Away
M鷐 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's worse, worse than you think,
If truth be told,
I'll tell you that you're lovesick,
I am sweet, so everybody takes a bite,
Dig in, I'm the catalyst of your demise.
Words are cheap so I'll sell you a line,
Like the way you acted that night,
Second best, is what, what you want then,

It won't cost that much, but me.

I've got you hanging on every word I say,
But that don't mean a thing,
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take your breath away.

Have you had, had your day?
Move close, and I'll push you away.
Play it safe,
For the sake of keeping some face,
Play it safe,
In the name of keeping your place.
Do what, what I tell you to,
With arms we'll carry this through,
Can't wait, can't wait to see you.

I've got you hanging on every word I say,
But that don't mean a thing,
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take, take, take.

Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's so true.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's the truth, it's the truth.
So true.
So true.
So true.
So true.

Oh I only have eyes for you,
Oh I only have eyes for you.

I've got you hanging on every word I say,
But that don't mean a thing,
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take, take, take.

Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's so true.
Oh I only have eyes for you,

It's the truth, it's the truth.
So true.

Overall Meaning

The song "Away" by M鷐 is a ballad that explores the power dynamics and manipulation in a toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of their own toxic behavior but revels in it, at the same time painting a picture of a love-struck victim who is hanging on every word the singer says. In the first verse, the singer admits to being a catalyst of the victim's downfall and exclaims that they're lovesick, only to exploit this weakness. The chorus then talks about the singer's disregard for the victim's feelings, implying that their words hold no significance and that the only thing that matters is their own enjoyment in taking the victim's breath away.

The second verse takes on a more controlling tone, with the singer urging the victim to do what they say, and then assuring them that they will carry the relationship through, with or without the victim's cooperation. The bridge emphasizes the singer's fixation on the victim, declaring that they only have eyes for them, despite their manipulative behavior. The song ends on a note that suggests that the singer will continue to take advantage of the victim's emotions and that the victim will continue to believe the lies they're being fed.

Overall, "Away" is a song that intricately weaves together the themes of manipulation, control, and emotional abuse. The lyrics, although seemingly showcasing love and obsession, are a cautionary tale, warning about the dangers of toxic relationships.
