Rebel
The Golden Leaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what´s going on with you
Life passed you by, but i´m stuck in my head with you
Tell me i´m strong, let me go on
I thought i was better but saints sometimes fall

How can you love me now?
How can you look at me now?
I´m just a sinner to you

Come and stay for a little while
I´m not ready to see this go, ever or now
Five years has gone, night turns to dawn
Life will get better but rebels they fall

How can you love me now?
How can you look at me now?
I´m just a sinner to you

All i can hope
Is that one day
You´ll see me for
All that i was
And not what í have turned into now

I´ll walk alone now
To see what i find
Through love & hope

I´ll walk alone now
To see what i find
Through love & hope

I´ll walk alone now
To see what i find
Through love & hope

I´ll walk alone now
To see what i find
Through love & hope





Through Love And Hope!

Overall Meaning

The chorus reveals an underlying feeling of doubt and unworthiness. The singer questions how their loved one can still love them after witnessing their flaws and mistakes. They see themselves as a sinner, someone who has not lived up to expectations. It is a plea for acceptance and understanding.


The middle section of the song brings a glimmer of hope. The singer asks their loved one to stay a little longer, not ready to face the possibility of losing them. They acknowledge that time has passed, but believe that life will get better. However, they also recognize the nature of rebellion, acknowledging that rebels can falter.


The final part of the song reflects a sense of determination and independence. The singer decides to venture on their own, searching for something meaningful. They hope that one day, their loved one will see them as they truly are, beyond their current state, and appreciate them for who they were before.
