Walk Away
Jet Set Satellite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Barely breathing
Alive but not awake
Holding out for absolute solutions
All in all, an ordinary waste

So just walk away
Isn't that the answer?
Walk away

Isn't that your answer to everything?
But when the music stops
Maybe that's the answer?
Or will it still go on?
It still goes on

Misdirected angst
You're cold and laced with fear
Harboring a flame that's long stopped burning
The mind replays to try and make things clear

No, you can't
No, you can't let go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jet Set Satellite's song "Walk Away" describe the struggles of trying to find solutions to life's problems. The singer is barely able to hold on and survive, but they are unable to find any true solutions. They feel like their life is an ordinary waste and have become disheartened by their situation. They ask the question, "Isn't walking away the answer to everything?" suggesting that avoiding problems is easier than trying to confront them. They suggest that maybe the answer is when the music stops, as if waiting for something to happen. But at the same time, they acknowledge that life goes on, regardless of what happens.

The second verse suggests that the singer is feeling lost and fearful, unable to let go of their past struggles. They have become consumed by their fears, and feel like their fire has been extinguished. They replay their past in hopes of making sense of it, but they are still unable to find any relief. The lines "No, you can't, no, you can't let go" suggest that the singer is unable to overcome their problems and is continuing to struggle.

Overall, the song "Walk Away" suggests that sometimes the best solution to life's problems is to simply walk away. However, the song also acknowledges that life will go on, whether or not we confront our problems. The singer is struggling to find a way to overcome their struggles but is unable to find any true solutions.
