Away
Priscilla Hernandez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memories fade
Oh I just try to scream
Noone may hear my cries
It's so quiet in here
But if my memories fade...
Memories fade... away...

Away... Away...
Won't you take my pain away?

Away... Away...
Won't you take my pain away?

Oh if I try to scream
Don't leave me aching here!
Come to release me!

Oh if I try to scream
So loud you'd even hear
Oh if I try to scream away!

Tears I cannot save
When I fall into the silence
With its freezing voiceless songs
(whispering) lower than a sigh

Darling don't be afraid
Of this dreadful scary darkness
It just tries to take your pain away

Away... away...
Won't you take my pain away?

Away... Away... to forget
The grief that I once felt

Oh if I try to scream
Don't leave me aching here!
Come to release me!

Oh if I try to scream
So loud you'd even hear
Oh if I try to scream away!

I wish I were safe
Back in my shell




Out beyond the furthest end
Far away

One of the best songs I have ever heard. One of the most elegant videos I have ever watched. One of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes upon.

I was 16 when I first listened to this song and it was my refuge for all the moments of loneliness I lived as a teenager. Now that I'm 29 it transports me to those moments of loneliness and it feels as if it happened yesterday. I love this song.

Priscilla Hernandez

I cannot believe it's been so long since it was recorded and more even since it was composed as this song was written also many years before it was ever released, when I was a child. thanks for sharing it meant to you in some moments of your life, and thanks also for returning to it.
