Go Away
Delain (grupa muzyczna) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What they expect,
It's out of reach
You're not the kind
To reach that high
It's nothing like you had in mind
Another act
Realize, it will not make your problems go away
You cannot act your way out of your daily demise
Get real today
To hell, just go away
Understand, the road ahead
Is full of gaps
Gets harder yet
You're not the kind
To lead us blind
It's nothing like you had in mind
Another act
Another show you play
Realize, it will not make your problems go away
You cannot act your way out of your daily demise
Get real today
To hell, just go away
The lyrics of Delain's song Go Away seems to be a message directed to anyone who is pretending to be someone else or trying to conform to the expectations and standards set by others. The opening lines of the song suggest that it is impossible to become what society or other people expect, and one will only end up reaching for something that is out of reach. The artist sings about the futility of trying to act your way out of your problems or pretending to be a different person, and how it is only going to serve as a distraction, rather than helping to solve the root cause of the problem. The lyrics could also be interpreted as a call to action, urging people to be more honest with themselves and others and break free from the pressure of societal norms and expectations.
The chorus of the song, 'Another act, Another show you play, Realize, it will not make your problems go away', further emphasises the message of the song, urging people to face the reality of their situation and not rely on pretence or escapism. The verses of the song also communicate a sense of resilience and the idea that the road ahead may get tough, but it's essential to stay strong and not get blinded by false expectations.
Overall, the song seems to be a critical commentary on the pressure of societal norms and expectations, and how they can lead people to pretend or act in a way that is not authentic or true to themselves. The song urges individuals to break free from those standards and pressures, embrace their true selves, and take responsibility for their issues instead of running away or pretending.
