Go Away
Niblick Henbane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touche, touche
You're right, there's nothin' I can say
I am a wishy, washy girl
But it's a wishy, washy world

Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out

Then I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

Ces la vie, la vie
That's what you get when you get me
Have the right to change my mind
At least a couple hundred times

Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out
Then I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

I need some help
I'm not quite myself
And lately I'm a nervous wreck
My whole world has changed
And the reason I'm strange
Is I love you and baby that scares me to death

Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out
Then I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

I'm all confused but I admit it

Go away
No, wait a minute

Overall Meaning

In "Go Away," Niblick Henbane portrays herself as a wishy-washy girl living in a wishy-washy world, caught up in a constant state of indecisiveness. The repeated line "Go away, no, wait a minute" exemplifies this type of behavior; her flip-flopping attitudes towards a relationship are a metaphor for the broader themes surrounding decisions and commitment.

While the lyrics initially suggest resilience and autonomy, the song ultimately reveals a more vulnerable side of Niblick as she confesses her love for someone and admits that the prospect of commitment scares her. This emotional transparency adds depth to the lyrics and shows the complexity of the decision-making process in relationships.

"Go Away" is a commentary on the constant flux of the human experience, where people are often conditioned to be indecisive in a society where options and opportunities are endless. As such, the song encourages listeners to take a closer look at their own reluctance to make decisions and find ways to overcome their fear of commitment.

Line by Line Meaning

Touche, touche
You're right, you've made a good point

You're right, there's nothin' I can say
I have no valid argument to counter your statement

I am a wishy, washy girl
I tend to be indecisive and inconsistent

But it's a wishy, washy world
Uncertainty and contradiction are common in today's society

Go away
I need some space and time alone

No, wait a minute
Actually, let me reconsider

I want out
I want to leave this situation

Then I want in it
But maybe I still want to be involved

Ces la vie, la vie
That's life, that's how it goes

That's what you get when you get me
Expect unpredictability and change from me

Have the right to change my mind
I'm allowed to change my opinion or decision

At least a couple hundred times
Maybe even more than that

I need some help
I require assistance or support

I'm not quite myself
I'm feeling unsettled or disoriented

And lately I'm a nervous wreck
I'm extremely anxious and stressed

My whole world has changed
My circumstances or surroundings are different now

And the reason I'm strange
The cause of my odd behavior or attitude

Is I love you and baby that scares me to death
My strong feelings of love for you make me fearful

I'm all confused but I admit it
I'm acknowledging my confusion and uncertainty

Go away
I still need some space and time alone

No, wait a minute
But maybe I don't actually want you to leave
