Away
Fernando Lyrics

Away, away, oh, away, away
Repetition of 'away' emphasizes the theme of being pushed away or rejected

This feels like the coldest day in a hurricane
The situation is chaotic and turbulent, and the singer feels isolated and alone

Looking through a glass window
The singer feels like an outsider, watching a situation unfold

And ya screaming to the top of yours lungs
The other person is expressing their emotions loudly, but the artist feels unheard

And the bells done rung and the crowd can't hear you
Metaphorical language suggests that time has run out and no one is paying attention

And all that I can see is a building burning
The situation is destructive and dangerous

I just gotta rescue my baby
The singer is determined to save what they care about most

But you don't even recognize me
The other person has emotionally distanced themselves from the artist

And even though the feeling's been gone
The relationship has lost its spark, but the artist wants to make things work

I just wanna be here to pick up the little pieces of remains
Even though it might be too late to salvage the relationship, the artist wants to do what they can to make things right

I'm going down, the plane is smoking, and the only one
Metaphorical language describes the relationship as a plane that is crashing

Who can save me is you but you wanna throw me
The artist's only hope is the other person, but they are pushing them away

You used to ask why was I so skeptic of love
The other person used to question the singer's pessimistic view of relationships

Girls, 'cause it changes, and it ain't got to be no real season
The singer sees relationships as unpredictable and fickle

You start to live the dream and before you know
The singer feels like their hopes were crushed before they were even fully realized

There's a door that open, and the moment you walk in it close
Metaphorical language suggests that opportunities and relationships can be fleeting

Maybe it's somebody else or a situation that you can't help
The artist considers the possibility that something outside of the relationship is causing the other person to push them away

Oh love, oh love, oh love, oh love, just ain't what it used to be
The singer mourns the loss of what the relationship used to be

I confronted my fears with open arms, although you said
The singer overcame their doubts and fears, but the other person didn't reciprocate

You will never give up on us, but now you blow me
The other person made a promise they did not keep, and are now rejecting the artist

Perfect we said we'd never be
The artist and the other person never claimed to be perfect for each other

So why is this happening to me?
The artist is struggling to understand why the relationship is falling apart

No way, no way, no way
Repetition emphasizes the level of rejection the singer feels

Away, away, away, away, oh why?
Repetition of 'away' highlights the artist's feelings of being pushed away

I gotta know why you wanna throw me away
The singer desperately wants to understand why they are being rejected by the other person

I wanna know
The singer is seeking answers to their questions
