T.A.N.K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I needa go away
Away from these people,away from the drama away from these niggas
Away from the envy and jealousy cause niggas know we got bigger
Away from the niggas that turn away from God whenever they triggered
Away from the niggas that flex to the ones that are little
I'm on a mission that's why I'm not here
Know I'm at peace if I disappear
Taking more action that's why I don't fear
Changing my life and movin the gear
Gettin more strong the more shed tears
More motivated the more I get near
I gave you my hart, not talkin bout deer
Yeah I gave you my heart, not talkin bout deers
Yeah yeah yuh yuh
I gave you my hart, not talkin bout deer
I gave you my hart, not talkin bout deer
Yeah I gave you my hart, not talkin bout deer
Yeah I gave you my hart, not talkin bout deer
I needa go away, I needa get away
I needa go away, I needa get away
Away, away
I needa go away, I needa get away
I needa go away
Away, away
Yeah I gave you my hart, not talkin bout deer
I needa go away, I needa get away
I needa go away, I needa get away
Away, away
I needa go away, I needa get away




I needa go away
Away, away

Overall Meaning

The song "Away" by T.A.N.K is an angsty, emotionally-charged ballad about leaving a toxic relationship. The singer is speaking directly to their partner, telling them that they have had enough and they are going to walk away. The first verse describes feeling physically and emotionally beaten down by their partner. The line "I have felt the ugly midget kicking on my knee, I have seen the ugly midget walking over me" is a metaphor for the way their partner is belittling and hurting them. Despite this mistreatment, the singer takes responsibility for their decision to leave, telling their partner not to stop them or blame them for walking away.


In the second verse, the singer gives their partner a choice - they can either tell them they hate them too, or they can embrace them and move on. The singer, however, has made up their mind to leave, and they know that they have learned what they need to from this relationship. The chorus repeats the singer's determination to walk away, but in the final line, there is a hint of uncertainty - will they really be able to walk away, or will they end up walking back to their partner?


Overall, "Away" is a deeply personal, introspective song about the difficult decision to leave a relationship that is no longer working.

I wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go away
Wanna go, go, go, yeah

I think about the time
I think 'bout what we used to be
I go there in my mind
The only place I can be free

You and me vibin'
Nobody tryin' too hard to ignite it
Before the lyin'
And all of the cryin' I'd love to rewrite it
Please take me away, away, away
Please take me away, away, away

It's hard to see the light
These tunnels have no vision at all
We're tired from the fight, yeah
But in the mist, I still recall

You and me vibin'
Nobody tryin' too hard to ignite it
Before the lyin'
And all of the cryin' I'd love to rewrite it
Please take me away, away, away, yeah
Please take me away, away, away
Remember

You and me vibin'
Nobody tryin' too hard to ignite it, no
Before the lyin'
And all of the cryin' I'd love to rewrite it (we ride it, we ride it)
Why is it dyin'? Why aren't we tryin'?
We'll always, can't deny it
Oh, these tears ain't dryin'
But I still wanna buy in
Let me know where to find it
Let me know where to find
To find, oh, find

And when you find that place
I want you to take me away
(Take me, take me)
Take me away
(Take me, take me)

Before the lyin'
And all the cryin'
I'd love to rewrite it
Before the lyin'
And all the cryin'
I'd love to rewrite it

Take me away
Away
Mmh, take me away
