Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could go back in time I'd find a reason for you
The more I seem to try, another secret lies
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Set fire to the night, see ashes fall
Set fire to the night, like into the night
Set fire to the night, leave none behind
Set fire to the night, set fire to the night
Every ends has a start just like a dream come true
It won't be long till you'll find the feeling inside you
Before we walk, we crawl, but we can only try
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Set fire to the night, see ashes fall
Set fire to the night, like into the night
Set fire to the night, leave none behind
Set fire to the night, set fire to the night
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want
Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes
Set fire to the night, see ashes fall
Set fire to the night, like into the night
Set fire to the night, leave none behind
Set fire to the night, set fire to the night
Set fire to the night, see ashes fall
Set fire to the night, like into the night
Set fire to the night, leave none behind
Set fire to the night, set fire to the night
The lyrics of Strange Talk's "Cast Away" seem to be about someone trying to make amends for their mistakes and the consequences that come with them. The first verse, "Everyday after day, another question for you If I could go back in time I'd find a reason for you The more I seem to try, another secret lies" shows someone struggling to fix things and uncovering more problems along the way. They feel like they are constantly questioning themselves and trying to rectify their mistakes.
The chorus, "Cast away, from the train, I can give you what you want Walk away, from the flame, and i wont make the same mistakes" suggests that the person is willing to let go of their past and start fresh. They are offering to provide what the other person wants and to not repeat the same mistakes. This is further emphasized in the second verse, "Every ends has a start just like a dream come true It won't be long till you'll find the feeling inside you Before we walk, we crawl, but we can only try" where they acknowledge that everything has to start somewhere and that they are only human and can only try their best.
The repeated phrase "Set fire to the night" could potentially symbolize destroying the past and moving forward, leaving nothing behind.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cast Away" suggest that it is never too late to make things right and that one should take responsibility for their actions and strive to do better.
