Away From You
The Voodoos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late at night, I'd still call you on the phone
Hoping that you'd answer someday
Days have gone and I am wondering just the same
Thinking about the words I should have said

Distant memories as far as I can see
You don't know what you mean to me
It's been so hard to believe
Since the day you had to leave
I see all of you in me
Those thousand dreams were never true
And the sky don't seem so blue
Since the day you had to walk away
You've walked away

Time again these thoughts keep lingering
Where did all of this begin
The night are long and the days don't seem to end
Boy you couldn't find the words for this simple heart to mend
Distant memories as far as I can see
You don't know what you mean to me

It's been so hard to believe
Since the day you had to leave
I see all of you in me
Those thousand dreams were never true
And the sky don't seem so blue
Since the day you had to walk away
You've walked away

And I know




This time for sure
There's pain no more

Overall Meaning

The Voodoos's song "Away From You" is a heartfelt ballad about lost love, regret, and the pain of separation. The lyrics describe the desperation of the singer who, even late at night, still calls their love interest, hoping that they will answer someday. However, as time passes, they realize that they never got to say the words they wanted to say, and the distance between them keeps growing.


The chorus reinforces this feeling of loss and longing, with the singer lamenting the fact that since the day their love interest left, things have never been the same. They see reminders of their loved one everywhere, and the dreams they shared together were never realized. The sky, once so blue, now seems grey and empty.


The final lines of the song offer some hope, though, with the singer acknowledging that the pain will eventually subside, and they will be able to move on. Overall, "Away From You" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to find closure.

Nicole Turner

Oh my god! I saw these guys at the Coach House in California with Queensryche. This band is fucking awesome! The lead singer is a rock god like Henry Noppenberger from Roast and OC3. And the lead singer gave me the butterflies. When the show ended. The lead singer kept walking by me. I was full of anxiety. As I left, I purchased their CD. And I looked up and there he was looking at me with a smile. I looked at him quickly and said hi with a smile. It was a feeling I can't forget!
