Away
Lady Sir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That blooms for an hour
Will you take away away
Take away my sorrow
Take away away
Take away my sorrow
You gave me half of you
I wanted all of you
Will you put away away
Put away my tears
Put away away
Put away my tears
You turned your back to me
Is it for you that easy?
Will you hide, hide away away
Hide away my grieve
Hide away away
Hide away my grieve
I'm so weak on my knees
Remind me would you please
How to break away away
Break away from you
Break away from you
Just ran away
Ran away far away
Just ran away
Ran away far away
Just ran away
Ran away far away
The lyrics to Lady Sir's song "Away" depict a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The singer's lover seems to only offer temporary love, as their affection wilts quickly, like a flower that blooms for only an hour. The singer asks their lover to "take away [their] sorrow," but it seems that this is not something that their lover is able to do. The singer is left feeling alone and sad, as they question whether or not their lover truly cares for them.
The second verse delves deeper into the issues at hand. The singer laments that their lover has only given them half of themselves, when what they really wanted was all of them. The singer asks if their lover will "put away [their] tears," but it seems that their lover has already turned away, leaving the singer to wonder if it was really that easy for them to leave.
As the song progresses, the listener gets the sense that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to salvage the relationship. They ask their lover to "hide away [their] grieve," and even ask to be reminded of how to "break away from you." The song ends on a sad note, with the singer feeling defeated and isolated. They have been abandoned by their lover, and all that's left is to run away and escape the pain.
