Away
Deine Lakaien Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silent groaning on the floor
Slight clicking out the light
Gentle squeaking of the door
I am off in the night
Away away
Nothing's left to say
I am far away
Kicking empty cans
Just around the corner
Maybe you look on me
As a lonesome mourner
While I'm drifting off
Along distant shores
Think I'm nothing but this tin
Because I don't feel anymore
Was it meant for me
When you soared from that pole
Can you see what I can't see
A resting place for my soul
Away away
Nothing's left to say
I am far away
Kicking empty cans
Just around the corner
Maybe you look on me
As a lonesome mourner
While I'm drifting off
Along distant shores
Think I'm nothing but this tin
Because I don't feel anymore
Green feather on the ground
He's been watching you
Proclamation all around:
"only passing through!
Away away
Nothing's left to say
I am far away
Far away from now
Sorrows and grief
Way up in the sky
You give me relief
Like the way you are floating
Conquers gravitation
Makes me overcome
This leaden stagnation
Kicking empty cans
Just around the corner
Maybe you look on me
As a lonesome mourner
While I'm drifting off
Along distant shores




Think I'm nothing but this tin
Because I don't feel anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "Away" by Deine Lakaien speaks of a person who is leaving behind their troubles and sorrows to escape and find relief in a distant place. The lyrics depict someone who is leaving all their emotional baggage behind while remaining indifferent to any emotions. The opening lines of the song, "Silent groaning on the floor, Slight clicking out the light, Gentle squeaking of the door, I am off in the night," convey a sense of leaving hastily and quietly without any remorse.


The chorus of "Away away, nothing's left to say, I am far away" repeats the desire to escape and leave everything behind. The lines "Think I'm nothing but this tin because I don't feel anymore" reveal the detachment and numbness the person feels towards the world that drove them away. Although they are kicking empty cans and walking just around the corner, the person is not really present in the moment and is lost in his dire need to escape.


The song's bridge brings up the image of a feather on the ground and how it represents the freedom and relief that the person is seeking in their journey. The final lines of the song, "Kicking empty cans just around the corner, Maybe you look on me as a lonesome mourner, While I'm drifting off along distant shores," suggest that the person is moving far away and is not coming back anytime soon. The song portrays the need to escape and the feeling of indifference that comes with it.
