Away From You
Slash Savage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come along my friend relive your fear
I feel your skin begin the healing
End your body within
Smile when your mad and walk away
Blame when your proud when you mad
Forget it all
Time is right I flee away from you
And hope is wrong in your mirror in my dreams
I love your sweet sugar and wood
I got a fast train coming
Just keep your eyes on the chances small
Smile when your mad and walk away
Blame when your proud when you mad
Forget it all
Time is right I flee away from you
Hold your breath as the ground comes
Like the breath on me
I dream of the love a girl could ever knowing
Could ever knowing
Could ever knowing
Oooh
Ooh
Time is right I flee away from you
Oooh
Smile when your mad and walk away
Blame when your proud when you mad
Forget it all
Time is right I flee away from you
Smile when your mad and walk away
Blame when your proud when you mad
Forget it all
Time is right I flee away from you
Away from you…
Away from you…
Ooh, Away from you Ooh
In "Away From You," Slash Savage seems to be singing about the complexities of a relationship that has gone sour. The song begins with an encouraging message for a friend, emphasizing the need to reach for one's star and conquer their fears. However, things quickly take a turn as the lyrics become more reflective of the singer's own experiences. The healing of the skin is juxtaposed with the need to leave one's body behind, a clear indication of the emotional and perhaps physical scars that have resulted from a toxic relationship.
The chorus of the song serves as a stepping stone towards finding freedom from the relationship. The singer encourages the need to forget everything and move on, hoping that time will be on his side. There is an allusion to unrequited love, as the singer states that hope is wrong in the other's mirror, but it is a constant in his dreams. The song ends with a repetition of the desire to get away from the conflict and perhaps the key to finding love and peace in one's life.
