Walk Away from the Sun
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see in your eyes, I've already won
I could bleed for a smile, I could cry for some fun
Walk away from the sun and tell everyone, yeah
There's so much left in the air
So much to tell from a stare
There's so much left to defend
So turn away from the ones, you hurt everyone
I can tell by your smile, you're coming undone
I could bleed for a smile, could die for a gun
Walk away from the sun and kill everyone, yeah
So tiny dancer beware
When medicated and scared
This smile is so hard to wear
But I have no gun
So turn away from the ones, you hurt everyone
I can tell by your smile, you're coming undone
I could bleed for a smile, could die for a gun
Walk away from the sun and kill everyone
And you're fading with every day (you could've been the next one, should've been the next one)
And you're fading with every day (you could've been the next one, should've been the next one)
And you're fading with every day (you could've been the next one, should've been the next one)
And you're fading with every day (whoa)
There's so much left in the air
So much to tell from your stare
There's so much left to defend
But I am no fun
Fading with every day (you could've been the next one, should've been the next one)
Fading with every day (you could've been the next one, should've been the next one)
And you're fading with every day (you could've been the next one, should've been the next one)
And you're fading with every day (whoa)
(Walk away from the sun) fading with every day
(Walk away from the sun) fading with every day
(Walk away from the sun) fading with every day
(Walk away from the sun) fading with every day
The lyrics to "Walk Away From The Sun" by Seether are about someone who is spiraling out of control and needs to walk away from their destructive patterns. The chorus repeats "walk away from the sun" which can be interpreted as walking away from the "light" or "life" that they are currently living and instead moving towards a different path, even if it may be difficult. The line "come slowly undone" suggests that this person is slowly losing themselves and unraveling, but the singer can see that they have already won the battle, implying that the person already knows they need to make a change. The line "I could bleed for a smile" suggests that the singer is willing to go through pain or difficulty if it means seeing this person happy again.
The verse "turn away from the ones, you hurt everyone" implies that this person's destructive behavior has been affecting those around them, and they need to take responsibility for their actions. The line "when medicated and scared" suggests that this person may be struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues, which can be a difficult battle to face. The repetition of "fading with every day" throughout the song adds to the sense of urgency and emphasizes that time is running out for this person to make a change.

(Walk away from the sun) fading with every day
Each step taken away from the light leaves me just a little more drained
