Walkin'
P-Ro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
So I'm walkin' away
I'm walkin' away
Oh
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
I'm walkin' away
I know I gotta run away
Our life's a mess
It don't matter if we try a thousand million times
Won't get it right
You're driving me so crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I had against the wall
You are the reason I won't fall
Again
At night when the stars light up my room
My heart won't stay shut
I'm cursed by loving you
Oh
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
So I'm walkin' away
I'm walkin' away
Oh
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
So I'm walkin' away
I'm walkin' away
This life doesn't feel fair
I shouldn't be stuck on you
But the way you touch me kiss me slow
It makes it hard to let it go
I know
At night when the stars light up my room
My heart won't stay shut
I'm cursed by loving you
Oh
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
So I'm walkin' away
I'm walkin' away
Oh
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
So I'm walkin' away
I'm walkin' away
Oh
No answer when I call
'Cuz I wanna be alone
So I'm walkin' away
I'm walkin' away
In these lyrics, the songwriter expresses a desire for solitude and independence from a tumultuous relationship. The repeated phrase "No answer when I call" reveals a sense of frustration and rejection, suggesting that their attempts to communicate and seek support from their partner have gone unanswered. This lack of response prompts the singer to distance themselves by physically walking away. The repetition of "I'm walkin' away" reinforces their determination to break free from the toxic dynamics of the relationship.
The lyrics also convey a sense of ambivalence and internal conflict. The singer acknowledges the messiness of their life together, recognizing that despite their efforts to improve the situation, they "won't get it right." The line "You're driving me so crazy / But they don't understand" suggests that the challenges faced within the relationship are not easily comprehended by others. It is clear that their partner holds a significant place in their life, as they were "all [they] had against the wall" and "the reason [they] won't fall again."
The emotional turmoil intensifies during the night when the stars light up the singer's room. This imagery brings forth a feeling of vulnerability and introspection. They admit that their heart won't stay shut and that they feel cursed by loving their partner. This connects back to the desire for solitude expressed earlier, as the singer wrestles with the conflicting emotions of wanting to be alone yet struggling to let go of their intense connection with their partner.
Overall, these lyrics encapsulate the complexities of a troubled relationship, with the singer yearning for both independence and reconciliation. The desire for solitude and the pain of unrequited love are juxtaposed, creating a poignant portrayal of the internal struggles faced when trying to navigate the intricacies of a troubled relationship.
