And with your coffin nailed a final proof of your goal failed
You walk away from your mistake
Fuck your life, hate is coming down
You wont walk away

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And with your coffin nailed a final proof of your goal failed.
You walk away from your mistake.
Fuck your life, hate is coming down
You won't walk away
(Freefall into the unknown)
(Burns right before me)
Without a shadow of doubt
You're set to fall
Without a shadow of doubt
We've got to take them out.
The opening lines of "You've had control for too long, but I'll retake my own" in Day Of Contempt's song "Walk Away" express the willingness of the singer to regain control over their own life, free from the influence of others who have had control over them for far too long. The following line, "And with your coffin nailed a final proof of your goal failed," serves as a somber warning to those who have held power over others, suggesting that their own actions will ultimately lead to their downfall. The line "You walk away from your mistake" further emphasizes the idea that those who have made mistakes or imposed their will upon others must pay the price for their actions and walk away from their failures.
The tone of the song then shifts to one of anger and frustration with the lines "Fuck your life, hate is coming down" suggesting a sense of revenge or retaliation towards those who have caused harm or betrayed the singer. The repeated refrain of "You won't walk away from your last mistake" further emphasizes the idea that one must confront and take responsibility for their actions, as running away from their mistakes will only lead them to repeat them.
The final lines of "Without a shadow of doubt, you're set to fall. Without a shadow of doubt, we've got to take them out" carry a sense of urgency and assertiveness, suggesting that action must be taken to confront those who have caused harm or wronged the singer. Overall, "Walk Away" can be seen as a powerful anthem for standing up against those who seek to control or harm others, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions.
