Walking Away
Phantom Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or what I had to gain
Sometimes I wonder
Was I to blame?
Four walls surround me
In a world that seems so cold
Still I keep trying
I can't wait no longer
It's time I move along
I've waited so long
Why keep hanging on?
[Chorus]
I'm walking away
Looking back at you
Got nothing to say
As I walk away from you again
It wasn't easy
I'm walking away
And I'd do it all again
I can't explain all you put me through
And I'm not afraid of living without you
If it means the end that's what I'll have to do
I can't pretend 'til the lies come true
I can't wait no longer
It's time I move along
I've waited so long
Why keep hanging on?

They question whether they were to blame for the situation, suggesting some level of personal responsibility.
The reference to "four walls" suggests a feeling of confinement or being trapped, while the world feels cold and unwelcoming. Despite this, the singer is determined to keep trying to tell their story or find their way forward. They can't wait any longer and need to move on. The chorus repeats the title phrase of "Walking Away," with the singer looking back at someone they are leaving behind. They "got nothing to say" indicating that perhaps it's best to just leave things as they are.

Thus, the lyrics of "Walking Away" reveal a person who is ready to take control of their life and move away from the past, despite how difficult it may be.
