Away From You
Supertones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I'd like to tell you something
You may think nothing of it
But wait you're gonna love it
What if I told you I held the one true philosophy
Would you hear me out or just turn your back and laugh at me
Lord I just don't understand
This strange creature you call man
But I know, I know, I know, I know
There's no life away from you
There's no life away from you
So I will remain still and silent
For fear of the words I may say
But am I still in my defiance
When I'm trying so hard to obey
Say you got a minute friend
Because I'd like to tell you something
You may think nothing of it
But wait you're gonna love it
What if I told you I held the one true philosophy
Would you hear me out or just turn your back and laugh at me
Lord I just don't understand
This strange creature you call man
Who thinks he lives by his own hand
But I know, I know, I know, I know
There's no life away from you
There's no life away from you
So I will remain still and silent
For fear of the words I may say
But am I still in my defiance
When I'm trying so hard to obey
The song "Away From You" by Supertones explores the idea that there is no life outside of God. The lyrics express the idea that life without God is empty and meaningless, and that the only true path to happiness and fulfillment is through a relationship with Him. The song begins with the singer asking the listener if they have a minute to hear something important. He then goes on to claim that he has discovered the one true philosophy, but wonders whether the listener will take him seriously or simply laugh at him.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the nature of humanity and our tendency to believe that we can live life on our own terms. He observes that we often believe we are in control of our own destiny, but in reality, we are simply deluding ourselves. The singer also reflects on the difficulty of truly obeying God, and how even when we do our best to follow His will, we often fall short.
Ultimately, the message of the song is one of hope and redemption. Even though we may struggle to follow God, the singer reminds us that there is no life without Him. Despite our flaws and failures, we can always find hope and meaning in a relationship with God.
