Talk:Don't Leave Home
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don't Leave Home deals with drug addition. Dido cries for someone not to leave home and to ask for her help.
- Well, the lyrics might be a little ambigous, I don't know if it's deliberate or not, but sentences like "When I've been here for just one day // You'll already miss me if I go away" "And I arrived when you were weak // I'll make you weaker,like a child" sound as if the drugs were speaking to the addict, asking him not to seek help to fight his addiction. So it may mean the exact opposite of what the article states (=> the drug cries for someone not to leave "her" [the drug] and that he doesn't need "other friends" [outside help]) :) --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 00:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
