I'm pretty sure that since Japanese doesn't have any punctuation (besides period and sometimes comma) they use punctuation among English words pretty freely; they don't necessarily have to mean anything.

But in the case of (don't) Leave me alone the meaning of the parentheses in the lyrics -- she wants you to leave her alone, but don't leave her alone. Otherwise things like dashes and wave things (whatever they're called) are pretty much just used to separate words.
