Leave Me Alone Lyrics

Cover art for Leave Me Alone lyrics by New Order

It comes from someone who feels detached and emotionally cleaned out.

From the isolation he feels, he sees a sea of alienated people:

"On a thousand islands in the sea I see a thousand people just like me... A thousand islands in the sea It's a shame"

Everyone is an island isolated from each other.

What do I feel like when I'm alienated? Sometimes I feel like being alone - telling people to leave me alone.
