Lead The Way
Consumed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My feet on the ground, it's so complete.
Take my hand and lead the way.
Pull me through, 'cause I'm with you.
Will you miss me when I go away?
Will you miss me when I'm far away?
And you say:
Chorus:
I've still got that picture of you,
Back when we went with each other.
If there was another way, fact is I would stay.
No other way.
Got to do what you do,
I'll never stop loving you.
Runaway, don't run away.
Chorus.
Will you miss me when I go away?
Will you iss me when I'm far away? (2x)
(How I need to see this place. How I long to see her face)
When I'm far away (2x)
The opening lines of the song express the singer's confidence and determination as they describe themselves as being on a roll and back in the seat. The line "My feet on the ground, it's so complete" indicates that the singer has a solid foundation and is feeling grounded. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's life, suggesting that they are in control and moving forward. The chorus of the song is about missing someone and thinking about them when they're not there. The verses and chorus seem to be juxtaposed as the verses are about the singer's confidence in their ability to move forward, while the chorus is about the fear of being forgotten by someone they care about. The lines "Got to do what you do, I'll never stop loving you" express the singer's devotion to the person they are singing about, regardless of the distance between them.
The bridge of the song features a repetition of the question "Will you miss me when I go away?/ Will you miss me when I'm far away?" The repetition of this question highlights the singer's anxiety and vulnerability at the thought of being separated from the person they care about. The final lines of the song express a yearning to see the person's face and be in their presence again. Overall, the song is about love, devotion, and the fear of being forgotten by the person you care about.
