Go Away
Eisley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a part of your soul, boy
And when you say you're gone
I have to reach my arms outstretched to you
Because I know we're through

So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own

Finally it all makes sense
I could keep this all from you
And I could make a statement based on truth
But then it all comes tumbling down
Down, down, down

So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own
So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own

I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)

Go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, and go away
And leave me on my own
Won't you go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
Leave me on my own

Honey, leave me on my own




Leave me on my own
Leave me on my own

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eisley's "Go Away" express a sense of loss and longing for a relationship that has ended. The singer, who refers to themselves as "a part of your soul, boy," is still deeply connected to the person they once loved. They express a desire for this person to leave them alone and go away, which seems to contradict their need to reach their arms out to them. The repetition of the phrase "go away" adds to the sense of conflict and tension in the song.


The second verse reveals that there is something that the singer could keep from their former lover, maybe a secret or a painful truth. However, they acknowledge that keeping something hidden will eventually lead to everything "tumbling down." This vulnerability and honesty is ultimately what leads to the request for the other person to leave them alone.


The repeated chorus, with its plea for the other person to go away and leave the singer on their own, reinforces the idea that there is a disconnect between what the singer wants and what they feel they need. The repeated phrase "I am holding you" suggests that the singer is still holding onto the memories and emotions of their past relationship.


Overall, the lyrics of "Go Away" convey a complex range of emotions that come with the end of a relationship: longing, vulnerability, tension, and a need for independence and closure.


Line by Line Meaning

I am a part of your soul, boy
I have a deep connection with you, a bond that cannot be broken


And when you say you're gone
When you announce that you are leaving me


I have to reach my arms outstretched to you
I must reach out to you and try to hold on


Because I know we're through
I understand that our relationship is over


So go away, go away
Please leave me alone and let me move on


And leave me on my own
Without the burden of trying to hold onto you


Finally it all makes sense
Everything in our relationship is now clear to me


I could keep this all from you
I could have hidden my true feelings from you


And I could make a statement based on truth
I could have been honest with you


But then it all comes tumbling down
But our relationship would still fail despite this


I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am trying to hold on to you, even though I know you need to leave


Go away, and go away
I am begging you to leave me alone and move on


Won't you go away, go away
Please leave me alone, I can't hold on anymore


Honey, leave me on my own
My dear, please let me go and find my own path


Leave me on my own
I need to find myself again without you
