Don't Walk Away
Sodom feat. Bela B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish she would, your fat blanket mother
She growls and roars like thunder
A mouth so big, the eighth world wonders
She wants me to throw her daughter away
And pick her up instead...
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Yes another cunning plot, to get me under her covers
Dior stockings and nothing on top
She ain't like a normal mother
I wish I was a million miles away
So I can't hear her say...
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't don't walk away
Don't don't walk away
Don't don't walk away
When will this dreadful nightmare end?
I really don't want another
That fat blanket woman drives me round and bend
How can you get lower when hell is in the gutter
I wish I was a million miles away
So I can't hear her say...
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
The lyrics to Sodom feat. Bela B.'s song "Don't Walk Away" are a narrative about a man who is in a dysfunctional relationship with his partner's mother. He describes her as a "fat blanket mother" with a mouth so big that it's one of the "eighth world wonders." The mother growls and roars like thunder and wants him to throw her daughter away and pick her up instead. The man is disgusted by her behavior and wishes he was a million miles away so he wouldn't have to hear her say anything.
The man continues to describe the mother's attempts to seduce him with her "Dior stockings and nothing on top." He feels trapped and wants the nightmare to end but doesn't want to get involved in another dysfunctional relationship. The chorus "Don't walk away" is repeated several times as if the man is pleading with himself not to get involved any further.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about getting involved with dysfunctional families and the potential consequences of doing so. The mother's behavior is manipulative and shows how some people will try to control and dominate others, even their daughter's partners.

I wish you would go away and be buried six feet underground
I wish she would, your fat blanket mother
