Anywhere Away from Here
Rag'n'Bone Man & P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fearlessness is
Burning bright
We knew nothing
'Cause out of sight is
Out of mind
Before we ever learned the fear of being bold
When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
We sold our souls and
We lost control with
More doubt than hope
Glass half empty
And discontented
From growing old
Through all the failed attempts at trying to belong
I overthink the obvious when I'm alone
But when the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
So pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream of somewhere else
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Oh, when I close my eyes
Oh, when I close my eyes
I wish I could disappear
When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream of somewhere else
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here

Line by Line Meaning
Wild and running
We were young and free, without any inhibitions
Fearlessness is
Our bravery and lack of fear defined our youth
Burning bright
Our passion and energy was flaming and intense
We knew nothing
We were ignorant and naive about life's challenges and complexities
'Cause out of sight is
When things are not seen, they are easily forgotten
Out of mind
We didn't think about things that were not present or visible
Before we ever learned the fear of being bold
We didn't know that being bold could be scary or intimidating
Before we ever were afraid of the unknown
We were not yet fearful of what we didn't know or understand
When the lights go up
When the world becomes illuminated
I don't think I told you
I may not have mentioned or conveyed
That I feel out of place
That I feel like I don't belong or fit in
Pull me underground
Take me away from the surface and into a hidden, private place
Don't know if you notice
I'm not sure if you realize or observe
Sometimes I close my eyes
Occasionally I shut my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else
And imagine myself in a different place or situation
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere that is not this current place or situation
We sold our souls and
We gave up our identities for
We lost control with
We surrendered command of ourselves with
More doubt than hope
Having more uncertainty and skepticism than optimism
Glass half empty
Perceiving more negative than positive
And discontented
Feeling dissatisfied or unfulfilled
From growing old
As we aged and matured
Through all the failed attempts at trying to belong
Despite our unsuccessful trials to fit in or feel accepted
I overthink the obvious when I'm alone
I excessively contemplate the obvious things when I'm by myself
Oh, when I close my eyes
Whenever I shut my eyes
I wish I could disappear
I desire to vanish or cease to exist

When I'm happy,
Pink has that kind of music.
When I'm feeling low
Pink has that kind of music.
When I feel like partying
Pink has that kind of music
When I'm mad
Pink has that kind of music.
Thank you for being my go-to Singer❤

Pink is one of the most consistent female singers out there. So wholesome and doesn't change who she is as a musician. Brilliant
@juxtaposedlime2734
Especially her voice, it's consistent in both studio recordings and live concerts.
