Walking Away
Egg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm slain
Feeling strange
Get on
And get it wrong

I feel
On the windowsill
Look through
As time stands still

I walk alone
Fall down to me
You stand and watch
Falling down
And I'm always walking, always walking away
Away

Unreal
Street seal
Sideways
To what you mean

Feel right
And so do you
We walk along
Then we get it wrong

I walk alone
Fall down to me
You stand and watch
Falling down




And I'm always walking, always walking away
Away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Egg The's song Walking Away depict a sense of disconnection, confusion, and feeling lost in one's direction in life. The opening line 'I'm slain, feeling strange' conveys a feeling of being defeated, lost, and not being able to find a way out. The next lines 'Get on, and get it wrong' suggest that despite making efforts to move forward, it results in making mistakes.


The next set of lyrics, 'I feel on the windowsill, look through as time stands still' implies a sense of stillness, where time hasn't moved, and the singer is feeling stuck in a certain situation. The chorus of the song 'I walk alone, fall down to me, you stand and watch, falling down, and I'm always walking, always walking away' suggests a feeling of loneliness, where despite having people around, the singer's struggle is something they have to face alone. The repetition of 'always walking away' could indicate a cyclical pattern of making mistakes and walking away.


The second verse talks about the unreality of the situation described, 'unreal street seal, sideways, to what you mean', suggesting a sense of disconnection from what's real and what's not. It is followed by 'Feel right, and so do you, we walk along, then we get it wrong,' portraying a feeling of being on the right track initially, but ultimately getting lost towards the end.


Overall, the lyrics of Egg The's song Walking Away depict a sense of confusion, being lost, making mistakes, and feeling disconnected. The repetitive chorus of 'walking away' may suggest a cyclical pattern of making mistakes and walking away, creating a sense of loneliness and isolation.
