Hopium explained in this tweet how the meaning of the song impacts his life:
I was writing from the perspective of a character that was inspired by how I felt I’d been treated in a breakup. I was trying to paint a picture of a pretty bad narcissist.”
Leave Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come pick me up from that bar in Adelaide
You know the place
Two minutes til I self destruct
Light a match and watch the flames, you know the place
[Pre-Chorus]
I can love you and still be hateful
Only fuck you and be unfaithful
I'm always blaming you when I know it's me
Shaming you for just being there for me
Being there for me
[Chorus]
Don't, don't trust in
Any promises I make, or the shit I'm gonna say
You won't get justice
I can always find a way to make both of us pay
I know
You know, I know
You won't ever leave
I know
You know, I know
You're gonna take more shit from me
[Verse 2]
You wait up all night in your room until I send a two-word text
And by the time you've woken up to everything I put you through
I will have left
And you'll have to accept that you're complicit cause you allow it
If there's a limit, I haven't found it
I'm always blaming you when I know it's me
Shaming you for just being there for me
Being there for me
[Chorus]
Don't, don't trust in
Any promises I make, or the shit I'm gonna say
You won't get justice
I can always find a way to make both of us pay
I know
You know, I know
You won't ever leave
I know
You know, I know
You're gonna take more shit from me (oooh)
[Outro]
Don't, don't trust in
Any promises I make, or the shit I'm gonna say
You won't get justice
I can always find a way to make both of us pay
I know
You know, I know
You won't ever leave
I know
You know, I know
You're gonna take more shit from me

What did Hopium say about "Leave"?
I started writing this song, ‘Leave’ in London and at first it was just a stream of consciousness, finding words and phrases. The story started to make itself apparent pretty quickly though. I’d just been through a bad breakup that was on my mind a lot. At the time I felt like it was pretty overdue....
How did the song come together?

What is the inspiration behind this track?
When I was writing this song, I was drawing from that experience and trying to build a character from it; someone that’s self-destructive and hurtful, and even sort of arrogant about the fact that they’ll keep getting away with it. They think they’ve got you under their thumb.
What was the process of making the song like?
The lyrics are intense and really personal, but it doesn’t really bother me to put it out there. The words are extreme, but the direction is true, probably a little for everyone at times. Like, I wasn’t writing thinking of myself, but I’m not perfect and I probably do have a bit of this person in me...
