Sail Away
Møme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time, yeah I keep wasting all my time
Yeah I keep trying to unwind-wind-wind
Why am I falling so behind?

I don't know what to say
And I don't know what to do
When you're falling out of love
When there's nothing else to lose
Except for time
Yeah I keep wasting all my time

I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping down

Yeah, we finally found a place to dwell
Could this be heaven? Feels like hell
Can I move on? It's hard to tell
Will someone tell me?

You wanna sail away
Out of darkness out of pain
Do you wanna really know
How to listen to your soul?
It just takes time
Yeah I keep wasting all my time

I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping down
Yeah I'm slipping down, away
Know I wanna talk to you
Roll around and walk with you

Stop hitting my heart
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top of you
Stop hitting my heart
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top
I'm climbing over the top of you

I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top of you
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top of you




I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Sail Away" by Møme and Ricky Ducati are about the difficulties of moving on from a past relationship and the struggle to understand one's feelings while dealing with the pain of heartbreak. The opening lines express a sense of wasting time and not knowing why the singer feels like they are falling behind. Despite wanting to move on and unwind from the stress of the situation, the singer can't seem to shake the feelings of heartache and confusion.


As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the singer has found a new place to dwell with their partner, but it's not necessarily a happy place. The juxtaposition of the lines "Could this be heaven? Feels like hell" reveals the contrast between the reality of the situation and the potential for what could be. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer keeps slipping down, feeling the weight of their emotions and struggling to find a way out.


The bridge brings a slight shift in tone, with the suggestion that one can sail away from the darkness and pain of their current situation. The lyrics encourage listeners to take the time to listen to their souls, emphasizing that it takes time to heal and move on. The final verse includes a repeated plea to stop hitting the singer's heart and to climb over the top of them, as though they are trying to escape the pain and move on from the past relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

Time, yeah I keep wasting all my time
I continue to spend my time aimlessly


Yeah I keep trying to unwind-wind-wind
I'm attempting to relax, but struggling to do so


Why am I falling so behind?
Why am I failing to keep up and progress?


I don't know what to say
I have no words


And I don't know what to do
I'm uncertain of my next steps


When you're falling out of love
When love fades away


When there's nothing else to lose
When there's nothing left to let go of


Except for time
Except for the passing of time


I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
I'm not doing well, and repeating it to emphasize


But I keep slipping
Despite recognizing this, I continue to worsen


Yeah, we finally found a place to dwell
We've discovered a home for ourselves


Could this be heaven? Feels like hell
While it should be blissful, it's causing misery


Can I move on? It's hard to tell
Am I able to progress? I'm unsure


Will someone tell me?
I'm seeking guidance from others


You wanna sail away
Do you want to escape?


Out of darkness out of pain
Leaving behind suffering


Do you wanna really know
Do you truly desire to learn


How to listen to your soul?
How to be mindful of oneself


It just takes time
Self-improvement is a long process


Yeah I keep wasting all my time
I continue to spend my time aimlessly


Know I wanna talk to you
I want to communicate with you


Roll around and walk with you
To be physically close with you


Stop hitting my heart
Don't cause me emotional pain


I won't quit I won't stop
I'll persist despite difficulties


Climbing over the top of you
Overcoming obstacles and rising above


Yeah I'm slipping down, away
I'm regressing, distancing myself

Desde que escuché ésta canción me volví un total y completo fan de Mome. Justamente estábamos atravesando la pandemia del COVID y por el confinamiento me dió una depresión fatal. Y ésta canción se volvió un himno que me acompañó. Incluso ahora que ya estamos de salida. Es un gran tema que no dejo de escuchar. En pleno 2023
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
(((Que la música siga uniéndonos)))

This's by far my favorite mv. As a person who's been suffering from depression, I can totally relate to every single scene from it. Thank you for this beautiful work.
