Away
Inhabited Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing touch with You
So many thoughts oh they're racing through my head
They're chasing me
I've got to run faster
I'm tired, so tired of falling for all their lies
I need You, please take me
You're my escape
Take me away
I'm lettin go of myself
You're my escape
Take me away and give me wings to fly
Lost in the words I can't find
As I'm reaching for time
I close me eyes oh You're leading me
But I'm fighting to stay
Can You help me
Oh take me far away from this place
I need You, please help me out
You're my escape
Take me away
I'm lettin go of myself
You're my escape
Take me away and give me wings to fly
I want to get away
To find myself in You
So take me, away
Oh won't You take me away
You're my escape
Take me away
I'm lettin go of myself
You're my escape
Take me away and give me wings to fly
Oh to fly, oh to fly
Until I find myself in You
Oh to fly, oh to fly
Oh to fly
The lyrics to Inhabited's song, "Away," reflect the struggle of a person who is feeling overwhelmed by the distractions that surround them. The first verse begins with the metaphor of being caught in a whirlwind of distractions, causing the singer to lose touch with their faith. The second verse expresses their weariness of falling for the lies that surround them and a longing for God to help them escape. The chorus is a plea for God to take them away and give them wings to fly.
The bridge section of the song reveals the singer's struggle to let go of their own will to follow God, as they feel the pull to resist his lead. The final repetition of the chorus becomes an expression of the singer's desire to find who they are meant to be in God's presence, and to be free to experience the joy and peace that come with it.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of feeling overwhelmed by the distractions and lies that surround us, and the need to seek God's help to escape them. It offers hope to listeners who may be struggling with finding their true identity in the midst of chaos.
