Away
Of_Mice_&_Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So ignorant to the depth of them
A place where we can finally get some rest
Until the rain starts pouring in
I hear your voice, it's calling out, and fading away
If it's your choice
You pull me out and push me away
Push me away
Push me away
I dreamt of climbing out to see your face
To scale the walls I've put up in me
'Cause there's no solace in the pit that I've made
Once the rain starts pouring in
I hear your voice, it's calling out, and fading away
If it's your choice
You pull me out and push me away
I hear your voice, it's calling out, and fading away
If it's your choice
You pull me out and push me away
Here comes the water, bringing me to the surface
Here comes the answer, to the question I never asked
Here comes the water, showing me my true purpose
Here comes the answer, that will bring me back
I hear your voice, it's calling out, and fading away
If it's your choice
You pull me out and push me away
I hear your voice, it's calling out, and fading away
If it's your choice
You pull me out and push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
The lyrics to Of Mice & Men's song Away convey the idea of falling into a hole that one has dug for themselves. It's a place to rest until the rain starts pouring in, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for external stressors in one's life. The lyrics suggest that there's no comfort or solace in that pit, and the only way out is to scale the walls that have been put up. The song is about feeling trapped and struggling to find a way to break free.
The second verse speaks about dreaming of climbing out of the pit to see the face of the person who is calling out, fading away, and pushing away. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for a relationship that has fallen apart. The singer wants to climb out and repair the relationship, but there's no solace in the pit that has been made. The water that starts to pour in represents the emotional turmoil caused by whatever has contributed to the broken relationship.
The chorus mentions that the singer hears the voice of the person calling out and fading away. It seems that the person has one foot in and one foot out of the relationship, which makes it difficult for the singer to understand what is going on. The line "If it's your choice, you pull me out and push me away" further emphasizes this point.
