CARRY ME AWAY
Chris Lake Feat. Emma Hewitt Lyrics

It's like I have no weight
And now, I'm floating with the tide
The sun is on my face
And I hear you talking, I hear you speak
Someone's talking, saying something
But I'm on my own, there's nothing left to say
And you call out
I can't hear you, I can't feel you
No, I can't feel nothing
And you call out, I can't hear you
No, I can't hear nothing
And you all look the same, now
You all look the same, now
Now, there's nothing that I want
To take me from this place
I'm drifting further with the tide
That carries me away
And you call out
I can't hear you, I can't feel you
No, I can't feel nothing
And you call out, I can't hear you
No, I can't hear nothing
And you all look the same, now
You all look the same, now
I know you're trying hard to reach me
You'll always feel the cold without me
I know you're trying hard to reach me
You'll always feel the cold without me
I know you're trying hard
Carry Me Away by Chris Lake is a song about the feeling of being adrift and disconnected from the world around you. The opening lines describe the sensation of floating in the water, weightless and unconstrained. It's a peaceful feeling but also one of detachment, as if the singer is cut off from the people and sounds around them. The verses are sparse and stripped back, with a lot of space between the words and a focus on the contemplative melody. The chorus features a more insistent beat and repeated lines that capture the frustration and inability to connect that the singer is experiencing. The repeated phrase "you all look the same, now" could be interpreted as a feeling of alienation from others or a sense of ennui about the world.

Down, the water holds me down
I feel weightless as I float down in the water
It's like I have no weight
I feel as light as a feather in the water
And now, I'm floating with the tide
The current is carrying me along as I float in the water
The sun is on my face
I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin as I drift along in the water
And I hear you talking, I hear you speak
I can hear someone speaking to me
Someone's talking, saying something
I hear some noise or chatter in the background
But I'm on my own, there's nothing left to say
I am alone and don't feel like talking or saying anything else
It carries me away
The water and current are taking me away from everything
And you call out
Someone is trying to get my attention by calling out to me
I can't hear you, I can't feel you
I can't hear or sense anything while I float in the water
No, I can't feel nothing
I feel numb and disconnected from everything around me
And you all look the same, now
Everyone appears to blend together and look similar in the distance
Now, there's nothing that I want
I don't desire anything at the moment
To take me from this place
I don't want to leave where I am now
I'm drifting further with the tide
I'm slowly moving away in the water with the current
That carries me away
The current is taking me away and there's nothing I can do
I know you're trying hard to reach me
Someone is making an effort to connect with me
You'll always feel the cold without me
They will feel unfulfilled and empty without me in their life
I know you're trying hard to reach me
Someone is making an effort to connect with me

Down, the water holds me down 💖
It's like I have no weight
And now, I'm floating with the tide
The sun is on my face
And I hear you talking, I hear you speak
Someone's talking, saying something
But I'm on my own, there's nothing left to say
It carries me away
And you call out
I can't hear you, I can't feel you
No, I can't feel nothing
And you call out, I can't hear you
No, I can't hear nothing
And you all look the same, now
You all look the same, now
Now, there's nothing that I want
To take me from this place
I'm drifting further with the tide
That carries me away
And you call out
I can't hear you, I can't feel you
No, I can't feel nothing
And you call out, I can't hear you
No, I can't hear nothing
And you all look the same, now
You all look the same, now
I know you're trying hard to reach me
You'll always feel the cold without me
I know you're trying hard to reach me
You'll always feel the cold without me
I know you're trying hard
