Away
M and D Substance feat. Justify Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time
And does she love you like I do?
I do, you know I really, really do
Well, hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
(Oh-oh, yeah, oh)
I remember date and time
September 22, Sunday
Twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces
And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really, really know
But, hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
(Oh-oh, yeah, oh-whoa-woah)
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do?
I do, you know I really, really do
Well, hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day you went away?
'Cause I've been missing you so much, I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
(Oh-oh, yeah, oh-whoa)
The lyrics to "Away" by M and D Substance feat. Justify carry a theme of disenchantment and hopelessness in the face of the world's problems. The artists paint a picture of a world where children cry next door and people walk away from the harsh realities of life. The song calls on listeners to choose to walk away as a means of coping with the struggles they face. The artists talk about how sometimes it gets tough, and they want to hold someone's hand, even if it's just the hand of a little girl or boy next door. The song's mood seems to point towards a sense of despair and sadness, which is palpable in the lyrics "As the death clock ticks, the trigger clicks / Beaten with a crucifix [...] In a world that lies."
The lyrics also delve into various problems that plague society. From increasing death rates and bulletproof lies to terrorism and suicide notes, the artists paint a bleak picture of a world that has lost its way. The song seems to reflect on political and religious problems in society, particularly in lines like "TV blood, a crime rate vote / Politics, and a suicide note [...] The holysquad is filled with hate / Terror strikes Joe Public's fate." Despite the issues present, the song's repeated refrain of "Walk away" seems to indicate a sense of helplessness and defeat in the face of such deep-seated problems. Overall, the theme of the song seems to reflect on how people may choose to ignore the problems faced by those around them, choosing instead to walk away from it all.
