Away
Alcest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this world
Fly away from you
Forgotten
Vanishing
I wished my mind
Could wander without pain
To the gleaming shelters
Hidden somewhere in the sun
Far away from this world
Far away from you
Lying on the sand I hear
The distant singing sea
And stare at lonely clouds
Fading above me
I wished my mind could join them
I wished my mind could wander free
To the gleaming shelters
Hidden somewhere in the sun
Far away from this world
Far away from you
So far away
The lyrics to Alcest's song "Away" express a desire to escape from the difficulties of the world and the pain of personal relationships.

The person wishes to wander without pain, to find shelter and solace in the gleaming lands hidden in the sun, far from the reach of those who cause them distress.
The references to the singing sea and the lonely clouds evoke a sense of isolation and longing for escape. The person wishes their mind could join the elements that seem to be free and unconstrained, unencumbered by the struggles of human relationships. The repeated refrain of "far away from you" expresses a desire to break free from a situation where others are causing pain and stress.
Overall, "Away" is a song about seeking a sense of peace and refuge from a difficult world. It shows a longing to escape the confines of daily life and find solace in the beauty of nature and the unknown realms beyond.

lying on the sand
i let my spirit disappear
from this world
fly away from you
forgotten
vanishing
i wished my mind
could wander without pain
to the gleaming shelters
hidden somewhere in the sun
far away from this world
far away from you
lying on the sand i hear
the distant singing sea
and stare at lonely clouds
fading above me
i wished my mind could join them
i wished my mind could wander free
to the gleaming shelters
hidden somewhere in the sun
far away from this world
far away from you

Lying on the sand I let my spirit disappear from this world.
I fly away from you.
Forgotten, vanishing.
I wish my mind could wander without pain.
To the gleaming shelters hidden somewhere in the sun.
Far away from this world. Far away from you.
Lying on the sand I hear the distant singing sea,
and stare at lonely clouds fading above me.
I wish my mind could join them.
I wish my mind could wander free.
To the gleaming shelters hidden somewhere in the sun.
Far away from this world.
Far away from you.
So far away...
