Walk Away
Bricklin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my life, in this restless life,
So many wasted dreams,
They all leave me tired now.
All of my friends,
All of my friends
Seems so far away.
Do they remember me?

Where are they now?
We swore we
Well, I still hear them now.

Ah, the rain daily washes down,
There
I should have known they wouldn't
But I won
While the rain is falling down.

I can
All I got left is time,
I
Wondering why why why,
Why I
Well, I still hear them now.

Ah, the rain daily washes down,
There
I should have known they wouldn't
But I won

Ah, the rain daily washes down (down down).
No, I won
I should have known they wouldn't

The rain is falling down,
Down on the empty streets,
Oh, where we used to meet,
There
Where are my friends?
We swore we
Well, I hear them now.

Ah, the rain daily washes down,
There
I should have known they wouldn't
But I won

Ah, the rain daily washes down (down down),
No, I won
While the rain is falling down.
No, I

Ah, the rain daily washes down,
There

I should have known they wouldn't
No, not gonna walk away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Walk Away by Bricklin provide a vivid portrayal of the sense of loneliness, despair, and disconnection that one may feel amid the chaos and uncertainties of life. In the opening lines of the song, the singer reflects on the many dreams that she had in her life that now seem to be wasted and leave her exhausted. She also feels disconnected from her friends who seem far away from her and wonders if they still remember her.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "Ah, the rain daily washes down," which can be interpreted in a literal sense, as if the rain is washing away everything and the singer is left with nothing. The line "Where are my friends? We swore we'd never walk away" highlights the emotional distance and disconnect that she feels from her friends, despite their earlier promise to stay together. However, she can still hear their voices in her head, indicating that her connection with them is not entirely severed.

The final chorus of the song takes a different turn, with the singer proclaiming that she won't walk away. The repetition of the line "I should have known they wouldn't" suggests that the singer has come to terms with the transience of life and the ever-shifting nature of relationships. In the end, despite the challenges that she faces, she chooses to stay and face them head-on, refusing to give up.
