| The Neighbourhood – Leaving Tonight Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is probably about a relationship ''You fooled me from the start When you let me start to love you'' I kinda points that way, but there's also another meaning - at least to me. To me, this song is about suicide. It's very obvious with the chorus: ''I'm leaving tonight, I'll be gone in the morning'' But also in the rest of the lyrics. ''It's like a bunch of broken picture frames But the photo still remains the same'' Maybe feeling like a broken person, but you're just kinda still there? I mean, you breathe, your heart beats and you live, but you're suffocating, you can't feel anything, and you're not really alive. ''And I, I thought it'd be easy to run But my legs are broken.'' When you don't have problems or issues, they don't feel like such a big threat, and you feel like you're a strong person, capable of solving your problems. But when you're not alright, when you discover your legs to be broken (or your faith or hope) you can't really run or do anything? Or, when I was little, I had the idea that I would always be able to just move or have a break from my problems or the things haunting me. But when it isn't other people anymore that's the problem, it's impossible to run away from. ''All alone All we know Is haunting me Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe'' Everything crashing down, making you feel unable to breathe, like you're suffocating. It overwhelms you, especially if you're all alone. ''And I, I figured it all to be love But this isn't lovely'' Life doesn't seem hard, and it's supposed to be good - sometimes hard - but great and beautiful. Sometimes it's just hard. It should be lovely to be alive - what a privilege! - but this is not lovely at all. ''I'm leaving tonight, I'll be gone in the morning'' - I'm committing suicide tonight and I'll be gone tomorrow. Life should be lovely, but it isn't lovely, I'm a broken person still alive and I can't breathe any more. |
