Get Away
Biohazard Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe that when you're free you're never free, if you can't see
-I can never breathe easily- and I pray everyday, religiously, for freedom,
from this life in agony

[Chorus:]
Get away can't get away, I can't get away from you

So I wait and watch in fear of the memory of my life's tragic end in misery and

I prey everyday for salvation - for a reason, to suffer this suffocation...

[Chorus]

[Lead]

Every moment I feel is agony, every breath I take is choking me, every thought I have
just fucks with me, will it take my death to break my soul free?

Can you feel my torment can you feel my anger can you feel the misery, all around me?

I'm alone and out of touch with what is real because no one can ever feel the way I feel
and I prey to stop the voices in my head forever, I feel so violated

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Biohazard's song 'Get Away' convey the feeling of being trapped and suffocated in a life of agony. The singer believes that even when one is supposedly free, they are never truly free if they cannot see beyond their situation. The words 'I can never breathe easily' illustrate the physical feeling of suffocation, while the repetition of the phrase 'I pray everyday, religiously, for freedom' emphasizes the emotional distress that comes with feeling trapped. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desperation to escape from his torment. The song then descends into lyrics about the agony, the anger, and the voices in the singer's head that he cannot escape from. The song is a representation of someone crying out for freedom from mental and emotional bondage.
