusions
In a golden grave
I'm entranced by a false sense of luxury and comfort
I'm dead and buried for eternity
I fear there's no turning back from this state of mind
I'll be your slave
Despite my desire for freedom, I can't help but submit to you
