Away
Monovine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The guilt I try to stop
Your wooden eyes
Your creepy glorious smile
This time of year
I want to dissapear
To go away
Who are you to judge
Who are you to hide behind the line
Who are you to judge
Destroyed lungs
Black cats, my princess touch
I'll find the way
In things I love to hate
I'm flying away
This is my fault
The lyrics of Monovine's song "Away" convey a feeling of guilt and a desire to escape. The first line, "It is my fault" suggests that the singer is taking responsibility for something, a mistake perhaps. The following line, "The guilt I try to stop" indicates that the singer is struggling to move on from this feeling of responsibility. The next two lines, "Your wooden eyes, your creepy glorious smile" seem to be directed at someone, possibly a former lover, and suggest a negative feeling towards them.
The second half of the song expresses a desire to escape, particularly during this time of year. The repetition of "To go away, to travel far away" highlights the intensity of this desire. The next set of lines, "Who are you to judge, who are you to hide behind the line, who are you to judge" could be interpreted as a challenge to the person who had been judged unfairly. The following lines, "Destroyed lungs, black cats, my princess touch, I'll find a way in things I love to hate" suggest an attempt to cope with the situation by finding solace in things that provide both comfort and discomfort. The final line, "I'm flying away" seems to indicate that the singer has found the escape that they were seeking.
Overall, the lyrics of "Away" are open to interpretation, but the theme of guilt, negative feelings towards someone, and a strong desire to escape are prominent throughout.
Line by Line Meaning
It is my fault
I take responsibility for what has happened
The guilt I try to stop
I feel guilty, but I am trying to overcome it
Your wooden eyes
Your eyes are emotionless
Your creepy glorious smile
Your smile is eerie but also impressive
This time of year
During this season
I want to disappear
I wish to go unnoticed
To go away
To leave this place
To travel far away
To go to a distant location
Who are you to judge
You are in no position to criticize
Who are you to hide behind the line
You have no grounds to take shelter behind anything
Who are you to judge
You are in no position to condemn
Destroyed lungs
My lungs are damaged
Black cats, my princess touch
My touch is like that of royalty, but I associate it with bad luck
I'll find the way
I will discover a path forward
In things I love to hate
In things that I have a strong negative reaction to, despite my attraction to them
I'm flying away
I am leaving this place by flying
