Away
Mercy Drive Lyrics

The lyrics to Mercy Drive's song "Away" speak to a sense of frustration and desperation in the face of an undefined issue that has been plaguing the singer. They express a desire to be freed from a burden or struggle that has taken a heavy toll and that the singer has tried to keep under control for some time.

The repeated phrase "feel the undertow of words unspoken" suggests that the problem at hand may involve a lack of communication or an inability to express one's feelings or concerns, which has caused tension and unrest. The line "unleash the whores and lock the doors" could be a metaphor for letting one's demons loose and confronting them head-on, perhaps through some sort of self-destructive behavior or recklessness.

However, the tone of the song is not entirely defeatist, and there is a sense of determination and defiance in the repeating chorus of "come on take it all away now." It suggests a willingness to face whatever lies ahead and to fully embrace the consequences of doing so. Ultimately, the song ends with an unsatisfying and inconclusive directive to "take it away," leaving the listener to wonder whether the problem has actually been resolved or merely escaped.
