i don't want to sleep tonight
I don't deserve the rest anyway

But if you walk away, walk away

But if you walk away, walk away
I'll do to




But if you push me down, push me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mammals' song "Walk Away" describe a situation of uncertainty and doubt in a relationship. The singer is finally admitting that they cannot continue to lie and pretend that everything is alright. There is a sense of resignation, as they acknowledge that they do not deserve rest for their deceitful behavior. However, there is also a hint of hopelessness, as they seem to accept that their partner may ultimately decide to leave. The repeated lines of "But if you walk away, walk away / I'll do too" suggest that the singer has resigned themselves to following their partner's lead, whether it be to stay or to go.


The lines "But if you push me down, push me down / there I'll stay" also convey a sense of powerlessness in the face of emotional turmoil. The singer seems to imply that, despite their desire to change and make things right, they will be unable to resist if their partner chooses to reject them or treat them poorly. Overall, the lyrics to "Walk Away" are a poignant reflection on the difficulty of maintaining a healthy relationship, and the pain that comes from being dishonest with oneself and others.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't want to lie anymore
I am tired of hiding the truth


I don't want to s...
I am struggling to express myself


i don't want to sleep tonight
I am afraid of what might happen if I let myself rest


I don't deserve the rest anyway
I feel guilty and unworthy of taking a break


But if you walk away, walk away
If you leave, I will follow suit


I'll do too
I will also walk away


But if you push me down, push me down
If you try to control me, I will resist


there I'll stay
I will not be moved from my beliefs and values

I don't want to lie anymore
I don't want to sew my mouth
I don't want to sleep tonight
I don't deserve the rest anyway

But if you walk away, walk away,
I do too.
And if you push me down, push me down,
There I'll stay.
