Walk Away
The Hammer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fall to my knees and I wonder why I'm down
She could never know me
I've got demons in the wake of this old town
And I look inside myself
I free them once again

Sky falls down as I look to myself
Try to push them away
Running like the devil is on her heels
And she looks inside herself
And frees him once again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
I'll never walk away again so help me
I'll never walk away
Because I'm never enough to them
I'll never walk away again so help me
I'll never walk away

Swept away on a sudden summer night
See me falling
And I lose my grip on the one whose always been
And I look inside myself
I see her once again

All I want
And all that I can be
Completely different things
And maybe I need the truth to bring me home again
And I look inside myself
I'm coming home again

[Chorus]

Bring me back
Please take me back
It's all I see
I'm slipping fast
And bring me back
Please take me back
I'm slipping





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The Hammer's song "Walk Away" seems to be an introspective reflection on past mistakes and the desire to make things right. The first verse sees the singer fall to their knees and wonder why they're down. The next line suggests that there is someone (presumably a romantic interest) who "could never know" them. This could be because the singer has "demons" in the "old town" where they reside. The singer then takes a look inside themselves, suggesting that they have the power to free themselves from these demons.


The second verse sees the sky fall down as the singer again looks inside themselves and tries to "push away" their demons. It's said that someone else (possibly the same romantic interest) is "running like the devil is on her heels" and also looks inside herself to free her own demons. The chorus starts with a series of "hey"s before proclaiming that the singer will never walk away again, but does so because they're "never enough to them." The verses and chorus repeat, with the singer seeing this person again inside themselves and wanting to come back home. The song ends by repeating the chorus twice.


Overall, "Walk Away" seems to be a plea to someone (possibly a romantic interest) to take the singer back and to assure them that they won't leave again. Through introspection, the singer seems to have come to terms with their past mistakes and is determined to make things right.

You will never
Cease to seek validation
Desperation grows
Lower than my lowest lows
Trapped inside
Where I hide
You will never know
You will never ever know, Bitch

Panic sets in
As I envision the abyss I've crept in
Don't come back here
Turn away knowing none can go near
Memorize this
Strict warning from a fucking bastard
Misery lives
And she will hunt you till it's all that makes sense

Another day, my friend
Into the mirror I descend
Reenact these reactions
Duplicate the appearance of passion
Act up as a weapon of distraction
When deep down my nerves strike up like matches
And I'll never leave this state of mind
I've tried, it's useless, it's useless
I remain afflicted
Forever suspicious
Of anyone that listens
Knowing well I'm nothing worth fixing
My tongue is a shovel
It dug deep
Bringing you to my level
Another day, my friend
Another day I must suffer to pretend
That this shit doesn't kill me
That I'm fine and no lover to misery
My own friends don't visit me
I know why no one ever wants my company
It's all there
My mirror Medusa, my master
My secret, my slave, my captor
From birth through death and forever
I won't let you walk away yet
I take your steps as a fucking threat
My warning is a fucking threat

@@deblongg1007 Sadness sounds more like country. If your anger wasn't so pathetic it would be metal though, but it's not so it's more like grunge than anything. Metal music is about death and atrocities, not crying over spilled milk or the opposite gender not finding you attractive.

For example it's metal to kick teeth in, but not metal to get your teeth kicked in, because metal is about being a Victor, not a Victim. Especially since depression makes you a victim of yourself, it is the epitome of #NotMetal.

Thank you for saying I'm not shit, that means a lot. Obviously, you are shit if you feel hollow and suicidal. You feel that way because you know that you're worthless. It must suck to be shit, to know that you're better off flushed. If you're suicidal, get over it. The strong will suck it up, and move on. You, and the entire world, know how pathetic and weak you are when you act like that.

The most help you get for playing a victim is a suicide hotline to vent your cowardice to a stranger. The metal world doesn't want or need men that require your female shoulders to cry on.

Weakness is not okay, and will not be tolerated.
