Anyway
Mau - Telepopmusik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we watch the waves crashing in and out,
And only they know what we've found
And it almost feels like day time now
Somehow we gonna make it through
I'll break every single rule for you
Well I'll try to least anyway
We decided to turn our world around,
We can drive away from this loser town
Have to escape or go insane,
A thousand miles an hour through the rain.
And we're not sure if we even know
Just where we are or where we're gonna go
But we're not afraid, not tonight
Gonna try all we can to get it right
The lyrics to Mau - Telepopmusik's song "Anyway" is about a journey of two people who are escaping their current lives to start something new, even if they have no exact destination in mind. The opening lines, "And I'm not sure what this is all about, /As we watch the waves crashing in and out," establish the sense of confusion and uncertainty that the singer feels about their situation. The next line, "And only they know what we've found," implies that the two are searching for something, but only they can truly know what it is they are after.
As the song progresses, the mood becomes more determined and energetic. The line "Somehow we gonna make it through" is a declaration of their commitment to this journey, a refusal to let the unknown scare them away. The phrase "I'll break every single rule for you / Well, I'll try at least anyway" is an expression of the depth of their connection – they are willing to bend the rules or risk breaking them altogether to reach their goal.
In the second verse, the urgency increases as the two decide to leave their current location behind. "We can drive away from this loser town / Have to escape or go insane" paints a picture of their current circumstances as desperate and bleak. Despite the rain and unknown future, the two are unafraid and are determined to "get it right" whatever that may mean. The song leaves the ending open, with the possibility that what they are after may not be a place, but rather a sense of freedom or happiness, or perhaps even each other.
