Away
Hefeystos Lyrics

The lyrics of "Away" by Hefeystos are a mix of metaphors describing the feeling of losing someone. The song starts with the singer stating that the person they care about is lying to them, and slowly drifting away. The use of the word "shaded" implies that this distancing is intentional and not accidental. The singer then tries to reclaim the person, almost as if they are trying to stop them from leaving by pouring their body back into their own. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for trying to hold onto a relationship or someone you do not want to lose.

The next verse describes the physical changes that the person is going through as they distance themselves. Their eyelids are like leaves rustling in the wind, their lips are trembling, and there is a song in the wind. This is another metaphor for the person's state of mind, which is changing as they move further and further away. The singer describes how everything around them is beginning to glitter and tremble, eventually exploding. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling like their world is falling apart as the person drifts away from them.

The final verse is a mix of metaphors describing the person's departure. The singer describes the world becoming silently less silent and blind, indicating that as the object of the singer's affection leaves, the world becomes darker and more silent. They then describe the sun rising and getting paler, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's feelings fading away, leaving nothing but an empty void.
