Overall Meaning

The song "Leave" by Sun Yan-Zi is a song about breaking free from a controlling and suffocating relationship. The lyrics use the imagery of a cage and a chain to convey the idea of being trapped and imprisoned in a relationship. The singer rejects the advances of the person trying to control her and declares that she does not belong to him. She has lost the ability to let him into her world, both physically and emotionally, and has lost herself in the process.


The repetition of the lines "I'm not yours, you are a cage" and "I don't belong to him, he's just a chain" emphasizes the message of the song; the singer is not someone who can be owned or controlled by another person. The use of the metaphor of losing her key and her tongue demonstrates how the singer has lost agency over herself, both physically and verbally, and is unable to communicate or open up to the person trying to control her.


The ending of the song, with the repeated plea to "leave me," is a powerful declaration of the singer's desire for freedom and autonomy. It is a moving declaration of self-realization and agency.

Rough translation, hope it helps! (This is the first half of the song, if you like it I'll translate the rest when I get the time):

The car moves as it stops along the way,
Passers-by jostle in the crowds,
The images of the past makes the rain pour in my heart.
I won't deliberately avoid you,
Still in love with you,
Yet as I think about it I feel the urge to cry

Is there any place in this world where it's always sunny?
Where strong-headedness doesn't exist?
Where love doesn't hurt anyone?
Without you by my side
The earth loses its weight
How i wish I could fly, fly, towards you.

(Chorus)
You never told me your goodbyes
That's why I never stayed too far off
I've waited for you till I forgot about time
Yet happiness had long departed along with you to
Leave, leave, leave.

車走走停停 路人潮擁擠 過往畫面讓心在下雨
我不會刻意迴避 還愛你 念著念著卻想哭泣

這世界有沒有地方 能永遠都晴朗
沒有倔強 愛不再讓誰受傷
身旁沒你 地球失去重量
我多想能朝你方向飛吧 飛吧

你沒對我說再見 所以我沒有走遠
等待你等得 忘了時間 快樂卻早已跟隨著你
Leave~ Leave~ Leave~

曾一起努力 曾一起相信 甜的苦的 剩各自回憶
用我最大的決心 要自己 愛了放了 沒有恐懼

你沒對我說 要我離去
我還在這裡 等你帶我
Leave ~ Leave
