Go Away
Jr. Shab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're always hanging on
Hanging on me
You're always making promises
You don't keep
And I'm the sucker stuck
Drinking the cool aid
But I keep drinking it, babe
Like the rivers and the trees
In the valley
You're always flowing and
Growing without me, i know
It's just the way shit's meant to be
And there ain't no wishing
That could change a thing, still

When you go away I go insane
When you go away, ahh

So I keep on, keeping my step up
I kind of feel like taking a step back
But when I feel you there I know
It's just some pages in a book that's milennia old

Like the rivers and the trees in the valley
You're always flowing and growing without me, I won't
Try to make you into something for me
I'm just another boy holding the string, still...





When you go away I go insane
When you go away, ahh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jr. Shab's "Go Away" discuss the painful experience of being in love with someone who constantly promises things they never deliver on, leaving the singer feeling like a fool. The lyrics use the metaphor of rivers, trees, and valleys to describe the natural flow of life, highlighting that sometimes things are simply meant to be a certain way, and no amount of wishing can change that. Despite the frustration and pain caused by this person's behavior, the singer still feels a strong connection to them and goes "insane" when they are not around.


The lyrics show the singer's internal battle between wanting to step back and give up on this person, and the strong pull that keeps them tethered to the relationship. Despite acknowledging that they are just "another boy holding the string," the singer cannot help but continue to drink the "cool aid" and stay invested in the relationship, even when it is clearly not healthy for them.


Overall, "Go Away" captures the emotional turmoil that comes with loving someone who cannot live up to their promises, and the internal struggle to let go and move on.


Line by Line Meaning

You're always hanging on
You're always trying to hold onto me and never let go


Hanging on me
You're clinging to me and not giving me any space


You're always making promises
You always make promises that you never keep


You don't keep
You never follow through with your promises


And I'm the sucker stuck
And I'm the one who falls for your tricks and gets trapped


Drinking the cool aid
Following blindly, like someone who drinks the flavored drink without knowing what's really in it


But I keep drinking it, babe
But I can't seem to stop falling for your tricks


Like the rivers and the trees
Like nature itself


In the valley
In the place where you belong


You're always flowing and
You're continuously moving and changing


Growing without me, i know
Growing and developing without me in your life


It's just the way shit's meant to be
It's just the way things are supposed to be, regardless of how I feel


And there ain't no wishing
And there's nothing I can do to change it or make it better


That could change a thing, still
Nothing can stop how you're growing and changing despite my wishes


When you go away I go insane
When you're not around, it makes me lose my mind


So I keep on, keeping my step up
So, I keep moving forward and trying to stay positive despite the difficulties


I kind of feel like taking a step back
I feel like giving up and backing away from the situation


But when I feel you there I know
But when I'm around you, I'm reminded of what I'm missing


It's just some pages in a book that's millennia old
Our relationship is just a small part of a bigger, ancient story


I won't try to make you into something for me
I won't try to force you to be someone you're not just to satisfy my needs


I'm just another boy holding the string, still...
I'm just another person being strung along by your actions and words
