Go Away
KOSHO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
When will the days of bad feelings
go away
when will the days of hard feelings
go away
I ain’t had no woman in so long
I ain’t had no woman in so long
When will the days of hard feelings
go away
when will the days of bad feelings
go away
I ain’t had no freedom in so long
I ain’t had no freedom in so long
„une ombre, un souffle, un rien
et vous voilà déjà loin,
ayant parcouru la piste
essoufflé, tremblant de fièvre
et d’effroi“
When will the days of bad feelings
go away - I think they did
when will the days of hard feelings
go away
I ain’t had no freedom in so long
I ain’t had no woman in so long
(french text: quoted from Jean Anouilh)

The words "une ombre, un souffle, un rien et vous voilà déjà loin, ayant parcouru la piste essoufflé, tremblant de fièvre et d'effroi" can be translated as "a shadow, a breath, nothing, and already you are distant, having journeyed the path out of breath, trembling with fever and dread." This excerpt further emphasizes the artist's longing for release and escape from their current state of emotional turmoil and unease.
In the final stanza, the repeated question about the days of bad and hard feelings going away gives a glimmer of hope.

However, the lingering sentiment of not having freedom or a woman in so long indicates that the struggle may still persist. Overall, the lyrics of "Go Away" explore the longing for emotional liberation, intimate connection, and a sense of personal freedom.
