TWENTY24FOUR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where do I cry when ain’t no shoulder home?
How do I fly when my wings torn?
Why doing right feel so foreign?
Time be passing by and I don’t know how to feel
Can someone tell me what’s the right way for me to heal
Fucking bitches, Popping pills
I been losing myself in my vices this year
Sippin' drank ain't what you think
It outcasted me foreal
Fucked up in the crib
Just tryna make it out this hell
Ever since I left you where you stand been questioning my self
Tryna see if I'm the reason that we gave a farewell
Like
How we want the same things
But can’t get on the same page?
How we goin' maintain
When all you do is complain?
I don't forget but I forgive from a far
I don't wish well for you
I don't think of you at all
(Don’t leave me
Cus I won’t follow
You walk out and I swear you won’t see me
Theres no calling)
I don’t want you to go and die for me
Or even want you to have to live for me
I don’t need you taking every breathe where you think of me
Just show me that you really there for me
I need to know you really care for me
I don’t wanna question how you feel for me
All I ask is can you be real with me?
I don’t need you out here tryna kill for me
I'm not looking to get saved
But I appreciate you tryna stop the pain
But I appreciate you tryna stop the pain
But I appreciate you tryna stop the pain
But I appreciate you tryna stop the pain
But I appreciate you tryna stop the pain
Take away the pain
Shower me in love
In your feelings Ima bathe
In your feelings Ima bathe
Shower me with love
Take away the pain
Can you take away the pain
I appreciate you tryna stop the pain
In the first verse, the songwriter expresses their feelings of loneliness and vulnerability. They don't know who to reach out to in times of need, where to find comfort when there's no one there to listen, and how to move forward when they feel broken. They question why doing the right thing feels unfamiliar and difficult.
The second verse reflects the songwriter's confusion and longing for guidance. They feel lost as time passes by, not knowing how to heal or recover from their pain. They acknowledge that indulging in temporary distractions like casual relationships or substance use doesn't provide the lasting relief they seek. They admit to losing themselves in these unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The chorus emphasizes the songwriter's emotional distance from someone who has hurt them. While they don't forget what happened, they choose to forgive from a distance and don't actively wish ill upon the other person. They also assure that they won't chase after them if they decide to leave, declaring that there's no point in making any further attempts to communicate.
In the third verse, the songwriter reveals that they don't want their presence in someone's life to be a burden. They don't want the other person to feel obligated to sacrifice themselves for them or constantly think about them. Instead, they desire genuine care, support, and honesty. They appreciate the other person's attempts to alleviate their pain but don't want to rely on them to "save" them.
The repetition of the phrase "But I appreciate you tryna stop the pain" in the latter part of the song further emphasizes the songwriter's gratitude for the other person's efforts. It highlights that, although they may not need saving, they recognize and value the care and concern shown by the person in question.
Overall, "Don't Leave" explores themes of loneliness, emotional turmoil, the search for genuine connection, and the need for understanding and support. The lyrics reflect the songwriter's experience of grappling with inner demons and their desire for someone to be there for them in a meaningful way.
